Instructions

For The Chicks

  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment or wax paper and set aside.
  • Melt 1 cup of vanilla melting wafers in a double boiler over low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth. (You can also melt the wafers in the microwave, heating in 30 second increments and stirring after each interval until smooth.)
    30 ounces Ghirardelli vanilla melting wafers
  • Add a few drops of yellow food coloring and stir slowly until the color is evenly distributed. Add more food coloring as needed until you reach the desired shade.
    Oil based food coloring
  • Place an Oreo cookie on a fork and dip it into the chocolate. Be sure that it's submerged fully and that the entire cookie is covered.
    24 Oreo cookies
  • Remove the cookie with the fork and tap off any of the excess coating. Place on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with 3 more Oreos. You'll need to work quickly in small batches before it sets.
  • When you have 4 chocolate covered Oreos, add the black pearls to make the eyes. Then place an orange heart in the center below the eyes to make the beak.
    24 Small black sugar pearl sprinkles , 36 Small orange heart sprinkles
  • Add two orange hearts towards the bottom edge for feet and just a few orange jimmies for the hair. Finally, place M&M halves on both sides for the wings.

  • Stir the melts in the double boiler and then repeat with another 4 Oreos, dipping them in the chocolate and then adding the decorations to make the chicks. Set aside.

For The Oreo Easter Eggs

  • To make the eggs, clean the double boiler and then melt another cup of the vanilla melting wafers, stirring occasionally until smooth.
    30 ounces Ghirardelli vanilla melting wafers
  • Stir in a few drops of pink food coloring. Add additional drops as needed until you reach your desired pink color.
    Oil based food coloring
  • Place an Oreo on a fork and submerge it fully into the pink coating. Remove and tap off any excess coating, then place the cookie on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with 7 more, then set aside.
    24 Oreo cookies
  • Melt 1 cup of the vanilla melting wafers on low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth. Stir in a few drops of purple food coloring until the color is evenly distributed. Add more coloring as needed.

  • Place an Oreo on a fork and submerge it fully into the purple coating. Remove and tap off any of the excess, then place the cookie on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with 7 more, then set aside.
    24 Oreo cookies
  • Place ½ cup of melting wafers (you could also use white chocolate, milk chocolate or dark chocolate) in a microwave safe piping bag. Twist the bag shut and microwave in 20-second increments, massaging the bag after each interval, until the wafers are completely melted.

  • Snip off the tip of the bag and drizzle the white coating onto the pink and purple Oreos in a zig-zag pattern.
  • Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and let the coating set for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • While we used Oreos, you an use any thick, round cookie to make these.
  • Be sure to make the chicks in batches. If you dip them all at once, the chocolate may start to harden and the sprinkles won't stay on.
