Description
These Chirpy Chick Wafer Cookies are a fun, no-bake Easter treat! Crunchy sugar wafers are coated in smooth yellow candy melts and decorated with candy eyes, sprinkles, and a beak to create the cutest edible chicks. Perfect for kids’ parties or festive spring celebrations!
Ingredients
- 1 package sugar wafer cookies (any flavor)
- 1 cup yellow candy melts
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 60 candy eyeballs
- 60 round orange sprinkles (for the beak)
- 60 orange flower-shaped sprinkles (for the feet)
- 60 yellow leaf-shaped sprinkles (for the hair)
Instructions
- Melt the Candy Coating – In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the yellow candy melts with coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Prepare the Wafers – Lay out the sugar wafer cookies on a wire rack over a parchment-lined baking sheet for easy cleanup.
- Coat the Cookies – Transfer the melted candy to a piping bag or use a spoon to drizzle it over the top two-thirds of each wafer. Let the excess drip off.
- Decorate the Chicks – Quickly place two candy eyeballs near the top, two orange flower-shaped sprinkles at the bottom for feet, and two yellow leaf sprinkles above the eyes for hair.
- Add the Beak – Place two round orange sprinkles below the eyes to form the chick’s beak.
- Let Them Set – Allow the decorated cookies to set for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- If the candy melts start to harden while decorating, reheat them in 10-second bursts.
- You can swap coconut oil for vegetable shortening if needed.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
These sweet, crunchy, and colorful chick cookies will bring smiles to any Easter gathering! 🐥
