I whipped up these treats while M was at preschool today. Not only are they cheap, quick, and easy to make, but I’m pretty sure they will be enjoyed MUCH more by his classmates than those generic, store bought valentines that get looked at once and then chucked into the recycle bin the next day.
Supplies:
- Oreo Cookies (I bought one original and one golden for some added contrast)
- White Baker’s Chocolate (or you could use pink meltable chocolates)
- Red food colouring
- Valentine sprinkles (tiny heart shaped sprinkles and red sugar crystals)
- Snack sized zipper bags
- Parchment paper and cookie sheet
- Valentine’s Day topper – Bag topper printable (you’re welcome 🙂 )
First I melted the Baker’s chocolate in the microwave at short intervals at a time, making sure to stir it often, to prevent burning. Then I added a few drops of red food colouring to the white chocolate and mixed it until I had reached my desired shade of pink. Pretty easy so far, right? I dipped the Oreos into the melted pink chocolate, about half-way,and rested them on a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper. Before the chocolate hardened, I shook on my sprinkles; then I popped the cookie sheets into the freezer for a few minutes to help the chocolate firm up, so I could easily transfer them off of the parchment paper and into the snack bags.
Check out how yummy these look!
I placed one gold and one original Oreo into each snack bag, and stapled on the bag topper. Click the link for your free printable: Valentine’s Day topper.

For M’s teacher and classroom T.A’s I put some of the Valentine Oreos into cute heart bags I found at Dollaramma, along with some conversation heart cookies we made yesterday, some Hershey Kisses, and some candy hearts. Then I made a quick gift tag out of pink hued paint chips and tied it all together with a pink ribbon.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
