Recipe Rundown
A Tradition with a Twist
These chocolate-covered Oreos have been a go-to in my dessert world for years—they’re one of those treats that are always a favorite. I still love hand-dipping them too, but using molds gives them such a clean, polished look and makes decorating super simple.
The Birthday Cake Oreo Surprise
This year, I was beyond excited to find Golden Birthday Cake Oreos—they were brand new and SO delicious! I’m really hoping they stick around, because the flavor is perfect and they made these treats extra Easter-y.
Chocolate Chicks
To add a fun Easter touch, I made little yellow chocolate chicks to go on top of each Oreo. They’re easy to make, and you can even pop them off the cookie and eat them on their own as a little extra treat. Feel free to swap in other seasonal shapes like bunnies, flowers, or carrots—whatever you can find. I’ve picked up some great molds lately at Target and Walmart, and it’s nice how accessible they’ve become.
Perfect for Gifting
Once the Oreos were all set and decorated, I added them to clear cello bags and tied them with Easter-themed ribbon. They turned out so cute and make the perfect favors—whether you’re handing them out in class, adding them to Easter baskets, or passing them out on Easter day.
FAQ
Can I use regular Oreos instead of Birthday Cake Oreos?
Absolutely! Any Oreo flavor will work here—just pick your favorite.
What if I don’t have the exact molds?
No problem! Use any silicone molds you have on hand. You can swap the chick mold for bunnies, flowers, or anything spring-themed.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! These store great in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Just keep them cool so the chocolate stays firm.
Do I need to use Colour Mill food coloring?
Oil-based colors work best for chocolate, and Colour Mill is a great option. But any oil-based food coloring you like should be just fine.
Can I skip the edible glitter spray?
Of course! It just adds a fun sparkle, but the treats are still adorable without it.
Sprinkle of Fun
These sweet little treats are the perfect activity for Easter break! Kids will love mixing the colors, popping the chocolates out of the molds, and placing those cute yellow chicks on top. It’s hands-on, super fun, and ends with a treat they’ll be so proud to share (or eat all by themselves—wink wink). Grab your aprons, turn up some springtime tunes, and turn your kitchen into a chocolatey Easter workshop.
Springtime Chick Chocolate-Covered Oreos
Ingredients
- 2 bags White Ghirardelli Melting Wafers
- Colour Mill Oil-Based Food Coloring:
- Yellow
- Purple
- Mini Chick Silicone Mold (or any cute Easter-themed mold)
- Spinning Leaf Standard Oreo Cookie Chocolate Mold: Available here
- OREO Golden Birthday Cake Creme Sandwich Cookies
- Edible Glitter Spray
Instructions
- Melt ½ bag of the white Ghirardelli melts according to the package directions. Stir in the yellow food coloring until it’s a bright, sunny yellow. Pour into each cavity of the chick mold and tap gently to release any air bubbles. Pop it in the fridge for about 30 minutes to set.
- Melt 1 full bag of white melts, then stir in the purple food coloring. Fill each Oreo mold halfway with the purple chocolate, press in a Golden Birthday Cake Oreo, and cover the top with more chocolate until it’s level with the mold. Tap again to get rid of any bubbles and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
- Once fully set, flip the Oreo mold over onto a cutting board and gently press on the back of each cavity to pop them out. The warmth from your fingers will help if needed. Give each one a light spray of edible glitter—just don’t smudge it while it’s still wet!
- Remove the chicks from their mold. Melt a little extra white chocolate to use as “glue,” then dab a bit on the back of each chick and press it onto the top of each Oreo. Let them sit until the chocolate sets.
- Wrap them in favor bags and tie with cute Easter ribbon, if desired.
