1 cup white chocolate or candy melts
Edible glitter (gold or your choice of color)
Parchment paper

Instructions
Prep Your Workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate or candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
Dip the Cookies: Hold a fortune cookie by the base and dip the top half into the melted chocolate. Let any excess chocolate drip off.
Add the Glitter: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle edible glitter generously over the dipped area. Shake off any excess glitter.
Dry the Cookies: Place the dipped cookies on the prepared baking sheet and allow them to set for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.
Optional Customization: If adding custom fortunes, gently open the fortune cookie without breaking it, replace the fortune, and carefully press it back into shape before dipping.

Store Properly: Keep the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crunch and freshness.
