Ingredients
Oreo Filling
- 16 Oreo Cookies (gluten-free Oreos can be used)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened (low-fat cream cheese can be used)
Chocolate Coating
- 12 oz white chocolate or candy melts (dark chocolate can be substituted)
Bunny Decoration
- 10 mini marshmallows (can be swapped with chocolate wafers)
- 1/4 cup pink sugar sprinkles (edible glitter as alternative)
- 2 oz black candy melts or edible markers (for facial details, melted chocolate can be used)
Instructions
- Crush Oreos: Finely crush the Oreo cookies using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a heavy object until you achieve a fine crumb consistency.
- Combine with Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the crushed Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese until the mixture becomes dough-like and uniform in texture.
- Form Balls: Roll small portions of the Oreo mixture into approximately 1-inch diameter balls. Place each ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Chill: Refrigerate the formed balls for about 30 minutes or until firm enough for dipping.
- Melt Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate or candy melts in short 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip Balls: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate coating, allowing any excess to drip off before returning them to the parchment paper.
- Decorate: While the coating is still wet, attach two mini marshmallows dipped in pink sugar onto each ball to create bunny ears. Use black candy melts or edible markers to pipe or draw the facial features such as eyes, nose, and whiskers.
- Set: Let the decorated Bunny Oreo Balls sit at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the coating is completely set and firm before serving.
Notes
- Store Bunny Oreo Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- They can be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
- For a lighter option, use low-fat cream cheese and dark chocolate coating.
- Gluten-free Oreo cookies can be substituted to accommodate dietary needs.
- Be creative with decoration by using edible glitter or other fun sprinkles.
