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
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 softened cream cheese. Mix until fully incorporated and a dough-like consistency forms.
Shape the Balls:
- Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.
Coat with Chocolate:
- Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring in 20-second intervals until smooth.
- Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring an even coating.
- Place them back on the parchment paper and allow the coating to set.
Decorate as Bunnies:
- Cut mini marshmallows diagonally and dip the sticky side into pink sugar sprinkles to create bunny ears. Attach the ears to the Oreo balls while the chocolate is still slightly wet.
- Melt the pink and black candy melts separately, then use a piping bag or toothpick to create the bunny’s nose and whiskers.
- Use an edible food marker to draw the eyes or pipe them with melted black chocolate.
Final Touches:
- Let the decorations set completely before serving.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Use Room Temperature Cream Cheese: Ensures a smooth texture when mixed with Oreos.
- Chill Before Rolling: Refrigerating the mixture helps in shaping the balls easily.
- Use High-Quality Chocolate: Opt for good-quality white chocolate or candy melts for a smooth finish.
- Allow Enough Time for Setting: Let the chocolate coating set completely to avoid smudged decorations
