Valentine Chocolate Dipped Oreos

makes 16 chocolate dipped cookies

Ingredients

16 Berry Berry Burst Ice Cream Oreos or your favorite sandwich cookie
1 bag dark chocolate flavored candy melts
1 bag vanilla candy melts, pink color

Directions

Melt one bag of pink colored vanilla candy melts (available at most craft stores), in the microwave. It took me about 2 1/2 minutes to do this, stirring after each 60 seconds. Make sure that the candy is completely melted, as small bits will cause clogs in the piping bag.

Pour the melted candy into a ziptop bag or piping bag. Cut a very small tip on the bag, and pipe the pink candy into the heart indentations. I’m not precise enough to only pipe the outlines of the hearts, so I filled them in.

Wait for the pink chocolate to harden slightly, then repeat the melting process with dark chocolate candy flavored melts. Fill the rest of the disk with the dark chocolate half way, then press a cookie into the mold.

Place the mold(s) in the refrigerator for about an hour, until the candy has completely hardened. Remove from the refrigerator and pop the cookies out of the mold by bending the plastic slightly while you pry. They should pop out easily.

Keeps in an airtight container for at least a week.

Notes

If you can’t find a mold, use a silicone cupcake pan. Reverse the process – do the dark chocolate and cookie layer first. When they have hardened in the refrigerator, remove from the silicone pan and hand-pipe pink hearts on.
