Chocolate Teddy Bear Bites Cookies

While searching Pinterest for a fun Valentine’s Day snacks to make with my boys, I found Katie at SoDressedUpLifeandStyle and her post on Valentine’s Day Teddy Treats.

She uses conversation hearts to make her teddy treats! It was such a neat idea, but chalky conversation hearts are not my boys’ favorite Valentine’s candy. So with a little brainstorming, the idea to use chocolate was born.

Let’s just say that using the chocolates instead of the hearts was a definite win for this mama! Not only do my boys enjoy these treats, but they are a hit at their school parties too.

Chocolate Teddy Bear Bites Recipe

These Chocolate Teddy Bear Bites are super easy to make.

You only need a few ingredients and the steps to make them are super easy.

Let’s just say even my preschooler is a big helper when we are making a batch of these!

Ingredients for Chocolate Teddy Bear Bites

You only need a few ingredients to make your Chocolate Teddy Bear Bites.

You are going to need your base cookie, which is, of course, made adorable by using teddy bears.

We used these Honey Teddy Grahams and the Valentine’s Day M&M’s.

If you can’t find a Valentine’s bag, you could always pick out the red ones from a regular M&M’s bag in a pinch.

The only other thing you will need is the icing. I recommend a sugar-cookie icing because it dries quickly and very hard.

If you use this icing, you should be able to place all the Chocolate Teddy Bear Bites in a container and have none of the chocolate pieces fall off.

See the icing recipe I use below.

Icing Recipe for Bites

This icing recipe is as classic as they come. All you need to make it is powdered sugar and milk.

Here are the simple steps to make your icing:

First, add 1 tbsp of milk in to 1 cup of powdered sugar. Yep… that’s it.

Now, stir the mixture well until you have a thick icing, it shouldn’t easily drip off the spoon. Add more powdered sugar if needed to reach this consistency.

TIP – it won’t seem like you have enough milk added in the beginning, but DO NOT add more milk right away. This type of icing takes very little milk to change the consistency of the final product.

Making the Chocolate Teddy Bear Bites

First, it’s best if you place all of your teddy bear cookies tummy side up. Set these aside and start working on your icing.

Once you have a thick icing, drop it into a decorating bag. Or you can use a storage bag, like a ziplock, and simply cut a tiny piece of the corner off the bag.

Now, you will simply squeeze a small drop of icing onto the tummy of the bear. Finally, you will place your chocolate onto the icing.

You will need to let the Chocolate Teddy Bears Bites sit for at least an hour to make sure the icing has hardened and the chocolate is firmly attached.

That’s it! You have just made a yummy Valentine’s Day Snack that is sure to be a hit with the kids. But what if you want to take it just one tiny step further?

Keep reading to see how you can personalize your teddy bear bites.

Personalizing your Teddy Bear Bites

---

If you have a little extra time and want to personalize your Teddy Bear Bites, try using Food Writer Edible Markers.

I highly suggest using a fine-tip edible marker since the chocolates are so tiny. You could get by with a broad tip, but your options for what to draw might be smaller.

So what can you write to personalize your Valentine’s Day snacks? Well, if you can make it fit you can write anything!

Here are a few ideas that we have done that seem to fit well in the space the M&M’s allow.

Hearts

Flowers

Emojis

Arrows

“I Love You” 

Your Child or significant other’s name or initials

Truly, you can personalize these any way you wish. I’d love it if you had a fun idea that you would drop it in the comments!
