Ingredients Method Notes

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

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. Prepare the Wafers – Lay out the sugar wafer cookies on a wire rack over a parchment-lined baking sheet for easy cleanup.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Add the Beak – Place two round orange sprinkles below the eyes to form the chick’s beak.
  6. 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! 🐥
