Introduction
These Bee Mine Oreo Cookies are a fun and adorable treat perfect for sharing with loved ones. Each cookie is dipped in creamy white candy coating and decorated with a cute fondant bee and heart accents. They’re as delightful to look at as they are to eat!
Ingredients
- 1 (12 oz.) package white candy coating
- 12 Oreo cookies
- Yellow fondant
- Black edible food coloring marker
- Red heart sprinkles
- White heart sprinkles
Instructions
- Step 1: Melt the white candy coating in the microwave following the package instructions until smooth and pourable.
- Step 2: Pour the melted coating into a deep container. Dip each Oreo cookie completely into the coating, ensuring it is fully submerged.
- Step 3: Lift the cookie out using a fork and gently tap it against the container to remove any excess coating.
- Step 4: Carefully slide the coated cookie onto parchment paper to set.
- Step 5: Roll yellow fondant into 12 oval-shaped balls, about 1/2 inch in size, to form the bees’ bodies.
- Step 6: Using the black edible food coloring marker, draw stripes and two dots for eyes on each fondant bee.
- Step 7: Attach two white heart sprinkles to each bee to serve as wings, using a toothpick dipped in melted white candy coating to stick them in place.
- Step 8: Secure each fondant bee on top of the coated cookies with a small amount of melted white candy coating.
- Step 9: Attach a red heart sprinkle on the opposite side of the bee on each cookie, again using melted white candy coating.
- Step 10: Allow all decorations to dry completely. Once dry, use the black edible marker to draw dashed lines from the bee to the red heart, mimicking a flight path.
Tips & Variations
- For easier handling, chill the dipped Oreos in the refrigerator for a few minutes before decorating.
- You can substitute yellow fondant with yellow modeling chocolate or colored white chocolate.
- If you don’t have an edible marker, use a fine paintbrush and black food coloring gel to create stripes and eyes.
- Try using different colored heart sprinkles to customize for various occasions.
Storage
Store the decorated cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Avoid refrigerating as moisture can cause the candy coating to become sticky. If needed, reheat gently in a warm, dry place to restore crispness.

FAQs
Can I use other types of cookies besides Oreos?
Yes, any sandwich cookie with a similar shape and size will work well for dipping and decorating.

Make sure the melted candy coating is poured at the right temperature—not too hot or cold—and avoid thick layers on the cookies. Tap off excess coating and allow to set on parchment paper for best results.
