These Easter Oreo Chicks are so simple to make and look super cute. No baking required, they are the perfect treat to make with children or when you're short of ingredients and only have the basics at hand.
Scroll to the bottom for the recipe.
I've been a bit behind on my blogging - in fact, I've been completely absent from the online world since Tuesday, enjoying a mini break. On Wednesday I spent a fantastic day at the beach with a really good friend which ended in copious amounts of white wine, lots of girly giggling and a very sunburnt face.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday were spent high up a mountain in a pine forest on a camping trip. The weather took a turn for the worst and was really unusual for this time of year - it rained almost the whole time we were there and the temperature was so cold I ended up wearing all the clothes I'd taken for the three days, plus everything I could steal from my Official Treat Taster resulting in wearing about seven layers of clothing.
Fortunately, we'd taken packets upon packets of marshmallows - along with a couple of bottles of sangria - with us so we spent a good few hours just sat by the BBQ toasting and somewhat burning them.
When we were out exploring a corner of the island we'd never visited, I stumbled upon a shop that had a set of adorable mini Easter cookie cutters and I snapped them up. But that's enough of my rambling - back to the Easter Oreo Chicks!
Ingredients
Mini Oreos
White chocolate
Yellow food colouring
Icing pens
Recipe
1. Melt the white chocolate in 25-second intervals in the microwave.
2. Gradually add drops of yellow food colouring to the white chocolate until you get the Easter-chick-yellow you're looking for.
3. Dip each mini Oreo into the white chocolate and leave to one side to set. If one coating of chocolate isn't enough to fully cover the Oreos, re-dip them once the first layer has set.
4. Draw eyes, a beak, two wings and two little feet on each of the Easter Oreo Chicks.
But wait - there's more!
When I was away, I got so many kind comments - thanks to all of you - and also received a couple awards and features!
Kit from I-Lost in Austen kindly presented me with the Liebster Award and Amy from One Artsy Mama featured me in her Top Ten Thursday.
Thanks so much to both of you.
Happy Easter, everyone!
