Ladybug Chocolate Covered Oreos
An easy no-bake treat that's perfect anytime of year. These chocolate covered ladybug Oreos make great gifts.
Equipment
- Microwave safe bowl
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Cake Pop Stick
Ingredients
- 18 Oreo cookies
- 10 ounces milk chocolate melts
- 10 ounces white chocolate melts
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Edible eyes
- Red food coloring
Instructions
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk chocolate melts and vegetable oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Dip 12 Oreo cookies into the melted milk chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Gently tap off any excess chocolate, then transfer to one of the prepared baking sheets. Place the baking sheet in the fridge for about 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
- Carefully separate the remaining Oreo cookies and scrape off the filling. Cut each chocolate wafer in half, ensuring you don't break them.
- Heat the white chocolate melts in a microwave-safe bowl, again using 30-second intervals and stirring in between. Once melted, add red food coloring, a little at a time, until the desired red color is achieved.
- Dip the Oreo halves into the red-colored white chocolate, ensuring both sides are fully covered. Place the halves on the second prepared baking sheet and transfer to the freezer for 10-15 minutes to harden.
- Once the red wings have hardened, dip the bottom side of them into the remaining milk chocolate to create a thin coating. Immediately place each red wing onto a full milk chocolate-covered Oreo to form the ladybug's wings.
- Dip the edible eyes in the remaining milk chocolate and place two eyes on the front of each cookie, near the top.
- Use a small, rounded tool (like a cake pop stick) to dip into the remaining melted milk chocolate and create small dots along the red wings to complete the ladybug look.
- Allow the chocolate to fully harden on the cookies, about 10 minutes in the fridge, before serving.
Notes
- Make sure the Oreo halves are carefully separated to avoid cracking.
- The vegetable oil will help the chocolate melt more evenly and create a smoother finish.
