Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 package 14.3 oz Oreo cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 12 oz white chocolate or vanilla candy melts
- 1/2 cup pink candy melts
- 1/2 cup black candy melts
- 48 mini vanilla marshmallows
- 2 tbsp pink sugar sprinkles
- 1 black edible food marker
Instructions
- Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs, or crush them in a zip top bag with a rolling pin until very finely ground.
- Add the softened cream cheese to the Oreo crumbs in a mixing bowl and stir or mix until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined with no visible streaks of cream cheese.
- Use a small cookie scoop or a level tablespoon to portion the mixture into 24 mounds, then roll each portion between your palms to form smooth 1 inch balls.
- Arrange the balls on a parchment lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until firm to the touch.
- Near the end of the chilling time, place the white chocolate or vanilla candy melts in a microwave safe bowl and heat in 20 to 30 second bursts, stirring after each burst, until completely melted and smooth.
- Working with one chilled Oreo ball at a time, drop it into the melted white chocolate, turn it gently to coat, then lift it out with a fork and tap the fork on the side of the bowl to let excess coating drip off.
- Set each coated ball back onto a clean parchment lined baking sheet, leaving space between them so the coating can set without sticking together.
- While the white coating is still soft, press two mini vanilla marshmallows into the top of each ball to form bunny ears.
- While the coated balls with ears set, place the pink candy melts in a small microwave safe bowl and melt in short bursts, stirring until smooth, then repeat with the black candy melts in a separate bowl.
- Use a toothpick or small piping bag to add small pink candy melt dots for noses and inner ears, and black candy melts for eyes and whiskers, or use the black edible marker to draw the facial details once the coating is fully firm.
- Sprinkle pink sugar sprinkles over the tops or around the ears while any remaining coating is still slightly tacky so they adhere.
- Let the Bunny Oreo Balls sit until the chocolate coating and decorations are completely set, then transfer them to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- If the Oreo and cream cheese mixture feels too soft to roll, chill the bowl for 10 minutes before forming balls.
- If the candy coating thickens as you work, rewarm it briefly in the microwave and stir until smooth before continuing.
