Ingredients
- 1 package of Oreo cookies
- 12 oz white candy melts
- Red heart sprinkles (or any Valentine’s-themed sprinkles)
Instructions
- Step 1: Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper to hold the dipped Oreos as they cool.
- Step 2: Melt the white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring between each round until smooth.
- Step 3: Use a fork to dip each Oreo into the melted candy, letting excess drip off before placing it on the prepared baking sheet.
- Step 4: While the coating is still wet, generously add the red heart sprinkles.
- Step 5: Let the Oreos sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes, or chill them in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes until the coating hardens.

Tips & Variations

- Gently tap the fork on the bowl’s edge to remove excess coating before placing the Oreos down for less mess.

FAQs
Can I use regular white chocolate instead of candy melts?
Regular white chocolate can be used but may not melt as smoothly or harden as well as candy melts. Candy melts are specifically designed for dipping and create a firm, glossy finish.
How do I prevent the white chocolate from seizing?
Heat the white chocolate in short intervals and stir frequently. Avoid introducing any moisture, as even a small amount can cause the chocolate to seize and become grainy.
