⭐️ Why This Recipe Works
- Fun for Kids: Kids will love helping with this recipe, and sprinkling on the sugars and festive sprinkles can be a fun task for them!

🧾 Ingredients Needed
I’ve highlighted a couple of ingredients with some relevant notes. Aside from this, the ingredients needed are pretty basic.
- Oil-Based Candy Color – Use only oil-based candy coloring for chocolate. Gel color or food coloring may be uneven and leave streaks. Here is oil-based color that you can use!
- Sprinkles – If you need sprinkles like you see in the images here, you can get the following with the provided links:
– heart sprinkles for bunny nose
– black nonpareils for eyes, orange jimmies for the chick feet, and orange circular sprinkles for the chick nose. If in stock, these Halloween sprinkles are perfect because they have everything you need. However, if they’re out of stock, you can buy them separately: get the sprinkles for eyes and chick feet, and orange circles for chick nose (and use the other colors for other spring desserts like Easter Bark!)
– For sprinkles for the Easter egg cookies, these spring sprinkles are a perfect fit!
📖 Substitutions
Sometimes you may find that you need to substitute some items for a recipe, or that you want to change some things out. Here are some suggestions that you may find helpful if you need to change anything:
- Belgian Chocolate – Substitute colored candy melts for the Belgian chocolate if you wish. You may even be able to use white almond bark or white chocolate chips too if you’re comfortable with those, although we did not test those with this recipe.
- Cookies – You can also use Golden Oreos instead of original Oreos too if you like those better!

🐰 How to Make Bunny Oreos
STEP 1. Melt 1⁄2 cup white chocolate in a small deep microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments and stir until smooth.
STEP 2. Mix in the white candy color until the desired shade is reached.
Tip: Overheating the chocolate. Do not overheat your chocolate. The 20-second increments are perfect for safely heating in the microwave.
STEP 3. Dip an Oreo cookie, using a fork, until it is covered, and allow the excess drip back into the bowl. Place the dipped Oreo on a wax paper-lined plate or cookie sheet (Images 1 & 2).
STEP 4. While the chocolate is still wet, add 2 small, black sprinkles for the eyes and a pink heart sprinkle for the nose (Image 3).
STEP 5. Place a tablespoon of the melted white chocolate into a piping bag and pipe 2 ears and 2 bunny paws on the wax paper (Image 4). Sprinkle them with pink sanding sugar. Place the plate in the freezer for 10 minutes to set (Image 5).
STEP 6. Once set, remove the ears and feet from the wax paper and attach them to the bunny Oreo, using small dollops of melted chocolate (Image 6).
Allow to set until ears and feet are secure.
🐥 How to Make Easter Chicks Cookie
STEP 1. Melt 1⁄2 cup white chocolate in a small deep microwave-safe bowl, in 20-second increments, and stir until smooth.
STEP 2. Mix in yellow candy color until the desired shade is reached.
STEP 3. Dip an Oreo cookie into the yellow melted chocolate, using a fork, until it is covered, and allow the excess to drip back into the bowl. Place the dipped Oreo on a wax paper-lined plate (Images 7 & 8).
STEP 4. While the chocolate is still wet add 2 black nonpareil sprinkles for the eyes and an orange round sprinkle for the nose (Image above).
STEP 5. Next, carefully add 3 orange Jimmie sprinkles to form each of the chick’s feet (Image above).
Allow to set until chocolate has hardened.
🥚 How to Make Easter Egg Cookies
STEP 1. In 2 small deep microwave-safe bowls, melt 1⁄2 cup (each) of white chocolate in 20-second increments and stir until smooth.
STEP 2. Mix in the pink color in one bowl and the blue in the other until the desired shade is reached.
STEP 3. Using a fork dip an Oreo cookie until it is covered in the pink chocolate and allow the excess to drip back into the bowl. Place the dipped Oreo on a wax paper-lined plate. Continue with another Oreo and the blue chocolate. (You will have 2 Oreos of each color.)
Place the plate in the freezer for 10 minutes to set (Image 9).
STEP 4. Place a tablespoon of the melted pink chocolate into a piping bag. Once the Oreos are set, pipe a zig-zag pattern and cover it with sprinkles while it is still wet.
Then pipe a line across, cover in sprinkles and then repeat the zig-zag pattern at the bottom of the Oreo to complete the design and then cover in sprinkles.
Repeat with the remaining Oreos, remembering to garnish the piping with sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet.
Allow to set until the chocolate has hardened.
💭 Recipe Pro Tips
- Using Tweezers. When decorating cookies you can use tweezers to add the sprinkles. Be sure not to clamp the sprinkles too hard or they can easily break.
- Fragile for Gifting. The Bunny ears can be very delicate, so if you are packaging these chocolate Oreos for gifting in a gift box, be sure that they are fully set and packed in a single layer to avoid smudging. If one breaks, you can “glue” them back together with more melted chocolate and cover the seam with more sanding sugar. Chill in the refrigerator for a few moments to set.
📋 Recipe FAQs
Yes! As long as they’re made as instructed, and no cream cheese or other perishable ingredients have been added.
Store Oreos at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Oreos, Golden Oreos, and even Ritz cracker peanut butter sandwiches are delicious when covered in milk chocolate.
