Equipment

Ingredients

  • 16 Oreo cookies
  • 1 (9 ounce) bag mini milk chocolate eggs
  • 1 (10 ounce) bag dark chocolate melting wafers
  • ¼ cup chocolate sprinkles

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Heat the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  • Place a cookie in the melted chocolate and flip it with a fork to coat completely. Tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
  • Transfer the cookie to the prepared baking sheet. Immediately sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles and gently press 2 to 3 mini eggs on top.
  • Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 5 minutes or at room temperature for 30 minutes until the chocolate is hardened.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Use a double boiler or microwave in short bursts: Melt the chocolate slowly to avoid burning. If using a microwave, heat in 15–20 second intervals, stirring in between.
Add a little shortening or coconut oil: This helps thin the chocolate for smoother dipping and creates a shinier finish.
Keep water away from your chocolate: Even a small drop of water can cause the chocolate to seize and become grainy.
Use a fork or dipping tool: It makes it easier to lift the cookie out cleanly and let excess chocolate drip off.
Work quickly after dipping: Add the candy eggs while the chocolate is still wet so they stick properly.
Line your tray with parchment or wax paper: This keeps the cookies from sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
Chill to set faster: Pop the tray into the fridge for 10–15 minutes to help the chocolate harden quickly.
