Easter Egg Oreo Balls (Printable)

Creamy chocolate Oreo treats shaped into festive Easter eggs with a smooth chocolate coating.

# What You'll Need:

→ Cookie Base

01 - 36 Oreo cookies (about 1 standard package)
02 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened

→ Coating & Decoration

03 - 12 oz semi-sweet or white chocolate, chopped or in chips
04 - Assorted colored candy melts or food coloring (optional)
05 - Sprinkles, edible glitter, or colored sugar (optional)

# How-To Steps:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside for later use.
02 - Place Oreo cookies, including the filling, in a food processor. Pulse until the cookies are reduced to fine crumbs.
03 - Add softened cream cheese to the crushed cookies. Process or mix until a thick, uniform dough comes together.
04 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and gently shape each into an egg form. Arrange the shaped eggs on the prepared baking sheet.
05 - Freeze the shaped Oreo eggs for 30 minutes or until firm to the touch, making them easier to coat.
06 - Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each, until completely smooth.
07 - Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully lower each chilled egg into the melted chocolate. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before returning to the baking sheet.
08 - While the chocolate remains wet, add sprinkles, colored sugar, or drizzles of colored candy melts as desired. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes until the coating is completely set.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The perfect no bake project for rainy afternoons or holiday prep
  • That impossibly creamy Oreo cream cheese combination that nobody can resist
02 -
  • Room temperature dough will dissolve in melted chocolate. Freeze until firm or expect a messy disaster.
  • White chocolate scorches faster than dark. Watch it like a hawk during those last few seconds.
03 -
  • Wear latex gloves during shaping. The warmth from your hands melts the dough and makes shaping frustrating.
  • Keep a bowl of warm water nearby. If the dough gets too sticky, dip your hands in and dry them lightly.
