How to Make Valentine Sugar Wafer Cookies
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
2. Melt the candy melts in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until the candy is smooth and fully melted.
3. Dip each sugar wafer about one-third to one-half of the way into the melted candy, then place it on the prepared parchment paper.
4. Immediately sprinkle with your favorite Valentine’s Day-themed sprinkles so they adhere while the candy is still soft.
5. Chill the tray in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes to set the coating.
6. Serve and enjoy!
Helpful Tips
- Work quickly when dipping and adding sprinkles. Once the candy hardens, the sprinkles won’t stick well.
- If the candy starts to thicken while you dip, gently reheat it in short intervals and stir until smooth again.
- Use a spoon or fork to help control the dip depth and prevent excess candy from pooling on the parchment.
