Think Valentines Day is all about hearts and flowers? Or chocolate and stuffed animals? Why not chocolate in adorable animal form? Well there you have all the koala-fications for an amazing Valentines Day treat!
These koala bears were very easy and can be made out of items you'll find on a quick trip to the grocery store!
In addition to your cupcakes (we went with chocolate) and frosting, you'll need:
- Mini Oreos
- Chocolate chips
- Chocolate covered almonds
- Black food coloring*
- Chocolate chips
- Chocolate covered almonds
- Black food coloring*
*If you don't have black food coloring, you can use store bought black gel icing or black tube frosting and then mix it in to your prepared frosting to get the perfect koala bear gray.
Once you have your frosting the perfect shade of gray and your materials assembled, you are ready to go! Each cupcake gets one mini Oreo, two chocolate chips, and one chocolate covered almond. Frost each cupcake and then place your Oreo (split into halves) on top for the ears. You can then follow with the chips for eyes and the almond for the nose. You'll need to wait for the frosting to set a bit and then you can cover the Oreo halves in frosting.
And there you have it - an adorable koala bear for your valentine!
