Easter Egg Oreo Balls (Printable)

Creamy Oreo and cream cheese mixture shaped into eggs, dipped in chocolate, and decorated for spring festivities.

# What You Need:

01 - 36 Oreo cookies (about 1 standard package)

02 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened

03 - 12 oz semi-sweet or white chocolate, chopped or in chips

04 - Assorted colored candy melts or food coloring (optional, for decoration)

05 - Sprinkles, edible glitter, or colored sugar (optional)

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

02 - In a food processor, pulse Oreo cookies with filling until finely crushed.

03 - Add softened cream cheese and blend until a thick, uniform dough forms.

04 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and shape each into an egg. Place on the prepared baking sheet.

05 - Freeze the shaped balls for 30 minutes, or until firm.

06 - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.

07 - Using a fork, dip each chilled Oreo egg into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Return to the baking sheet.

08 - If desired, drizzle with colored candy melts or decorate with sprinkles before the chocolate sets.

09 - Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to set the coating. Serve cold or at room temperature.

01 -

They look like you spent hours crafting them but actually take about twenty minutes of active work
The combination of creamy filling and crisp chocolate shell is dangerously addictive

02 -

If your chocolate is too thick, add a teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable shortening. Do not add water or milk, it will seize and ruin everything.
The freezing step is not optional. I tried skipping it once during an impatient holiday rush and ended up with chocolate Oreo soup instead of egg shapes.

03 -

Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizing, which helps them all finish chilling at the same rate
If your hands are warm, run them under cold water and dry thoroughly before shaping the dough
