Ingredients in Easter Egg Oreo Balls
These cute little treats come together with just a few simple ingredients!
Oreo Cookies The rich, chocolatey base of these truffles—no need to remove the filling!
Cream Cheese The magic ingredient that binds everything together and gives them a smooth, creamy texture.
Vanilla Extract Adds a touch of extra flavor for that perfect sweetness.
White Chocolate or Candy Melts The coating that gives these Oreo balls their beautiful Easter egg look.

Instructions
Let’s dive into the steps to create these delicious, festive treats:
Crush the Oreos In a food processor, blend the Oreo cookies until fine crumbs form. If you don’t have a food processor, place them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Mix with Cream Cheese Add the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract to the crushed Oreos. Mix until you get a smooth, dough-like consistency.
Shape into Eggs Scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into egg shapes. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Chill Let the Oreo eggs chill in the freezer for 15-20 minutes so they firm up before dipping.
Melt the Chocolate Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. If you’re using different colors, separate the melted chocolate into bowls and add food coloring.
Dip the Eggs Using a fork or a skewer, dip each chilled Oreo egg into the melted chocolate, tapping off any excess. Place them back on the parchment paper.
Decorate Before the chocolate sets, add sprinkles, drizzle with contrasting chocolate, or use extra candy melts to make fun designs.
Let Them Set Allow the chocolate to harden completely at room temperature or in the fridge.
Serve and Enjoy Once set, they’re ready to enjoy!

Ingredients
Oreo Mixture:
1 (14.3 oz) package Oreo cookies (about 36 cookies)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
Coating:
16 oz (1 lb) semisweet or milk chocolate (or white chocolate, if preferred), chopped or chocolate chips
Decoration:
Mini candy eggs (about 20-30, for embedding or garnishing)
Optional: Sprinkles or crushed nuts for extra decoration
Instructions
-
Prepare the Oreo Mixture:
- In a food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies until they reach a fine crumb consistency. Alternatively, place them in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- In a large bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese until well mixed. The mixture should be thick enough to form into balls.
-
Form the Balls:
- Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
- Place the formed balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- For a festive touch, gently press a mini candy egg into the top of each ball.
-
Chill:
- Refrigerate the balls for at least 1 hour, or freeze for 20–30 minutes, to firm up the mixture before coating.
-
Prepare the Chocolate Coating:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between intervals until smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler over low heat.
-
Dip the Balls:
- Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are completely coated.
- Allow any excess chocolate to drip off, then return the balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
-
Decorate and Set:
- While the chocolate is still wet, add additional mini candy eggs or sprinkle decorations on top if desired.
- Let the coated balls sit at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate is fully set.
Notes
- Ensure that the Oreo mixture is well chilled before dipping; this will help the chocolate adhere better.
- Experiment with different chocolate types or additional mix-ins like a dash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
