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

Step 1: 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 and a dough-like consistency forms.
Step 2: 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.
Step 3: Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring at 20-second intervals until smooth. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each Oreo ball into the melted chocolate to coat evenly. Place them back on the parchment paper and let the coating set.
Step 4: Cut mini marshmallows diagonally to create bunny ears. Dip the sticky side into pink sugar sprinkles, then attach the ears to the Oreo balls while the chocolate coating is still slightly wet.
Step 5: Melt the pink and black candy melts separately. Use a piping bag or toothpick to add the bunny’s nose and whiskers with the melted candy. Use an edible food marker or melted black chocolate to draw the eyes.
Step 6: Allow all decorations to set completely before serving.

Tips & Variations

For a festive twist, try using pastel-colored candy melts instead of white chocolate to match seasonal themes.
If you don’t have mini marshmallows, almond slivers or small candy pieces can work for bunny ears.
Make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and smoother texture.

Storage

Store the Bunny Oreo Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If desired, let them come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving to enhance the flavor and texture. Avoid freezing, as it may affect the coating and cream cheese filling.

FAQs

Can I use regular chocolate instead of candy melts?

Yes, you can use regular white chocolate or colored chocolate, but candy melts are easier to work with because they melt smoothly and harden with a nice glossy finish.

How do I prevent the Oreo balls from cracking when coating them?

Make sure the Oreo balls are firm and well-chilled before dipping. Also, avoid overheating the chocolate to prevent it from becoming grainy or too thin.
