Ingredients
- 20 Oreo cookies
- 12 oz white almond bark
- 3 oz green candy melts
- Green jimmie sprinkles to resemble grass
- Assorted Easter sprinkles e.g., pastel shapes, eggs, bunnies, etc.
- Mini chocolate eggs or small candy decorations for topping optional
Instructions
- Prepare Your Work Area: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Melt the Almond Bark In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the almond bark for 1 minute at 100% power. Stir the chocolate, if needed reheat for 30 second intervals until smooth.
- Dip the Oreos: Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully submerge each Oreo into the melted candy coating. Tap the fork gently on the side of the bowl to remove excess coating. Place the dipped Oreo on the prepared baking sheet.
- Melt the Green Candy Melts: In a microwave- safe bowl, melt the candy melts at 50% power for 1 minute, continue to reheat at 30 second intervals (at half power) until smooth.
- Pipe on Green Drizzle: Pour the melted candy melts into a piping bag, cut a small tip off the end, and drizzle it back and forth over the top of the cookie.
- Decorate with Sprinkles: Immediately sprinkle green jimmies on top to resemble grass. Add additional Easter-themed sprinkles as desired.
- Optional Toppings: If using mini chocolate eggs or candy decorations, press them gently onto the coated Oreo while the coating is still wet.
- Let Them Set: Allow the coated Oreos to set completely at room temperature, or place them in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to speed up the process.
- Serve or Store: Once set, serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

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.
