Ingredients Needed for This Valentine Oreos Recipe

Here’s what you’ll need to make these adorable Valentine Oreos. Remember, quality ingredients always make a difference.

• For the chocolate coating:

* 12 ounces pink candy melts or white chocolate chips (colored pink with food coloring)

How to Make This Valentine Oreos Recipe

Time to get down to the fun part! Follow these steps and you’ll have beautifully decorated Valentine Oreos in no time.

1. 1. Melt the chocolate: In a microwave safe bowl, melt the pink candy melts or white chocolate chips with shortening (if using) in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth. Be careful not to overheat it.
2. 2. Dip the Oreos: Dip each Oreo cookie completely into the melted chocolate, ensuring both sides are covered. Use a fork to lift the Oreo out of the chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.
3. 3. Decorate immediately: Place the dipped Oreo on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Immediately sprinkle with Valentine’s Day sprinkles, edible glitter, and mini heart candies, if desired. The chocolate will set quickly, so act fast!
4. 4. Let them set: Allow the decorated Valentine Oreos to set completely at room temperature, or you can place them in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to speed up the process.
5. 5. Serve and enjoy: Once the chocolate is set, your beautiful Valentine Oreos are ready to be served and enjoyed!

How to Store This Valentine Oreos Recipe

You can also refrigerate them for longer storage, but the chocolate may become slightly harder. Freezing is not recommended as it can alter the texture of the chocolate.

Tips to Make This Valentine Oreos Recipe

Here are a few tips to ensure your Valentine Oreos turn out perfectly every time:

• Don’t overheat the chocolate: Overheated chocolate can become grainy or seize up. Use short intervals in the microwave and stir frequently.
• Work quickly: The chocolate sets quickly, so have your sprinkles and decorations ready to go before you start dipping.
• Use high quality chocolate: Better quality chocolate will melt more smoothly and taste better.
• Experiment with decorations: Get creative with your sprinkles and decorations! There are so many fun options available, so let your imagination run wild. We always love to melt different kinds of chocolate!

Helpful Notes for This Valentine Oreos Recipe

• If you’re using white chocolate chips instead of candy melts, you may need to add a little more shortening to achieve a smooth, dippable consistency.
• For a richer flavor, try using dark chocolate or milk chocolate instead of pink candy melts. Be sure to color it like pink Valentine chocolate Oreos if you do!
• If you don’t have parchment paper, you can use wax paper instead.
