Equipment

Step by step Guide

Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper to cool your dipped Oreos.

Place the white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and melt them following the package directions. Usually, this involves microwaving in 30-second bursts, stirring between intervals, until fully melted and smooth.

Dip each Oreo into the melted candy using a fork, letting any excess coating drip off by gently tapping the fork against the bowl’s edge. Transfer the coated Oreo to the prepared baking sheet.

While the candy coating is still wet, generously decorate each Oreo with red heart sprinkles to give them a festive touch.

Let the Oreos rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes until the candy coating sets. For faster results, chill the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes.

Once the coating has hardened, your Valentine’s Day Oreos are all set and ready to enjoy!
