Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 36 Oreo cookies (1 standard 14.3 ounces / 405 grams package)
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
Coating Ingredients:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) white chocolate or white candy melts
- Pink candy melts
Decorative Ingredients:
- Mini marshmallows or white chocolate chips
- Pink confetti sprinkles or edible markers
Instructions
- Transform golden-brown Oreo cookies into fine, uniform crumbs using a food processor, ensuring no large chunks remain.
- Incorporate softened cream cheese into the cookie crumbs, mixing thoroughly until a cohesive, smooth mixture forms.
- Carefully shape the mixture into uniform, compact spheres approximately one inch in diameter.
- Transfer the formed spheres onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and place in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to firm up.
- Meanwhile, gently melt white chocolate or candy melts using a double boiler or microwave, stirring periodically to maintain a smooth consistency.
- Remove chilled Oreo balls and delicately immerse each one into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess coating to drip off.
- Return dipped spheres to the parchment-lined sheet, ensuring they do not touch each other.
- While the chocolate coating remains slightly tacky, affix a miniature marshmallow or white chocolate chip to represent the bunny’s tail.
- Create delicate pink feet by piping melted pink candy onto wax paper in small oval shapes, allowing them to completely solidify.
- Use additional pink candy melt or an edible marker to define subtle toe pad details on the hardened feet.
- Attach the prepared feet beneath the tail using a minimal amount of melted chocolate as adhesive.
- Allow all decorative elements to set completely at room temperature or expedite the process by briefly chilling in the refrigerator.
- Once fully set, serve or store the whimsical bunny butt Oreo balls in an airtight container.
Notes
- Crumb Consistency Matters: Pulse Oreos into extremely fine crumbs for a smoother, more uniform texture that helps bind the mixture perfectly.
- Cream Cheese Temperature Hack: Ensure cream cheese is truly softened at room temperature to blend seamlessly without lumps, creating a silky-smooth base.
- Freezing Trick: Chilling the balls before dipping prevents them from falling apart during chocolate coating and helps achieve a neater, more professional finish.
- Decoration Pro Tip: Work quickly when attaching marshmallow tails and chocolate feet while the white coating is still slightly tacky to ensure they stick securely.
