Personalize each cookie with fortunes that are funny, heartfelt, or inspiring to make them extra special for your family and friends.

This dessert is so easy to make because you don’t actually have to cook the fortune cookies; you buy them ready-made and then dip them in chocolate and sprinkles for a festive and elegant look.
By the way, if you would prefer to make the fortune cookies yourself, this fortune cookies recipe from Fifteen Spatulas is a fairly easy one to prepare.
Also, if you’re not looking specifically for a New Year’s theme, you can choose any two colors you like for the candy melts: red and green for Christmas fortune cookies, or the color combinations that would match various the four “houses” for a Harry Potter-themed activity, etc.
Ingredients for New Year’s Eve Fortune Cookies Recipe
- 2 boxes of fortune cookies (I used La Choy Fortune Cookies)
- 1 12-oz bag of black candy melts
- 1 12-oz bag of white candy melts
- Gold sprinkles
- Silver sprinkles
- White sprinkles
How to Make New Year’s Eve Fortune Cookies
1. Remove fortune cookies from the box. Unwrap if necessary, and then set aside.
2. Place black candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and melt according to the directions on the bag. Once black candies are melted, melt the white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl following the directions on the bag.
3. One at a time, dip a fortune cookie into one of the colored melted candy, allowing the excess to drip off. While the candy is still wet, sprinkle it with your desired sprinkle color. Dip half of the fortune cookies in black candy melts and half of the fortune cookies in white candy melts.
4. Place on a parchment-lined cooling rack or cookie sheet and allow the candy melts to set for about 30 minutes.
