Chocolate-covered Oreos with brightly colored nonpareils mixed throughout the chocolate and fruit icing decorations on top!
There’s nothing better than sprinkle-filled chocolate-covered Oreos, so I decided to give them a fruit-tastic summer makeover. They’re colorful, crunchy, creamy, and so much fun. I used Lemon Oreos because they remind me of summer, but just about any Oreo flavor works perfectly. The fruit icing decorations on top are the finishing touch and make every Oreo look ready for a sunny summer day.
Flavor Profile
Every bite starts with a creamy shell of white chocolate loaded with crunchy nonpareils. Inside is a crisp Oreo with your choice of flavor, whether that’s bright lemon, buttery Golden Oreos, or even classic chocolate. The fruit candy on top adds a tiny pop of extra sweet crunch.

The Twist

Ingredient Highlights
White melting wafers: Use a quality melting chocolate for a smooth, shiny finish.
Lemon or Golden Oreos: Lemon adds a bright citrus flavor, while Golden Oreos keep things classic.
Tropical nonpareils: These add pops of color and a light crunch throughout the chocolate shell.
Fruit icing decorations: These edible decorations create the fun fruit theme without any decorating skills required.
Melt the white chocolate according to the package directions.
Stir in the tropical nonpareils, starting with 1 tablespoon and adding more until you like the amount of sprinkles throughout the chocolate.
Spoon enough chocolate into each cavity to fill it about halfway.
Gently press one Oreo into each cavity.
Cover the Oreos with the remaining chocolate. Lightly tap the mold on the counter to help the chocolate settle into all the spaces. If needed, gently press the Oreo down with the tip of a knife and add a little more chocolate to completely cover it.
Refrigerate until the chocolate is fully set.
Carefully remove the Oreos from the mold.
Melt a small amount of additional white chocolate and use it as “glue” to attach one fruit icing decoration to the top of each Oreo.
Place each Oreo into a clear favor bag and tie it closed with ribbon.
Arrange the wrapped Oreos inside a summer-themed gift box. Fill the remaining space with your favorite summer snacks or candy for a fun gift.
