Ingredients

Scale

Cookies and Coating

  • 1 (12 oz.) package white candy coating
  • 12 Oreo cookies

Decorations

  • Yellow fondant (enough to roll twelve 1/2 inch oval shaped balls)
  • Black edible food coloring marker
  • Red heart sprinkles
  • White heart sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Melt the Candy Coating: Begin by melting the white candy coating in the microwave as per the package instructions until smooth and fluid.
  2. Dip the Oreos: Pour the melted coating into a deep container. Submerge each Oreo cookie completely in the coating using a fork, then tap the fork against the container to remove any excess coating.
  3. Set the Coated Cookies: Carefully slide each coated cookie onto parchment paper and allow the coating to set until firm.
  4. Create Fondant Bees: Roll yellow fondant into twelve oval-shaped balls approximately 1/2 inch in size to form the bodies of the bees.
  5. Decorate the Bees: Use a black edible food coloring marker to draw bee stripes and two dots for eyes on each fondant bee.
  6. Attach Wings: Use a toothpick dipped in melted white candy coating to affix two white heart sprinkles onto each fondant bee to resemble wings.
  7. Place Bees on Cookies: Using melted white candy coating as glue, attach each fondant bee to the top of a coated cookie.
  8. Add Heart Sprinkles: Also affix a red heart sprinkle on the opposite side of the bee on each cookie with melted white candy coating.
  9. Let Dry Completely: Allow all decorations to dry fully so they are secure.
  10. Draw Bee Lines: Once dry, use the black edible marker to create dashed lines connecting the fondant bee to the red heart, simulating a bee’s flight path.

Notes

  • Ensure the candy coating is smooth and not overheated to avoid clumping.
  • Work quickly when attaching decorations before the coating hardens.
  • If fondant is sticky, dust with a little cornstarch to make it easier to roll.
  • Store finished cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
  • These cookies can be customized with different colored fondant or sprinkles for various occasions.
