Quick Overview

Making Bunny Butt Oreo Balls is wickedly easy! With a total preparation time of just about 30 minutes, you can whip up these fun treats in no time flat. The best part? Their creamy, indulgent flavor alongside their charming appearance makes them the perfect dessert for any occasion

Ingredients Needed:

• 36 Oreo cookies
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 12 oz white chocolate or white candy melts
• 1/4 cup pink candy melts
• Mini marshmallows
• Pink sanding sugar or sprinkles (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Crush the Oreos: Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until you achieve fine crumbs.
2. Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos, softened cream cheese, and vanilla extract. Stir until you get a dough-like consistency.
3. Form Balls: With your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and lay them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Freeze: Put the baking sheet in the freezer for about 20-30 minutes to allow the balls to firm up.
5. Melt Chocolate: While the balls are freezing, melt the white chocolate or candy melts in the microwave. Stir every 30 seconds until smooth.
6. Coat the Balls: Remove the balls from the freezer. Dip each one into the melted white chocolate, coating completely before placing them back onto the parchment.
7. Create Feet: Melt the pink candy melts and pipe small oval shapes on parchment paper for the bunny feet. Use a toothpick to draw bunny paw pads on each foot.
8. Add Decor: Attach a mini marshmallow as the tail using melted chocolate. Stick two bunny feet onto the front of each Oreo ball. Sprinkle with pink sanding sugar for an extra touch!
9. Set and Serve: Allow the decorations to set completely before serving. These treats can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

What to Serve Bunny Butt Oreo Balls With:

Bunny Butt Oreo Balls are delightful on their own, but they pair wonderfully with a glass of cold milk, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or even a refreshing fruit salad. You can elevate your dessert table by serving them alongside Chocolate-Covered Strawberries or Mini Cheesecakes to create a festive spread.

Top Tips for Perfecting:

• Ingredient Substitutions: If you don’t have cream cheese, consider using mascarpone for a slightly different texture but equally delightful flavor.
• Decorating: Use colorful sprinkles or edible glitter for more pop and make it even cuter.
• Avoiding Cracks: When dipping the balls in chocolate, ensure the chocolate is melted to a smooth, thick consistency to avoid cracks.

Storing and Reheating Tips:

To keep your Bunny Butt Oreo Balls fresh, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If you want to make them ahead of time, these treats can also be frozen. Just place them in a freezer-safe container with parchment paper between layers, and they can last for up to a month. When you’re ready to enjoy them, simply thaw overnight in the fridge for the best taste and texture.

Feel free to adjust the amount of cream cheese to balance out the sweetness or omit the pink candy melts!

Yes! Dark or milk chocolate can be delightful alternatives that give the treats a different flavor profile.
