Sharing is caring!

Are you looking for a Christ-centered Easter treat? Something to make with your kids or sell at a school bake sale?  Or maybe a neighbor gift? Today I’m sharing a really easy and fun Christian Easter treat that’s an upgrade on an old favorite!

Christian Easter Treats to Keep the Focus on Jesus

There’s no shortage of Easter treats on Pinterest or Google that are full of bunnies and chicks and Easter eggs. Nothing wrong with that! I even created a post with those kinds of adorable Easter treats myself!

However, it’s really been on my heart lately how we can put the emphasis on Jesus in everything we do. Especially Easter! The greatest day for all humanity and the biggest celebration for Christians.

Today I want to share these chocolate-covered Oreo pops – these are simple to make, and you can definitely bring the kids in to help!

I would say that you should not expect these to look professional (unless you’re really good at this kind of thing)! It’s a fun and yummy activity to help your kids focus on Jesus, or maybe a Christ-centered treat you can share at a bake sale, school Easter party, Sunday School, or even as a neighbor or teacher gift.

Easy Christ-Centered Oreo Pops for Easter

I love this project because you only need a handful of materials, so it’s not costly – and you don’t need a lot of talent. It’s so easy to create.

It’s perfect if you want a kid-friendly activity for your family to do for Easter. Even better if you can share the love with others!

Materials for Oreo Easter Pops

This post contains affiliate links. See Disclosures for more details.

I got all my materials at Walmart. I linked them up in case you want to just add them to your cart!

Almond bark (3 squares for 10 Oreo pops; 4 squares for a dozen +, etc.) 

Double Stuff Oreos (make sure it’s Double Stuff!)

Small tubes of writing icing (not gel!) (If you need black icing, you can get it separately here)

6″ Plastic treat sticks

Cellophane pop covers

Pastel M&Ms (if making flowers)

Parchment paper

You can see in the picture below the materials I used. Please note – I did not use the edible markers; they did not work well with the almond bark, so I used writing icing entirely.

Instructions for Christ-Centered Oreo Pops

1| Melt almond bark

Melt bark in microwave starting for 1 minute, using a microwave safe bowl. Then, stop and stir in 30 second increments, so it doesn’t burn. Often, if there are still chunks, you can stir it and it will melt, without need to microwave again.

2| Add sticks to Oreos

While bark is melting, add pop sticks to Oreos. Hold the Oreo firmly in your hand to keep the sides from separating. Insert stick in the cream of the Oreo, about 3/4 of the way through.

Be sure to use Double Stuff Oreos so the cream is thick enough to hold the stick.

3| Coat Oreos with melted bark

Add a dollop of bark to the top of the Oreo and swirl it with a spoon to flatten.

Tap the stick on the side of the bowl so the excess chocolate will drip down the sides and create a flat surface.

Liberally add melted bark to the sides of the Oreo so the outsides of the cookies are covered. Be sure to make sure the chocolate gets on the place where the stick meets the cream, to act as kind of a seal.

Tap again on the side of the bowl so the excess will drip off.

Finally, flip the cookie over and add a dollop of bark and swirl. Be sure to gently tap the stick on the side of the bowl so the excess chocolate drips off and create a flat surface on top.

4| Allow chocolate to harden

Place cookie pops on a piece of parchment paper on top of a baking sheet. You can allow it to air dry for a few hours. Or you can place them in the refrigerator or freezer to speed things up.

5| Decorate the cookies using writing icing.

This step really depends on how creative you are! I kept it simple (which is why this isn’t anything I’d be selling, besides at a kids’ bake sale!), but you can be as creative as you like.

For Easter, I made a grassy bottom in green icing and added crosses (sometimes a single cross, sometimes 3 crosses) in black, red, and blue icing.

I initially did the crosses in black in gel, and they smeared. Then, I went back and did red and blue instead.

Then, I added yellow sunbursts to the outside edges around the top half.

I also made a few flowers to mix in some other colors and a spring-themed M&M. To me, flowers symbolize spring and new life, which relates perfectly to Christ’s resurrection.

***Be sure to use writing ICING and not writing GEL if you are planning to cover them with cellophane. The gel does not dry and will smudge (ask me how I know!).

6| Allow decorations to harden

 

Again, you can do this on the counter for a few hours, or speed it up in the refrigerator or freezer.

7| Wrap up if distributing

If y’all are just keeping these as snacks or bringing to a Sunday School or class Easter party, there’s no need to wrap them up if you don’t want to. You can lay them in an airtight container and separate layers with parchment paper. 

If you are selling at a bake sale or giving as gifts, you can wrap them in these clear cellophane plastic wrappers and tie off with twist ties or raffia.

Tips and Hacks

I learned a few things by trial and error, so let me share what will make the process go easier!

1|If the chocolate starts to harden again, reheat for a few seconds or you can add a little oil to it.

2| ICYMI, as I mentioned before, be sure to use writing ICING and not writing GEL if you plan to package. The gel doesn’t really dry, and it will smear when anything touches it.

3| When you’re cutting the tips of your writing icing, cut them as close to the top as possible to make the hole as narrow as possible. An Oreo is a small surface, so you want the icing as thin as possible, or it can end up sloppy and bloppy.

4| Letters can be hard to do on such a small surface area. I attempted it, but it didn’t go well🤣. If you have a steady hand or are gifted in this, feel free to go for it!

5| If you make a mistake, you can easily correct it by wiping off the icing with a toothpick and then wetting a paper towel or Q-tip to clean off the excess. Below you can see a cookie I had to re-do, and you can get a pretty clean surface after removing the icing.

6|If your edges are bigger than your cookie after the cookie dries (see picture below), you can crack off any excess and then smooth the edges with your finger.

Smoothing the edges is a little easier to do when the cookies are closer to room temperature than straight out of the freezer. A little water on your fingers can help smooth the edges too.

I think these turned out super-cute, and it’s a great way to have a Christ-centered Easter activity with your kids, share Christ with neighbors or teachers, or celebrate Jesus’ resurrection at Easter party, Easter gathering, or on Easter Sunday!
