Sabrina’s Easter Egg Chocolate Oreos Recipe
These Easter Oreos (you can also call them Spring Oreos because the pastel colors are very springy) have a delicious Lemon flavor added in via some lemon extract – very simple ingredients! Plus, the process is so easy! You’ll just be melting chocolate in a double builder or microwave-safe bowl in the microwave, coating the cookies, and decorating them!
I’m using lemon-flavored Oreos for this recipe but you can feel free to use any flavor you’d like. Every year they come out with so many flavors and they’ve even come out with egg-shaped Oreos! If you find the egg-shaped ones, try coloring different batches of white chocolate for the coating then add white drizzles or decorations for a true Easter Egg look.
Ingredients
- 24 Lemon Flavored Golden Oreos: There’s no need to add yellow food coloring to them because these cookies have a yellow candy color and a zesty lemon flavor and are light in color.
- 16 ounces White Chocolate Melting Disks: The white chocolate disks are made for melting, but you can use regular white chocolate chips if that’s what’s available. You’ll be melting them in a microwave-safe bowl, or double boiler so you can technically use whatever chocolate you’ve got!
- ¼ teaspoon Lemon Extract: Lemon extract adds even more lemon flavor to the white chocolate.
- Pastel Sprinkles: Use sprinkles of your choice to add a festive touch to the Oreos once they’re on the baking sheet covered with wax paper.
How to Make
Time needed: 15 minutes.
- Melt Chocolate
Melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in the microwave in 30-second intervals, or on the stovetop in a double boiler on low heat. Once melted, add in the lemon extract and stir well.
- Coat the Oreos
Using a fork, dip each Oreo into the melted chocolate making sure it’s coated evenly. Let excess chocolate drip off.
- Decorate and Let Chocolate Harden
Place each cookie in a single layer on a tray with parchment paper or wax paper and decorate immediately. You can throw them into the fridge for 5 minutes to harden quickly. Enjoy your Easter Chocolate Oreos when ready!

Nutrition
Can These Be Made Ahead?
These treats are perfect for making ahead because they can be stored at room temperature for about 2-3 weeks in an airtight container. Avoid any warm temperatures, like sunlight from an open window, or the chocolate could melt. If you’re serving them for a party, it’s best not to freeze the chocolate-covered Oreos as the chocolate will form condensation as it defrosts and the sprinkles will bleed. They will still be delicious but they won’t look party ready!
Nutritional Facts
Tips for Making Easter Oreos
- Switching between chocolate chips and chocolate disks for this recipe is not recommended, because the disks will have a much smoother texture. You can use almond bark if you have it which is richer in flavor.
- Use parchment paper to dry the cookies on and prevent them from sticking, and also to layer between the Oreos when stored.
- If you’re not comfortable using the microwave, you can use a double boiler to melt the candy on the stovetop.
- Add a drop of coconut oil to thin out the chocolate, so it’s easier to work with.
- Wrap these peppermint cookies in plastic, then decorate with pastel ribbons, to give away as gifts in Easter baskets!
How to Store
- Store: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for about 2 weeks. Keep them in a cool dry place. You can also store them in the fridge for about 3 weeks if they last that long!
- Freeze: Freezing can be done but is not recommended because condensation will form on the cookies. If you don’t mind that, feel free to go ahead and freeze them for up to 2 months.
Topping and Decoration Ideas
- Zig-zag white chocolate like my Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers.
- Alternate chocolate coating like my Chocolate Covered Strawberries.
- Sprinkle with Sea Salt like my Chocolate Covered Almonds.
- Alternate Chocolate drizzle like my Chocolate Covered Pretzels.
Chocolate Dipped Oreos On A Stick
You can make Spring Oreo pops using lollipop sticks. Push the lollipop stick halfway through the middle of the cream filling of the cookie, then dip carefully into the melted chocolate letting the excess drip off before placing it onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and decorating with any toppings you have. Try making cake pop sticks with Oreo Balls!
Frequent Questions
Yes, you can use regular milk chocolate or even dark chocolate discs for this recipe.
If you don’t have lemon extract, you can actually use a tablespoon of freshly grated lemon zest in the melted chocolate.
Variations
Some flavor combinations of Oreos you can use:
- Sunrise Oreos: Take these seasonal treats and make them for any time of the year with Vanilla/Golden Oreos and chocolate mixed with Orange Extract.
- Oreo Flavors: You can use other flavors of Oreos like Carrot Cake Oreos or Spring Oreos for a fun variation.
- Extract Flavors: Try Classic Oreos with Strawberry Extract for a bright and flavorful variation.
- Food Coloring: If you want more than just the white candy color, you can also add food coloring to the white chocolate for some different colors. Try doing batches of yellow food coloring, red, and blue!
