Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Oreo Balls:

• 1 package (15.25 oz) Oreo cookies (regular or double stuff)
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened

For the Coating and Decoration:

• 12 oz white chocolate chips (for the coating)
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil (to thin out the chocolate for easier dipping)
• Mini marshmallows (for the bunny tail)
• Pink candy melts or pink food coloring (for the bunny’s feet)
• Black edible gel or small black candies (for the eyes and nose)

Tools You’ll Need

• Food processor (optional, for crushing the Oreos)
• Mixing bowl
• Microwave-safe bowl (for melting chocolate)
• Spoon or spatula
• Wax paper or parchment paper (for setting the Oreo balls)
• Toothpicks (optional, for shaping)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Crush the Oreos

1. Place the entire package of Oreo cookies (including the filling) into a food processor and pulse until the cookies are finely crushed into crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, you can also place the Oreos in a large zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
2. Transfer the crushed cookies into a mixing bowl.

Step 2: Mix with Cream Cheese

1. Add the softened cream cheese to the Oreo crumbs. Using a spoon or your hands, mix the cream cheese with the crushed Oreos until fully combined and the mixture is thick and dough-like.
2. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls, placing them on a wax paper or parchment-lined baking sheet. You should get about 20-24 balls.

Step 3: Freeze the Oreo Balls

1. Place the Oreo balls in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to firm up. This will make them easier to coat with chocolate.

Step 4: Melt the White Chocolate

1. While the Oreo balls are chilling, melt the white chocolate chips. Place them in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
2. Stir in the vegetable oil to thin the chocolate and make it easier to dip.

Step 5: Coat the Oreo Balls

1. Once the Oreo balls are chilled and firm, dip each ball into the melted white chocolate using a fork or toothpick. Coat the ball completely and let any excess chocolate drip off.
2. Place the coated Oreo balls back on the parchment paper. If you prefer a thicker coating, you can dip them again after the first coat has set for a few minutes.

Step 6: Add Bunny Decorations

1. While the chocolate coating is still soft, press a mini marshmallow onto the bottom of each Oreo ball to form the “bunny tail.”
2. For the bunny feet, melt the pink candy melts (or color some white chocolate with pink food coloring) and use a toothpick to draw little bunny paws on the bottom of the Oreo balls, next to the marshmallow tail.
3. Add two small black candy pieces or use edible gel to create the bunny’s eyes and nose.

Step 7: Let the Oreo Balls Set

1. Allow the chocolate to harden completely by letting the Oreo balls sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes or placing them in the fridge for about 15 minutes.

Step 8: Serve & Enjoy

1. Once the chocolate has set and the decorations are secure, your Bunny Butt Oreo Balls are ready to serve! Arrange them on a serving plate or wrap them up for a fun Easter gift.

Tips for Perfect Bunny Butt Oreo Balls

• Chill the Balls – Freezing the Oreo balls before dipping them in chocolate helps prevent them from falling apart or becoming too soft during the coating process.
• Use White Chocolate Chips for Coating – White chocolate works best for coating, but you can also use colored candy melts for a different look.
• Customize the Decorations – You can decorate the bunny butts however you like! Consider using other colored candy melts or adding a little bow to the tails for extra flair.
• Add a Little Flavored Filling – Try adding a bit of peanut butter or Nutella to the cream cheese and Oreo mixture for a twist on the classic flavor.

Serving Suggestions

• Perfect for Easter Parties – These Bunny Butt Oreo Balls are great for any Easter celebration, whether it’s a family dinner, an Easter egg hunt, or a potluck.
• Add to a Dessert Platter – Serve these alongside other Easter-themed desserts, such as carrot cake or pastel-colored cupcakes.
• Gift Them – Package these adorable Oreo balls in small gift bags or boxes as sweet Easter gifts for friends and family.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use chocolate Oreo cookies instead of regular Oreos?
   • Yes! You can use chocolate or any flavor of Oreos you prefer. The flavor of the filling will change slightly, but the result will still be delicious.
2. Can I make these ahead of time?
   • Absolutely! These Oreo balls can be made a day or two ahead of time. Just store them in the fridge to keep them fresh.
3. Can I use something else for the tail instead of marshmallows?
   • Yes, you can substitute mini marshmallows with a small piece of white chocolate or a round candy for the tail. Just make sure it’s soft enough to adhere to the Oreo ball.
4. Can I make these without cream cheese?
   • While cream cheese is traditionally used to give these Oreo balls their creamy texture, you can substitute it with a little butter or peanut butter if you prefer.
