Ingredients
  

Candy Coating and Toppings
  • 10 ounces Light green candy melts For the main coating.
  • 24 pieces Red heart sprinkles For decoration.
  • 1 tablespoon Dark green sanding sugar Optional for an extra festive touch.
Cookies
  • 12.2 ounces Red Velvet Oreos For a colorful and flavorful base.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
  2. Measure out the candy melts and reserve ½ cup of light green candy melts for drizzling later.
Melting Candy
  1. Melt the remaining light green candy melts using a double boiler or microwave until fully smooth.
Dipping Cookies
  1. Use a fork to dip each Red Velvet Oreo into the melted candy, allowing excess to drip off.
  2. Place the dipped cookies onto the prepared trays, ensuring they are spaced apart.
Drizzling and Decorating
  1. Melt the reserved candy melts for drizzling and pour them into a piping bag.
  2. Drizzle the melted candy over the dipped Oreos and immediately add a red heart sprinkle to each.
  3. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of dark green sanding sugar around each heart.
Setting
  1. Let the cookies set at room temperature until the coating is completely hard.

Notes

Store cookies in the fridge for up to 7 days. For longer storage, flash freeze and then store for up to 3 months. Omit sanding sugar until right before serving if making ahead.
