Ingredients

  • 18 to 20 Oreo cookies
  • 10 oz milk chocolate melts
  • 10 oz white chocolate melts
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • Red food coloring
  • Edible eyes

Instructions

  • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt your milk chocolate melts with the vegetable oil. Go slow—30 seconds at a time, stirring in between—until it’s nice and smooth.
  • Dip 12 Oreo cookies into the melted milk chocolate, coat them completely, then gently tap off the excess.
  • Place them on one of your prepared baking sheets and pop them in the fridge to set for about 10 minutes.
  • Carefully separate the remaining Oreo cookies and cut each side in half—these will become your ladybug wings! It helps to go slow and use a gentle sawing motion with a sharp knife.
  • Melt the white chocolate the same way as before. Once it’s smooth, add red food coloring a little at a time until you get a nice bright red.
  • Dip your Oreo halves into the red chocolate, covering both sides, and place them on the second baking sheet. Freeze for 10–15 minutes until they’re set.
  • Once the red wings are hardened, dip the flat side in milk chocolate and attach them to the tops of your milk chocolate-covered cookies.
  • Dip your edible eyes in a tiny bit of melted chocolate and stick them on near the top.
  • Use a cake pop stick (or the end of a spoon or skewer) to dot on the signature ladybug spots using the remaining milk chocolate.
  • Pop the finished cookies back in the fridge for another 10 minutes to fully set.
