Instructions

Let’s get to the fun part—making these Easter Egg Oreo Balls! Follow these simple steps, and you’ll have a batch of gorgeous Oreo treats in no time.

Crush the Oreos

Start by crushing the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. You can do this by placing them in a food processor or by putting them in a zip-top bag and using a rolling pin to crush them into small pieces. Aim for a fine, powdery texture.

Mix with Cream Cheese

Once the Oreos are crushed, place them in a large bowl and add the softened cream cheese. Mix everything together until well combined. The mixture should be thick and slightly sticky, perfect for rolling into balls.

Shape the Oreo Balls

Scoop about a tablespoon of the Oreo mixture and roll it into a ball using your hands. Repeat this process until all of the mixture is used up. You should have about 20-25 balls, depending on the size.

Coat the Balls in Chocolate

Melt your chocolate coating—either white or milk chocolate—according to the package directions. Dip each Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. You can use a fork or spoon to help with this process, and gently tap to remove any excess chocolate.

Decorate and Chill

Once coated, place the Oreo balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If desired, you can decorate the chocolate-covered balls with pastel sprinkles, edible glitter, or mini candy decorations to give them an Easter egg look.

Chill the Oreo balls in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set the chocolate and allow them to firm up.

Serve and Enjoy!

Once the chocolate has hardened, your Easter Egg Oreo Balls are ready to serve! These little treats are perfect for any springtime celebration or simply as an afternoon treat. Enjoy!
