Ingredients
Scale
- 14.3 oz package Golden Oreos crushed into crumbs
- 8 oz cream cheese at room temperature
- 10 oz white candy coating
- 1 oz additional white candy coating for each color for decorating
- Gel icing colors
Instructions
- Crush the Golden Oreo cookies into crumbs using a food processor or blender.
- In a bowl, combine the cream cheese and cookie crumbs until mixed well. You should be able to shape it into balls easily.
- Using about 1 and a half tablespoons of the mixture, form Easter egg shapes.
- Place the eggs in the refrigerator for about one hour to firm up.
- After chilling, melt the 10 ounces of white candy coating and dip the chilled eggs into it. Place them on parchment paper to dry. Use a toothpick for dipping and gently twist it out when done. Use a little melted candy to cover the hole made by the toothpick.
- Once dried, decorate the eggs. Melt about 1 ounce of each color you plan to use. If using one color, have about 3-4 ounces of white candy coating ready. After melting, add gel icing color until you reach your desired shade, then pipe or drizzle the colors over the eggs.
- Store the Oreo eggs in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for about one week.
Notes
- Use Softened Cream Cheese: Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing and a smooth texture.
- Chill Before Dipping: Refrigerate the Oreo eggs for at least 1 hour before coating to prevent them from falling apart in the melted chocolate.
- Melting Chocolate Tip: Melt candy coating in short 20-second bursts in the microwave, stirring in between, to avoid overheating.
- Smooth Coating Trick: Use a toothpick or dipping tool for even coating, and gently tap off excess chocolate.
- Decorating Ideas: Drizzle with pastel-colored chocolate, add Easter sprinkles, or dust with edible glitter for a festive look.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for up to three months.
- Flavor Variations: Experiment with Mint Oreos, Lemon Oreos, or Birthday Cake Oreos for different flavors.
- No Food Processor? Crush Oreos in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin as an alternative.
- Make-Ahead Friendly: These Oreo balls are great for meal prep and can be made in advance for Easter parties.
