Ingredients

  • 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 12 oz white chocolate or candy melts
  • 1/2 cup pink candy melts
  • 1/2 cup black candy melts
  • Mini marshmallows (for bunny ears)
  • Pink sugar sprinkles (optional for decoration)
  • Edible food marker (black for facial details)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or place them in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese and mix until fully incorporated into a dough-like consistency.
  2. Step 2: Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
  3. Step 3: Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl by stirring every 20 seconds until smooth. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, coating it evenly. Place them on parchment paper and allow the coating to set.
  4. Step 4: Cut mini marshmallows diagonally to create bunny ears. Dip the sticky side into pink sugar sprinkles and attach them to the Oreo balls while the chocolate is still slightly wet.
  5. Step 5: Melt the pink and black candy melts separately. Use a piping bag or toothpick to create the bunny’s nose and whiskers. Draw the eyes with an edible food marker or pipe them with melted black candy.
  6. Step 6: Let all decorations set completely before serving. Store finished Bunny Oreo Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Tips & Variations

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth, lump-free mixture.
  • Chill the mixture before rolling to help the balls hold their shape.
  • Choose high-quality white chocolate or candy melts for a smooth coating; thin with a teaspoon of coconut oil if needed.
  • Get creative with decorations by using candy eyes, shredded coconut for tails, or different colored sprinkles.
  • For a dairy-free option, use dairy-free cream cheese and chocolate alternatives.
  • Use gluten-free Oreos to make this recipe gluten-free.

Storage

Store Bunny Oreo Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen in a sealed container for up to 2 months; allow them to come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving. These treats taste best when slightly chilled but not fully frozen.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of cookie instead of Oreos?

Yes, you can substitute Oreos with other chocolate sandwich cookies or your favorite cookie crumbs, but keep in mind the flavor and texture may vary.

How do I prevent the chocolate coating from melting or smudging?

Make sure the Oreo balls are well chilled before dipping and handle them gently when decorating. Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or in the fridge without rushing.

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

Coating & Decoration

  • 12 oz white chocolate or candy melts
  • 1/2 cup pink candy melts
  • 1/2 cup black candy melts
  • Mini marshmallows (for bunny ears)
  • Pink sugar sprinkles (optional for decoration)
  • Edible food marker (black for facial details)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oreo Mixture: Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the softened cream cheese and mix until fully incorporated into a dough-like consistency.
  2. Shape the Balls: Roll the Oreo and cream cheese mixture into small balls approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up before coating.
  3. Coat with Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth.

  4. Decorate as Bunnies: Cut mini marshmallows diagonally to form bunny ears and dip the sticky side into pink sugar sprinkles. Attach the ears to the Oreo balls while the chocolate coating is still slightly wet for better adhesion. Melt the pink and black candy melts separately; then using a piping bag or toothpick, create the bunny’s nose and whiskers. Use an edible food marker to draw eyes or pipe them with melted black chocolate for added detail.

Notes

  • Chill the Oreo mixture before rolling to help the balls hold their shape during dipping.
  • If the melted chocolate is too thick, add a teaspoon of coconut oil or shortening to thin it for easier coating.
  • Get creative with decorations by experimenting with candy eyes, shredded coconut for tails, or different colored candy melts for details.
  • Allow enough time for the chocolate and decorations to fully set to avoid smudging.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
