Easter Oreo Balls Ingredients
Cream cheese: You will need 8-ounces of softened cream cheese for this recipe. This is what will give them a rich, creamy center in every one of the Easter Oreo truffles.
Oreo cookies: Use one standard size (19.1 ounces) package of Oreo cookies. Any flavor variety will work great for this recipe.
Chocolate: For the candy coating, you need 2 cups of almond bark (white or chocolate flavor) or you can use colored candy melts. You can even use a combination of the two and make some pretty unique designs.
Sprinkles: Add some fun and festive Easter-themed sprinkles over your chocolate-dipped truffles to help celebrate the holiday.
How to Make Easter Egg Oreo Balls
Prep
Get started by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper, make sure this sheet will fit easily into your freezer as that is a future step in this recipe.
Crush Cookies
Next, add the Oreo cookies to a food processor and pulse until the cookies are finely crushed into sand-like crumbs. The finer the crumbs the better, so try to avoid leaving larger chunks behind.
Blend Filling
Then, combine the Oreo crumbs and cream cheese in a large mixing bowl and blend together with an electric hand mixer until the mixture is fully combined.
Shape Filling
After that, use a 1 ½ tablespoon-sized scoop to portion out the filling and roll them into little balls. Roll them until they are smooth looking and then gently adjust the shape to look more like an egg.
Freeze
Next, place each egg-shaped truffles onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all eggs have been shaped.
Then, place the baking sheet into the freezer for about 30 minutes to harden.
Assemble
Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments in the microwave, stirring between each until smooth.
Now, using 2 forks, dip each egg into the chocolate and gently shake off any excess chocolate back into the bowl.
Place the chocolate-dipped eggs back onto the sheet of parchment paper and then immediately add your festive sprinkles to the top of each egg. The eggs are chilled so the chocolate will set quickly so the sprinkle application should not be delayed for too long.
Repeat until all of the eggs have been covered with chocolate and sprinkles.
Then, allow the eggs to rest until the chocolate has set.
Serve and enjoy!
