Ingredients

Print

• 1 (14.3 oz) package Oreo cookies
• 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 (12 oz) package vanilla almond bark or candy melts
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for thinning coating)
• Assorted spring sprinkles for decorating

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Crush the Cookies: Place the entire package of Oreos (cream filling and all!) into a food processor. Pulse until you have fine, even crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, you can place the cookies in a large zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
2. Mix in the Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs with the softened cream cheese. Use a handheld mixer or just get in there with your hands to mix until it’s completely combined and forms a thick, uniform dough.
3. Shape the Eggs: Scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture. Roll it into a ball, then gently pinch and shape it into an oval egg shape. Place the shaped eggs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Chill: Once all eggs are shaped, pop the baking sheet into the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This chilling step is crucial—it helps the eggs hold their shape when you dip them.
5. Melt the Coating: Melt the vanilla almond bark or candy melts according to package directions. If the coating seems too thick, stir in a teaspoon of coconut oil to thin it out for easier dipping.
6. Dip and Decorate: Using a fork or a dipping tool, carefully dip each chilled Oreo egg into the melted coating, letting any excess drip off. Place it back on the parchment paper and immediately add your favorite sprinkles before the coating sets. Repeat with all eggs.
7. Set and Serve: Allow the coating to fully harden at room temperature (or speed it up in the fridge for 10 minutes). Then, arrange them on a platter and watch them disappear!

Equipment You’ll Need

• Food processor (or a zip-top bag and rolling pin)
• Large mixing bowl
• Hand mixer (optional, but helpful)
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Dipping tools or forks

Tips & Variations

My number one tip? Don’t stress if your eggs aren’t perfectly smooth. The sprinkles hide a multitude of sins! If the mixture feels too sticky when shaping, pop it in the fridge for 15 minutes to firm up. For a fun twist, try using different Oreo flavors like Mint or Peanut Butter. You can also use dark, milk, or white chocolate for dipping instead of almond bark. If you’re looking for more no-bake bar inspiration, our Fudge Nutella Oreo Bars are another family favorite.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these Oreo Cookie Balls ahead of time?

Absolutely! That’s one of their best features. You can make them up to 3 days in advance. Just store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They might even taste better after the flavors have had more time to mingle!

How do I store leftovers?

Because of the cream cheese, these need to be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. They will keep for up to a week… if they last that long! For more tips on storing sweet treats, check out our guide on keeping your baked goods fresh.

My coating is too thick. What can I do?

This is a common hiccup! Simply add a small amount of coconut oil or vegetable shortening to the melted candy coating and stir until it thins to a dippable consistency. Add it slowly—you can always add more, but you can’t take it out!

Can I freeze Easter Egg Oreo Cookie Balls?

You sure can. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll keep for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
