Ingredients
(full instructions in the printable recipe below )
- yellow chocolate melts – 1 package – Wilton preferred
- orange chocolate melts – 1 package – (you won’t use all of them)
- orange “Jimmies” sprinkles – 1 package
- Candy Eyeballs
- One package of Cookies like Oreo Cookies
Extra Equipment for Easter Chick Treats…
- medium glass microwave-proof bowl
- fork
- toothpicks
- wax paper
- silicone spatula
How to Make Easter Chick Cookies
- Grab between 6 & 10 orange chocolate melts and cut them into eighths
- Melt your chocolate melts in the glass bowl. I like to melt it in the microwave for 1 minute, stir it, and heat it for another 30 seconds. Stir until smooth
- Pour out your Jimmies onto your work surface, and have your eyes ready to go
- Begin dipping your cookies into the melted chocolate
- push them down with your fork and turn them over
- use the fork to lift the cookie to the side of the bowl
- rest it at the rim of the bowl and tap the fork to release excess chocolate from the cookie
- slide the cookie onto the wax paper and begin to decorate it
- *use a toothpick to help push the cookie off of the fork
- Add eyes and one piece of your sliced orange chocolate
- *NOW – in order to get the cutest beaks, I learned that the curved part of the orange chocolate melt (the top) should face the cookie with the flat (bottom) of the orange beak facing out
- when your yellow cookies have dried just a smidge, you can add the Jimmies for the feet
- I used 2 Jimmies per foot in a V pattern
- Just carefully (because they are very fragile) place them on the bottom of the cookie facing out in a V pattern.
- Again, use your toothpick as an aide if necessary.
Storing
- These cute chicks should be kept at room temperature for several days
- you can place them in an airtight container and store them for a couple of weeks before your celebration
- As long as you don’t have to worry about little hands or animals sneaking them, you can leave them out on a platter for a couple of days without worry

Hi,
How do you cut the candy melts evenly?
I used a sharp knife. I lined it up going across the center of the melt and pushed down until it split apart, and then did the same going the other way. Then, using the same method, I split the triangles in half. None of them were even, but that just adds to the character of the little chicks. Each are unique and a little quirky. 🙂
