Ingredients
Base
-
36 Oreo cookies (regular flavor)
-
8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
Coating & Decorations
-
2 cups white chocolate chips or white candy melts
-
½ cup pink candy melts (or white chocolate tinted pink with oil-based food coloring)
-
Mini chocolate chips or candy eyes
-
Black decorating gel or melted dark chocolate (for whiskers and mouth)
-
Optional: sprinkles, coconut flakes, or colored sugar
Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Oreo Mixture
-
Place the Oreo cookies (with filling) in a food processor.
-
Pulse until they become fine crumbs.
No processor? Put them in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin. -
Add softened cream cheese.
-
Mix until fully combined into a smooth, dough-like mixture.
2️⃣ Shape
-
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of mixture and roll into balls.
-
Place on a parchment-lined tray.
-
Chill in the freezer for 15–20 minutes (or fridge 30–40 minutes) until firm.
3️⃣ Melt the Coating
-
Melt white chocolate or candy melts slowly (microwave in short bursts, stirring each time).
-
If thick, stir in 1 teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable shortening to thin it.
4️⃣ Dip
-
Dip each chilled ball into melted chocolate using a fork.
-
Let excess drip off.
-
Place back on parchment paper.
5️⃣ Decorate the Bunnies
-
While coating is still soft:
-
Add candy eyes or mini chocolate chips.
-
Pipe a small pink nose and inner ears with pink candy melts.
-
Draw whiskers and a mouth with black gel or melted chocolate.
6️⃣ Set
-
Let set at room temperature or refrigerate 15 minutes until firm.
Notes
-
✅ Chill well before dipping — this prevents cracking and falling apart.
-
✅ Keep hands slightly damp when rolling to prevent sticking.
-
✅ Candy melts are easier than real chocolate if you’re a beginner.
-
✅ Use a zip-top bag with a tiny corner cut off as a quick piping bag.
-
✅ Store in the fridge in an airtight container up to 4 days.
