Chocolate Covered Oreos are a Fun and Festive Easter Treat
This is not my usual kind of recipe—I’m usually the one bringing roasted vegetables like this cheese baked asparagus with bacon or something green and leafy like this strawberry blueberry spinach salad to the Easter party. I was even debating whether to post it or not. But every now and then, I like to switch things up with something playful and sweet like this carrot cake loaf and Easter cupcakes with chocolate nests and mini eggs. These Easter Chocolate Covered Oreos are the perfect no-bake, ridiculously easy treat that screams spring and makes kids (and grown-ups) very, very happy. And, if you want more chocolate Easter inspiration, check out my Easter fudgy chocolate cake and chocolate hot cross buns.
Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
- Oreo cookies – I used regular oreo cookies. You can also use Oreo golden sandwich cookies. I also love to use gluten-free Oreos or similar GF cookies like Glutino Chocolate Vanilla Creme Cookies.
- White almond bark – Melts smoothly and sets fast. Sub with white candy melts, white baking chocolate, or even white chocolate chips with a tablespoon of coconut oil or shortening mixed in for easier dipping. You can even use my white chocolate covered strawberries recipe as a base.
- Green candy melts – Used for drizzling or piping grass-like detail. If unavailable, use white chocolate or almond bark mixed with a few drops of oil-based green food coloring (avoid water-based coloring—it can seize the chocolate).
- Green jimmie sprinkles – Mimic the look of grass and add texture. Can be swapped with green sanding sugar, green shredded coconut (dyed with food coloring), or any long green sprinkle variety.
- Assorted Easter-themed sprinkles – Adds color and festive design. Use any pastel shapes, nonpareils, confetti sprinkles, or holiday-specific decorations like bunny or egg shapes.
- Mini chocolate eggs or small Easter candy decorations (optional) – Great for topping and creating a “nest” effect. Sub with jelly beans, mini marshmallows, chocolate-covered almonds, or any small candy that fits the Easter theme.
How to Make Chocolate Covered Oreos
- This recipe is incredibly easy and a great way to spend quality time doing something fun with kids, grandparents—or both! I started by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper to make cleanup easier and to prevent the cookies from sticking—wax paper or a silicone baking mat works just as well here.
- Then I melted the almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl: one minute on full power, a good stir, then a couple more 30-second intervals until smooth.
- I dipped each Oreo into the melted coating using a fork, tapped off the excess on the side of the bowl, and set them on the prepared sheet. It helps to work quickly here so the coating doesn’t start to thicken.
- For the green drizzle, I melted green candy melts at 50% power (go slow—this stuff scorches easily) and transferred the smooth mixture into a piping bag. A zip-top bag with the corner snipped off works too.
- I drizzled the green back and forth over each cookie, then immediately sprinkled on green jimmies to create the grassy look.
- Next, I added pastel Easter sprinkles—anything egg-shaped or bunny-themed looks cute. You press them gently onto the coated Oreo while the coating is still wet. You can even add in a few mini chocolate eggs for extra color.
- Let the Oreos set at room temperature or chill in the fridge for 10 minutes to speed up the process.
- If you're making these ahead, they store well at room temp in an airtight container for a few days.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- How do I prevent the melted candy from hardening while I work?
If the melted candy begins to harden, reheat it in 10-15 second intervals in the microwave, stirring well each time. - Can I use white chocolate instead of candy melts? Yes, but candy melts are easier to work with because they don’t require tempering. If using white chocolate, you can add a small amount of coconut oil or shortening to make it smoother.
- How long do these last? Easter chocolate-covered Oreos can last up to 7 days in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid refrigeration, if possible, as it can cause condensation.
- Can I freeze them? Yes, but keep in mind that freezing may affect the texture of the candy coating. If freezing, place them in an airtight container, separating layers with parchment paper.
- What if my candy coating is too thick? You can thin out the candy coating by adding a teaspoon of vegetable oil or coconut oil until you reach the desired consistency.
