This Easter Oreo Recipe Is…

These Easter Oreos are so incredibly fun to make but also delicious. Here are a few reasons to why you might fall in love with the Oreos.

• The Easter egg and baby chicken design are so festive and fun. It gives such a stand out look.
• No baking is required. I love quick and easy no bake desserts.
• You don’t have to be a pro decorator to make these decorated cookies. I share how to simply decorate, and you can use your imagination to create your own looks.
• Any flavor of Oreos can be used for dipping! From a sweet lemon to a peanut butter or mint cookie.

What is Needed For Easter Oreos

Oreo Cookies – You can use any flavor of Oreos for this recipe. From a classic Oreo to a double stuffed or a flavored cookie. From peanut butter, mint, or reach for a holiday flavored Oreo.

Chocolate – I do recommend using quality chocolate for this recipe. I prefer to use Ghirardelli melting wafers, but you can use other types of chocolate. The chocolate is the stand out flavor so if it doesn’t taste good, it will affect the flavor of the cookies.

Food Coloring – You need to buy oil based food coloring. This is going to allow you to color the white chocolate without causing the chocolate to seize up.

Now if you don’t want to buy food coloring you can buy colored candy melts for the recipe for melting that are already pre-colored.

Sprinkles – Pearl black sprinkles will be used for the yes, an orange heart sprinkle for the beak and feet, and then jimmies for the chick’s hair, and sprinkles for decorating the Easter eggs.

Then I cut an M&M in half for the wings. Feel free to change up the types of sprinkles if you find something that is a good substitute.

How To Make

1. Prepare a large baking tray by lining it with parchment paper and keep it aside. Next, using a double boiler on low heat, melt 1 cup of Ghirardelli vanilla melting wafers, occasionally stirring until the mixture becomes smooth. If you prefer, you can also melt the wafers in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring each interval until smooth. Gradually add a few drops of yellow food coloring to the melted wafers and stir it slowly until the color is evenly distributed. Add more food coloring as necessary to achieve the desired shade.
2. Then, place an Oreo cookie on a fork and fully submerge it in the yellow melts.
3. Take it out with the fork and tap off any excess coating.
4. Place the cookie on the lined baking tray and repeat the same process with 3 more Oreos, working quickly before the coating sets.

5. Once you have coated 4 Oreos in yellow melts, start making the chicks by creating two eyes on each cookie. Then, add an orange heart in the center, below the eyes for the beak.
6. Attach two more orange hearts towards the bottom edge of the cookie for the feet, add a few orange jimmies for hair, and place one half of yellow M&M’s on both sides to create wings. Mix the melts in the double boiler and repeat with another 4 Oreos.

7. To make the eggs, clean the double boiler and melt another 1 cup of vanilla melting wafers, occasionally stirring until melted. Add a few drops of pink food coloring and stir until the desired shade is reached. Repeat the same process with purple food coloring to create another color of eggs.
8. Dip 8 Oreo cookies, 4 in each color, into the melted wafers, and tap off the excess coating.
9. Then, place the coated cookies on the prepared baking tray. Microwave ½ cup of vanilla melting wafers in a microwave-safe piping bag in 30-second intervals until it is fully melted.
10. Cut a small piece off the tip of the bag, drizzle the melted wafers onto the pink and purple Oreos, and add nonpareil sprinkles if desired.

Place the baking tray in the refrigerator to let the coating set for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Top Tips For Dipped Oreos

Quality chocolate enhances the flavor but also cheaper chocolate won’t melt as smoothly resulting in a lumpy looking chocolate.

You can not add regular food coloring to chocolate. It needs to be an oil based food coloring, or it will seize the chocolate and ruin it.

Any flavor of cookies work, the key is a sandwich cookie so you can place the fork in the filling for easy dipping.

You do need to work fast as candy melt style chocolate sets up pretty quickly. So make sure that you have all your ingredients set out and ready to decorate with.

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or opt for heating up the chocolate in the microwave.

Allow the cookies to fully set up before you go to store them. Placing wax paper between layers if you stack will help ensure the design of the cookies don’t get messed up.

How do you melt candy melts in the microwave

So if you are looking for a quick and easy way to melt candy melts, here is my go-to for the microwave method if you don’t own a double boiler.

Simply place the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Then place in microwave and heat for 30 seconds.

Remove and stir the chocolate. Repeat the 30 second heat cycles, stirring between each heat cycle. Once the chocolate is melted, you are ready for dipping.

Note: If you overheat the chocolate, it will become super thick and not mix well. It is important to mix between each heat cycle. You can add 1/2 teaspoon of shortening to chocolate to help thin it up if you find it is too thick.

Best Way To Store Chocolate Dipped Cookies

Storage

These dipped cookies can easily be stored in a sealed container at room temperature on the counter. Or you can store in the fridge if you find that your home is too warm and you run the risk of melting the chocolate.

The dipped cookies will store for 1-2 weeks easily. You will find the cookies will go stale when they need to be tossed out.

Freezing

Or to extend the shelf life, go right ahead and freeze any of the cookies. Just place wax paper between the layers of stacking and freeze for up to 6 months. Then thaw on the counter or in the fridge and enjoy.
