How to Make Easter Oreo Cookie Eggs
IMPORTANT: If you are coating some of the eggs with sugar sprinkles, BEFORE the egg is placed on the cookie sheet, hold the egg (on the fork) over another bowl and add the sugar sprinkles. THEN PLACE ON THE PREPARED COOKIE SHEET. Melt accent colors (for drizzle), pour into a small squeeze bottle or piping bag, snip the end of the piping bag and in a back and forth motion add the drizzle. Use one color or multiple! Set aside to harden.
Versatile Treats
- Instead of using vanilla candy, use milk or dark chocolate
- Use a different cookie (EX. peanut butter cookies with melted chocolate for a Reece’s Peanut butter cup)
- Swap the cream cheese frosting for strawberry frosting and use sugar cookies for strawberry shortcake
- Change the colors of the candy melts to suit your color theme
What are Candy Melts?
HOW TO DECORATE THESE EASTER EGGS WITH CANDY MELTS
- Decide on the colors.
- Pour ONE cup of each color into small microwave safe bowls.
- Heat 1 minute on high, stir. If the candy does not become creamy, continue to heat 30 seconds at 60% heat.
- Pour creamy candy melts into small squeeze bottles (usually found in the store with the candy melts) or piping bags.
- In a back and forth motion add the lines.
- IF USING SUGAR SPRINKLES, skip the drizzle and while the candy is soft add the sprinkles.
Not Just for the Dessert Table
- PARTY FAVORS: Why hand out party favors? 1. It’s a great way of saying “Thank You” for coming to my party. 2. A party favor serves as a reminder to your guest of the great time they had.
- EASTER BASKET: Replace some of the store bought goodies with homemade goodies.
- BAKE SALE: As mentioned above these treats are very versatile and can be made in several different ways….perfect for a bake sale.

These are darling! I love the flavored candy melts! Thanks for sharing.
That is pretty creative! Thanks for sharing on Foodie Friday
These are such a cute idea for Easter! I love making holiday specific crafts and recipes so I can’t wait to try these! Have a great weekend!
Love these – they are so cute!
Do these have to be kept in the fridge or can they sit out? I would like to make these but if I did they would be sitting out for a few days.
If you’re planning on these staying out for a couple of days I would substitute vanilla frosting for the cream cheese. Then I think they will be totally fine. I wouldn’t want you to leave these out with cream cheese in them just in case. You can never be too safe.
