Ingredients:
- Reko Vanilla Pizzelle Cookies (about 12 cookies)
- Small slips of paper cut to fit, for personal messages or fortunes
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- Sprinkles, nuts or edible glitter (optional, for decoration)
Directions:
- Write your fortunes or fun messages on small thin strips of paper, set aside.
- Microwave each pizzelle cookie for about 10 seconds to soften them slightly (be cautious not to overheat them), then fold in half, and quickly insert a message paper inside the fold.
- Pinch the two ends together and fold over a rim to complete the classic fortune cookie shape. Place each in a cupcake tin to hold the curved shape.

- In two separate microwave-safe bowls (one each for white and dark chocolate chips), heat each bowl in the microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted (note, if it’s too thick, add a small amount of vegetable oil; and for red color, add oil-based or powdered food coloring).
- Dip ends of each fortune cookie into the melted chocolate, and decorate (optional) as desired with sprinkles or nuts.
- Place the dipped cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet for about 30 minutes to set (harden) at room temperature.
