Oreos are delicious – but lucky (green) ones are even tastier.
Kids love crafts that they get to eat, and this craft is easy enough for even toddlers and preschoolers. The younger your children are, the messier this craft might get! But that’s the fun in crafting.
The two things that everyone thinks about on St. Patrick’s day are green and rainbows. So I used both of those things in these simple Oreo cookies!
You don’t even have to use Oreos – dip some sugar cookies or your favorite cookies from the store. I just loved how the green popped on the chocolate Oreos. For a bit of fun, use mint Oreos on St. Patrick’s Day!
St. Patrick’s Day Oreos Tips
The entire recipe is in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post. First, I have some additional tips that will help you make them.
Kitchen Tools Needed:
Ingredients
Stir The Candy Melts Frequently
I melted the candy melts in the microwave. Don’t forget to add the coconut oil – it thins it down so it ‘s easier to use as a dip.
As the candies melt, stir it frequently. I like to heat it in the microwave in 30-second intervals. Don’t leave it in the microwave too long or else the candy might overcook and stick to the bowl.
Use Parchment Paper
The Oreos will stick to the baking sheet, so line the baking sheet with parchment paper first. You can also choose to use a silicone mat instead of parchment paper. Since you are not cooking them, even wax paper will work.
Drizzle Green Candy on Top Instead
I dipped each cookie halfway in candy melts. Then, I shook off excess candy melt and placed them carefully on a lined cookie sheet. Alternatively, you can place the melted candy in a piping bag and pipe the green candies on top of the Oreos.
Sprinkles Are Optional
The rainbow sprinkles are completely optional, but they add such a fun touch that I suggest you add them!
Let The Cookies Chill
Let set in the refrigerator for a minimum of 10 minutes. This is how the melted candy will harden. Enjoy the luck!
Sure, these would be great to celebrate St. Patty’s Day but you can choose any candy melt colour to match any of your upcoming parties. These quick treats are a great way to add some color to a dessert table.

Wow! These lucky Oreo medallions look so tasty! I give you a 10 on the creativity scale! Doesn’t seem like they take long to make and I’m glad you used coconut oil in the recipe. That always makes for better food.
I love Oreos! This would be a great desert to make for St. Patrick’s Day. I imagine this recipe would be great with the Mint Oreos also. I’ll try to make these for my granddaughter Emma and my grandson Zak
MMM, I love Oreos, they are great alone. But adding some candy to it, just yum. And the green gives it a really nice appeal too.
This is perfect for St.Pattys. I will be doing these with my littles. Thanks for sharing
I love this. I’m not the biggest fan of Oeros, but every once in a while I feel like I just have to have them. I have to have a glass of milk with them too. I bet the chocolate coating is a great taste!
These look fantastic! I love Oreos, who doesn’t? I think this would be a fun way to celebrate St. Patricks Day at my home. We have always liked to have some green treats around the house this time of year and I think this would be perfect.
These are so pretty, and to be honest, I don’t even like Oreo cookies! These are really festive!
What a fun and delicious treat to make and share with others. My little guy will enjoy helping me make these. If he doesn’t eat them all we will share with my daughter, too.
Oh these are too cute. You can’t go wrong with Oreos. I love that you used Coconut Oil too. We will have to try these this weekend. Our family is big into sweets. Lol.
