Ingredients
  

  • 1 packet fudge-covered Oreos 12-count
  • 1 (10 ounce) bag of red candy melts
  • 1/4 cup small heart-shaped sprinkles
  • 3 tablespoons dark chocolate candy melts
  • 24 candy eyeballs

Instructions
 

  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
  • Melt the red candy melts according to the package directions.
  • Dip the Oreos in the candy melts until 3/4 of the cookie is covered.
  • Place the cookie on the prepared baking sheet. Immediately add the heart sprinkles to the red candy melts leaving a space in the middle to pipe on the wings. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
  • Melt the dark chocolate candy melts according to the package direction and add them to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip.
  • Pipe a line across the ladybug where the red candy melts and the Fudge of the cookie meet. Pipe a second line down the middle of the red part of the cookie to create the wings.
  • Add a dab of the dark chocolate to two candy eyeballs and attach them to the fudge exposed cookie to finish the love bug. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
  • Allow the candy melts to set completely before enjoying.

Notes

  • Store your Love Bug Oreos in an airtight container at room temperature, in a cool and dry place for up to two weeks. Ensure they are in a single layer or separated by parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • I do not recommend freezing the cookies to avoid candy eyeball bleed.
