How to Make Lady Bug Valentine Cookies
If you’re really wanting to go all out this Valentine’s Day, make these super cute (and absolutely delicious) Lady Bug Covered Oreos and put them in a cute Valentine’s Day treat box for an extra special touch.
Step 1: Melt the Red Chocolates
First, melt the red candy melts according to the package instructions. You can add a little oil to them if they are not smooth once melted.
Step 2: Coat the Oreos
Next, add in your Oreos with a fork and coat both sides. Remove excess candy melt and move to some parchment paper. Allow to set about an hour before continuing.
Step 3: Begin the Lady Bug
Then melt the chocolate wafers according to the package instructions. Dip your red-coated cookie into the chocolate just a bit to get your face. Return to parchment paper. Immediately press in two eyes.
Step 4: Customize Your Valentine Cookies
Add some melted chocolate to a piping bag or zip topped bag. Cut the corner off and add the line down the middle of your lady bug as well as a few dots as shown below.
Step 5: Allow to Cool and Serve!
Add candy hearts to some of your dots. Allow everything to harden completely before serving. Then serve up your Lady Bug cookies to your loved ones!
