Base Ingredients
- 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- Coat with Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth. Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully dip each Oreo ball into the melted chocolate to coat evenly. Place them back onto the parchment paper and let the chocolate set.
- 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.
- Final Touches: Allow all decorations to fully set before serving. Store finished Bunny Oreo Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for smoother mixing and lump-free texture.
- 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.
