Pour the melted pink candy from the small bowl into a decorating bag and tie it off.

If you don’t have a decorating bag handy, you can use a resealable bag and twist it so that the melted candy is all the way in one corner. This is a great way to create a small piping bag.

What If I Can’t Find Pink Or White Candy Melts?

You should be able to find candy melts in different colors at your local Target, Walmart, or on Amazon, but if you don’t have access to them, be creative.

If you can find red and pink candy melts, use one as the base and the other for the design – or try adding some food coloring. If you try to keep within the Valentine’s Day colors theme, they’ll turn out great.

Is It Bad Luck To Open Two Fortune Cookies?

They say that you should choose your own fortune cookie for the best luck (not have one handed to you), but you can have more than one fortune cookie. Especially these Valentine’s Day decorated ones!

Knowing a little more about your fortune cookie future won’t hurt you and having two message strips may tell you more about what’s to come!
