Lovebug Oreo Instructions:

Prep and Melt: Gather your ingredients and follow the instructions on the candy melts package to melt the white and pink candy melts. Setting up a double boiler or using the microwave, ensure the candies are smooth and ready for dipping.

Dip and Decorate: One at a time, dip the birthday cake Oreos into the melted candy melts, alternating between white and pink for a lovely mix.

Place the coated Oreos on wax paper, ready for the next step.

Sprinkle Magic: While the candy coating is still wet, let your little ones add a touch of magic by sprinkling pink, red, and white sprinkles over the Lovebug Oreos. This step adds a burst of color and sweetness to each love-filled treat.

Eyes on Love: Using the black writing gel, add two small dots on the non-candy-coated side of each Oreo. This will serve as the perfect spot for the edible candy eyes to bring these Lovebugs to life.

Let your kids get creative with the eye placement for extra personality!

Set and Enjoy: Allow the Lovebug Oreos to set for about 5 minutes, giving the candies enough time to firm up. Once set, these sweet treats are ready to steal the hearts of anyone who lays eyes on them!
