3.   In a small microwave bowl, microwave 1 T shortening. Add 1/3 cup of pink chocolate melts. Stir until completely melted.
4.  Pour about 2 T of the melted pink chocolate into 2 molds, covering the yellow bunny completely. (There will be 2 cookie molds of each color).

6.  Cover up the Oreos with the remaining pink chocolate and fill the mold up to the top.
