Introduction

Bunny Oreo Balls are an adorable and delicious no-bake treat perfect for Easter or any festive occasion. These bite-sized truffles combine a creamy Oreo filling with a smooth chocolate shell, decorated to look like cute bunnies. They’re easy to make and fun for all ages.

Seven small round treats are placed on a white plate with a scalloped edge, set on a white marbled surface. Each treat is covered with smooth white coating, with some decorated with white sprinkles covering most of their surface, adding texture. All have two small black dots as eyes near the front center and two pink oval-shaped candy pieces on top to resemble bunny ears. The background shows hints of soft pink flowers out of focus. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

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 softened cream cheese and mix until fully incorporated and dough-like.

Step 2: Roll the mixture into small balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 3: Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth. Dip each Oreo ball into the melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool, coating evenly. Place back on the parchment paper to set.
Step 4: Cut mini marshmallows diagonally and dip the sticky side into pink sugar sprinkles to form bunny ears. 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. Use an edible food marker or melted black chocolate to draw eyes.
Step 6: Allow all decorations to set completely before serving.

Tips & Variations

Use softened cream cheese at room temperature for a smooth mixture without lumps.

Refrigerate the mixture before shaping to help maintain the balls’ shape during dipping.
For easier chocolate dipping, thin melted chocolate with a teaspoon of coconut oil or shortening.
Experiment with decorations: add candy eyes, shredded coconut for tails, or different colored candy melts for variety.

For a lower-sugar option, try reduced-sugar Oreos and dark chocolate instead of white chocolate.
Make dairy-free versions by substituting cream cheese and chocolate with dairy-free alternatives.
Use gluten-free Oreos to accommodate gluten sensitivities.

Storage

Store Bunny Oreo Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a sealed container for up to 2 months; allow to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving. They taste best when slightly chilled but not completely frozen.

How to Serve

There are seven small round white balls on a white plate with a wavy edge, each decorated to look like little bunny faces. The base of each ball is smooth and covered in white, with some covered partly in white sprinkles for texture. Each has two small pink oval ears sticking up from the top and two small dark round eyes positioned close together on the front. The background has a soft white marbled texture and some blurred pink flowers framing the image. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use a different type of chocolate instead of white chocolate?

Yes, you can substitute white chocolate with milk or dark chocolate if you prefer. Just ensure it melts smoothly for coating and decorations.

How do I prevent the Oreo balls from falling apart when dipping in chocolate?

Chilling the Oreo mixture balls for at least 30 minutes before dipping helps them firm up and hold their shape better. Using a fork or dipping tool carefully also minimizes breakage.
