Description
Easter Egg Oreo Balls are a delightful treat that combines the rich, creamy texture of cream cheese with the crunchy, chocolatey goodness of Oreo cookies. Each bite offers a burst of sweetness, perfectly balanced with a hint of vanilla, making them an irresistible addition to your holiday celebrations.
Ingredients
- Oreo Cookies: 36 cookies, crushed into fine crumbs
- Cream Cheese: 8 oz, softened
- White Chocolate: 12 oz, melted
- Food Coloring: 2-3 drops (optional, for coloring the chocolate)
- Sprinkles: 1/2 cup (for decoration)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and softened cream cheese until well blended.
- Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill the balls in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.
- While the balls are chilling, melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- If desired, add food coloring to the melted chocolate and mix until evenly colored.
- Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated, and return them to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle the tops with colorful sprinkles for decoration.
- Refrigerate the finished Oreo balls for at least 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
Notes
- Make-ahead: These Oreo balls can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
- Storage: Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness.
