Bunny Oreo Balls (Printer-friendly)

No-bake Oreo and cream cheese truffles dipped in white chocolate with marshmallow ears and festive bunny decorations.

# What You Need:

→ Oreo Mixture

01 - 36 Oreo cookies (about 10.5 oz)
02 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened

→ Coating

03 - 14 oz white chocolate or white candy melts

→ Decorations

04 - 48 mini marshmallows for bunny ears
05 - Pink sanding sugar or edible pink gel for ears and nose
06 - 48 mini chocolate chips or edible black marker for eyes
07 - 24 pink heart sprinkles or pink M&M minis for noses
08 - 24 mini white marshmallows for tails, optional

# How to Make It:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and transfer.
02 - Process Oreo cookies in a food processor until reduced to fine, uniform crumbs.
03 - Add softened cream cheese to the crumbs and blend until completely incorporated, forming a thick, pliable dough.
04 - Scoop 1-tablespoon portions and roll between palms into smooth rounds. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
05 - Freeze the formed balls for 20-30 minutes until firm enough to handle without losing shape.
06 - Melt white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring at 30-second intervals until completely smooth.
07 - Submerge each chilled ball in melted chocolate, lift with a fork allowing excess to drip away, and return to the baking sheet.
08 - While coating remains tacky, attach marshmallow ears dipped in pink sugar, chocolate chip eyes, heart sprinkle noses, and marshmallow tails.
09 - Refrigerate decorated balls for at least 30 minutes until chocolate coating is fully hardened and stable.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • No oven required means you can make these even when every burner and baking dish is occupied with holiday cooking
  • The decorating part is strangely therapeutic and kids can help without any risk of burns
  • These freeze beautifully for weeks, so you can prep them way ahead of surprise guests
02 -
  • If your chocolate coating gets too thick while dipping, add a teaspoon of vegetable oil to thin it back out without compromising the set
  • The chilling time before dipping is absolutely non-negotiable or the balls will fall apart in the warm chocolate
  • Have all your decorations sorted and ready before you start dipping because the coating sets faster than you expect
03 -
  • Use a cookie scoop to ensure all your balls are the same size, which helps them chill evenly and look uniform
  • If the marshmallow ears won't stick, dip the cut side in a tiny bit of melted chocolate before pressing them onto the balls
