Get ready for an egg-citing treat this spring! These Easter Oreo Cake Balls are beautifully decorated, deliciously sweet, and perfect for satisfying any bunny’s sweet tooth. Made with just three simple ingredients—Oreos, cream cheese, and candy melts—these no-bake treats are quick to prepare and customizable for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 family-sized pack of Oreos about 36 cookies
- 8 oz softened cream cheese
- 4 oz each of pink blue, and green candy melts
- ¼ cup festive sprinkles
Instructions
- Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This keeps everything neat and makes cleanup a breeze. Trust me; you’ll thank yourself later.
- Dump your Oreos into a food processor or a sturdy bag and crush them until they’re fine crumbs. If you’re using a mixer, go low and steady—no one wants flying cookie shrapnel all over their kitchen!
- Once your Oreos are crushed, add the softened cream cheese. Blend everything together until it forms a soft dough. At this point, you might want to sneak a taste—it’s irresistible!
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Why? Chilling helps firm up the mixture so it’s easier to roll into balls. Patience pays off here!
- After chilling, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into smooth little spheres. Pro tip: Use a small cookie scoop for uniformity. Nobody likes lopsided truffles, right?
- Place your rolled balls onto the prepared baking sheet and freeze them for about an hour. Freezing ensures they hold their shape when dipped in melted chocolate.
- In separate microwave-safe bowls, melt your candy melts in short bursts (15-30 seconds), stirring between each zap. Add a teaspoon of coconut oil if needed to keep the chocolate smooth and glossy.
- Using a fork, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off before placing it back on the parchment paper. Drizzle different colors over the tops for extra flair, then sprinkle away with festive sprinkles. Voilà—you’ve got yourself some Easter Chocolate Covered Treats !
- Pop your finished creations in the fridge to harden completely. Once set, they’re ready to serve or store for later.
Notes
- Store these treats at room temperature for a few hours, in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for up to three months.
- For a keto-friendly version, use sugar-free Oreos and chocolate.
- Perfect for holiday exchanges, Easter baskets, or party favors.
