Perfect for Easter parties, dessert tables, or gifting, they’re fun to decorate and even more fun to eat!

🧾 Ingredients

For the Truffles:

  • 36 Oreo cookies (crushed into fine crumbs)
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese (softened)

For the Coating:

  • 2–3 cups white chocolate or candy melts (for Easter colors)
  • Optional: milk or dark chocolate for variety

Decorations:

  • Easter sprinkles 🌸
  • Crushed mini eggs
  • Colored drizzle (pink, yellow, green)
  • Shredded coconut (for “nest” effect)

🥣 Instructions

1. Crush the Oreos

  • Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and blend into fine crumbs.
  • If no processor, seal them in a bag and crush with a rolling pin.

2. Mix the Filling

  • In a large bowl, combine crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese.
  • Mix until fully blended and smooth (like dough).

3. Shape the Truffles

  • Scoop about 1 tablespoon of mixture and roll into balls.
  • Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

4. Chill

  • Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes (or freeze for 10–15 minutes) until firm.

5. Melt the Chocolate

  • Melt candy melts or chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time.

6. Dip the Truffles

  • Using a fork or toothpick, dip each ball into melted chocolate.
  • Let excess drip off, then place back on parchment paper.

7. Decorate

  • Add sprinkles or toppings immediately before coating sets.
  • Drizzle contrasting chocolate for a festive Easter look.

8. Set

  • Let truffles harden at room temperature or refrigerate until set.
