Ingredients
 
 

  • 24 Oreo cookies
  • 30 ounces Ghirardelli vanilla melting wafers
  • oil-based food coloring yellow, pink, and blue
  • small black sugar pearl sprinkles
  • small orange heart sprinkles
  • orange jimmies sprinkles
  • 24 yellow M&Ms cut in half
  • nonpareil sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Using a double boiler on low heat, melt 1 cup of Ghirardelli vanilla melting wafers, stirring occasionally until smooth. If you don’t have a double boiler, you can melt the wafers in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second increments, stirring at each interval until smooth.
  • Add a few drops of yellow oil-based food coloring to the melted chocolate and stir until the color is evenly distributed.
  • Using a fork or chocolate dipping tool, dip each Oreo into the yellow-colored chocolate coating until it is completely covered. Tap off any excess chocolate and place the coated Oreo onto the parchment paper covered tray.
  • Repeat with three more Oreos. You will want to work in small batches and work quickly before the chocolate sets.
  • Once you have four Oreos coated in yellow chocolate, start making the chicks by giving them two eyes. Then add an orange heart for the beak by placing it in the center of the cookie below the eyes. Add two orange hearts towards the bottom edge for feet. Add just a few orange jimmies for the hair. And then place one half of yellow M&M’s on both sides for the wings.
  • Repeat with another four Oreos so that you have eight chick-themed oreos.
  • To make the pink Easter egg Oreos, clean the double boiler and then melt another 1 cup of the vanilla melting wafers, stirring occasionally until melted. Add a few drops of pink food coloring and stir it in. Add additional drops as needed until the desired shade is reached.
  • Using a fork or chocolate dipping tool, dip each Oreo into the pink-colored chocolate coating until it is completely covered. Tap off any excess chocolate and place the coated Oreo onto the tray with the chick Oreos. Repeat this process until you have eight pink Oreos.
  • To make blue Easter egg Oreos, repeat steps eight and nine using blue food coloring.
  • Once you have eight pink and eight blue dipped Oreos, place ½ cup of uncolored melting wafers in a microwave-safe piping bag. Twist the bag shut and microwave in 30 second intervals to melt the chocolate. Massage the bag between each interval to ensure even melting.
  • Snip the tip off the bag and drizzle the white melted chocolate over the pink and blue Oreos. Sprinkle with the nonpareils before the drizzle sets.
  • Place the tray in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to allow the coating to fully set.

Notes

Use oil-based food coloring for best results, as regular food coloring may cause the chocolate to seize up.
