🛒 Ingredients (5 Simple Ingredients!)
- 1 package (36 cookies) Oreo cookies
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 2–3 cups white chocolate chips or melting wafers
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smoother melting)
- Food coloring & Easter sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
🥣 Instructions
1. Crush the Oreos
- Place Oreo cookies (with filling) into a food processor.
- Blend until they become fine crumbs.
(No processor? Put them in a zip bag and crush with a rolling pin.)
2. Make the Filling

- Roll into an oval or egg shape using your hands.
- Place on a lined baking tray.
4. Chill
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or freeze for 20–30 minutes).
- This helps them firm up for dipping.
5. Melt the Chocolate
- Melt white chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time.
- Add coconut oil if needed for a smoother consistency.
6. Dip and Decorate
- Dip each Oreo egg into melted chocolate using a fork.
- Let excess drip off, then place back on tray.
- Decorate immediately with sprinkles or drizzle colored chocolate on top.
7. Set
- Let chocolate harden at room temperature or refrigerate until firm.
🍫 Methods & Tips for Success
- Smooth Coating Tip: Add a little coconut oil to thin the chocolate.
