Ingredients
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)
Instructions
Step 1: Crush the Oreos
-
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.
-
Transfer the crushed cookies into a mixing bowl.
Step 2: Mix with Cream Cheese
-
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.
-
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
-
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
-
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.
-
Stir in the vegetable oil to thin the chocolate and make it easier to dip.
Step 5: Coat the Oreo Balls
-
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.
-
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
-
While the chocolate coating is still soft, press a mini marshmallow onto the bottom of each Oreo ball to form the “bunny tail.”
-
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.
-
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
-
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
-
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.
Notes
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.
