Instructions
Easter Bunny Tutorial
Melt 1⁄2 cup white chocolate in a small deep microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments and stir until smooth.
Mix in the white candy color until the desired shade is reached.
Dip an Oreo cookie, 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 or cookie sheet.
While the chocolate is still wet, add 2 small, black sprinkles for the eyes and a pink heart sprinkle for the nose.
Place a tablespoon of the melted white chocolate into a piping bag and pipe 2 ears and 2 bunny paws on the wax paper. Sprinkle them with pink sanding sugar. Place the plate in the freezer for 10 minutes to set.
Once set, remove the ears and feet from the wax paper and attach them to the bunny Oreo, using small dollops of melted chocolate.
Allow to set.

Mix in yellow candy color until the desired shade is reached.
Dip an Oreo cookie in to 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.
While the chocolate is still wet add 2 black nonpareil sprinkles for the eyes and an orange round sprinkle for the nose.
Next, carefully add 3 orange Jimmie sprinkles to form each of the chick's feet.

Easter Egg Tutorial
In 2 small deep microwave-safe bowls, melt 1⁄2 cup (each) of white chocolate in 20-second increments and stir until smooth.
Mix in the pink candy color in one bowl and the blue in the other until the desired shade is reached.
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.
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, and 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.
Notes
Tips:
Overheating the chocolate. Do not overheat your chocolate. The 20-second increments are perfect for safely heating in the microwave.
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.
How to Store Easter Oreos:Once the chocolate has "set" the Oreos can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
