Easter Egg Oreo Balls (Printable Version)

Creamy, chocolatey Easter egg-shaped treats combining crushed Oreos with cream cheese and melted 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)

# Directions:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set aside.
02 - Place Oreo cookies (including the cream filling) in a food processor. Pulse until finely crushed into uniform crumbs.
03 - Add softened cream cheese to the crushed cookies. Blend until completely combined and a thick, uniform dough forms.
04 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll each into an egg shape. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
05 - Freeze the shaped eggs for 30 minutes or until firm enough to handle without breaking.
06 - Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely smooth and fluid.
07 - Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully dip each chilled egg into melted chocolate. Allow excess coating to drip off, then return to the baking sheet.
08 - Immediately drizzle with colored candy melts or sprinkle with decorations before the chocolate hardens.
09 - Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes until the chocolate coating is completely set. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • No oven required, which means more time for decorating and less time heating up the kitchen
  • They're ridiculously forgiving ugly eggs still taste like heaven
  • Kids can practically make them themselves with minimal supervision
02 -
  • If your egg shapes start warming up and becoming difficult to dip, pop them back in the freezer for 10 minutes
  • Chocolate seizes if even a drop of water gets into it, so make sure all your utensils are completely dry
03 -
  • Wear food safe gloves when shaping the eggs if you want to keep your hands clean
  • Leftover melted chocolate can be poured onto parchment paper, chilled, and broken into bark for later snacking
