These Bunny Butt Oreo Balls are a fun and cute treat for Easter! Made with creamy Oreo filling and dipped in chocolate, these Oreo balls are shaped like little bunny butts and decorated to look like adorable Easter bunnies. They are easy to make and perfect for any festive occasion!

Ingredients

For the Oreo Balls:

1 package (14 oz) Oreo cookies
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

For the Coating:

2 cups white chocolate chips (or white candy melts)
1 cup milk chocolate chips (or dark chocolate candy melts)

For the Decorations:

12 mini marshmallows (for bunny tails)
Pink or white sprinkles (for added decoration)
Small candy eyes (optional)
Pink colored chocolate or candy melts (optional, for the paws)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oreo Mixture

Using a food processor, crush the Oreo cookies (including the filling) into fine crumbs. If you don't have a food processor, you can place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs and the softened cream cheese. Use your hands or a spoon to mix them together until fully combined and the mixture is sticky.
If desired, add vanilla extract for extra flavor, then continue to mix until everything is well incorporated.

Step 2: Shape the Bunny Butts

Roll the Oreo mixture into 1-inch balls. To make them look more like bunny butts, you can slightly flatten one side of each ball to create a flat bottom and then gently form the other side into a more rounded shape.
Press mini marshmallows into the flat side of each ball to form the "tail" of the bunny butt. You can dip the marshmallows in white chocolate or candy melts before pressing them into the ball for a more seamless look.
Place the shaped balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Step 3: Coat the Oreo Balls

While the Oreo balls are chilling, melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until completely smooth and melted.
Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted white chocolate, coating it completely. Use a fork to lift the ball out of the chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Return the coated ball to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
After dipping, allow the chocolate coating to set slightly before moving on to the next step.

Step 4: Decorate the Bunny Butts

Once the white chocolate has set, melt the milk chocolate or dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl for the bunny paws.
Using a spoon or a piping bag, place two small dots of milk chocolate on each Oreo ball to represent the bunny's paws.
Optionally, place a small candy eye on each ball to add a fun touch.
If you’d like to make the tail look more realistic, you can drizzle pink-colored chocolate or candy melts on the tail area or use pink sprinkles for decoration.

Step 5: Chill and Serve

Place the decorated Oreo balls back in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to let the chocolate coating set completely.
Once the chocolate has hardened, the Bunny Butt Oreo Balls are ready to be served and enjoyed!

Tips for the Best Bunny Butt Oreo Balls

Consistency: Make sure the cream cheese is softened before mixing to ensure a smooth and sticky mixture that holds together well.
Make them ahead: These Oreo balls can be made a day or two in advance. Just store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Dipping options: You can use candy melts instead of chocolate for a smoother and more vibrant coating. If you prefer dark chocolate, feel free to switch the white chocolate coating with dark chocolate.

Storage

Refrigeration: Store the Bunny Butt Oreo Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Freezing: You can freeze these Oreo balls for up to 3 months. Let them thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
