Easy Valentine Treats for the Kids

The kids really love decorating with sprinkles. At least I know my kids did and now my two oldest granddaughters love to go to town with a
bottle of sprinkles.

Chocolate Dipped Wafer Cookies Supplies

Wafer cookies: You can buy white, chocolate or pink wafer cookies at Walmart.

All you need is one or two packages of wafer cookies. Over the years I have used vanilla and strawberry wafer cookies. They are also available in chocolate but they were out the day I was shopping.

Chocolate coating: A bag of Candy Melts, chocolate chips or white chocolate melting wafers.

Sprinkles: You can dip and decorate one package of wafer cookies with one bottle of sprinkles. I like to make a combination of dipped wafer cookies with a different assortment of sprinkles.

Parchment Paper: To line the cookie sheets so the melted chocolate will not stick.

One or two large cookie sheets: This will depend on how many dipped wafer cookies you will make. Two large cookie sheets will be enough for about 30 – 40 dipped wafer cookies. One package of the wafer cookies I bought has 24 cookies.

How To Make Valentine Chocolate Dipped Wafer Cookies

This Valentine’s Day treat is really an inexpensive Valentine treat to make. It cost me less than $6.50 to make the chocolate-dipped wafer cookies. 

Melt the chocolate in a food-grade plastic container in the microwave. 

Dip the end of each of the wafer cookies into the melted chocolate. Or use a spoon to spread the chocolate on the wafer cookie. 

Place each of the cookies down on a cookie sheet that is lined with a piece of parchment paper.

Shake some Valentine sprinkles over and on top of the melted and soft chocolate.

Repeat until all of the cookies have been dipped in chocolate and covered in sprinkles.

Let the chocolate harden and store in an airtight container or make Valentine’s Day Treat Bags like I have done.

Homemade Valentine Day Treat Bag Toppers

I love to make holiday treats for the kids and then package them up into fun little treat bags. The kids love getting a special holiday-themed treat bag.

I always package my party cake pops, Oreo cookie pops, and chocolate-dipped marshmallows in a cellophane treat bag.

Sometimes I decorate the treat bags with a printable treat bag topper.

But today I was in a hurry as I was updating the photos for these Valentines Day Chocolate Dipped Wafer Cookies.

I ran into the Dollar store to see if I could find some ribbon to tie around the top of the wafer cookie treat bags.

I saw some paper Valentine’s Day gift bags that were two for a $1.00 and I knew I could easily cut the paper gift bags up and use them for treat bag toppers. 

I cut a test treat bag topper and trimmed it to the size I needed for the cellophane treat bag size I was using. I ended up cutting strips of the Valentine’s Day paper bag into 2 1/2 inch x 4 1/2 inch strips.

Easy Treat Bag Supplies

• Paper Valentine’s Day gift bags: I used 2 small paper gift bags and part of a larger paper gift bag.
• Cellophane Treat Bags: I used 4 x 2 x 9.5-inch pleated cellophane treat bags
• Scissor or Paper cutter: To cut the paper gift bag apart and into strips.
• Stapler: To close the cellophane bag and to secure the Valentine’s Dat Treat Bag Topper to the treat bag.

How to assemble Valentine Treat Bags with a Paper Treat Bag Topper

Step 1: Cut the front and back from the paper gift bag. Use a ruler or a paper cutter with a grid to cut out strips of the paper into 2 1/2 by 4 1/2 inch strips. Position the paper before cutting so the pattern runs horizontally. This way the pattern will be in the correct position when you fold the strip over the top of the treat bag. Fold each strip in half along the long end.

Step 2: Put 3 sprinkle decorated chocolate-dipped wafer cookies into each cellophane bag.

Step 3: Fold over the top of the cellophane treat bag towards the back of the bag twice. Staple the bag closed.

Step 4: Take one strip of the paper and place it so the fold is on the edge at the top of the filled treat bag. Center the treat bag topper on the bag edge. On a flat surface press the strip of paper flat. Use the stapler to staple the treat bag topper to the cellophane bag. Continue until you have filled all the treat bags and stapled a treat bag topper to each bag. 

Tips for making chocolate dipped wafer cookies

You can speed it up the time it takes for the melted chocolate to harden by putting them in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes. Remove from the refrigerator immediately and bring to room temperature before storing.

When storing use parchment paper or wax paper between the layers of cookies when storing.

Chocolate dipped cookies can be made for any themed birthday party, celebration or holiday by changing up the colors of chocolate used. Like these Halloween Dipped Wafer Cookies I made.

Wilton Candy Melts come in every color of the rainbow. Sprinkles are available for every holiday.
