SIMPLE INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR THE EASTER EGG OREO BALLS

You will need the following ingredients listed below to make these delicious treats (the exact measurements, nutrition information and full recipe are in the recipe card at the end of this post):

• Oreos – can use gluten-free oreos if you require them to be gluten free. Golden Oreos work as well for a vanilla version.
• Cream cheese – dairy-free cream cheese can also be used for vegan oreo truffles.
• Candy melts – can use white chocolate candy melts, milk chocolate candy melts, or different colors of candy melts if desired. 
• Colorful sprinkles

HOW TO MAKE

1. Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin. Can remove 1/4 cup of cookie crumbs for the topping if desired.
2. Add the softened cream cheese to the crumbs and pulse until combined.
3. Scoop out mixture using a small cookie scoop and roll into a small egg-shaped balls (about the size of a golf ball). Smooth it out and place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 15-20 minutes.
4. Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments until fully melted.
5. Place the cookie dough balls into a fork and lower into the melted chocolate. Tap the fork onto the bowl to let excess chocolate drip off. Transfer back to cookie sheet.
6. Repeat until all the balls have been dipped. If the chocolate begins to thicken up, add back to microwave for 15 seconds so it’s easier to use.
7. Decorate the easter Oreo truffles with other colours or colourful sprinkles.
8. Allow balls to sit at room temperature until they are solid. Enjoy this no bake treat!

STORING THE LEFTOVER OREO EASTER EGGS

So, you’ve made a batch of those adorable Easter Egg Oreo Truffles, and now you’re wondering what to do with the leftovers (if there are any, because let’s be real, they’re irresistible!). Well, I’ve got you covered with some super simple tips to keep those truffles tasting as fresh as the day you made them.

First thing’s first, you’ll want to store them in an airtight container. This will keep them from drying out and also protect them from absorbing any funky flavors from your fridge. If you’ve got a lot of truffles on hand, you can layer them between sheets of parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together.

Now, if you’re planning to enjoy your truffles within the next few days, pop them in the fridge. They’ll stay perfectly chilled and ready to eat whenever that sweet tooth strikes. 

But if you’re thinking long-term, like saving some for that post-Easter chocolate craving, your freezer is your best friend. Just make sure they’re wrapped up tight or in a sealed container, and they’ll last for a couple of months. 

When you’re ready to indulge, let them thaw in the fridge for a few hours, and your fun holiday treat will be good as new!

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR BEST RESULTS

Alright, my fellow chocolate enthusiasts, let’s dive into some insider tips and tricks to ensure your Oreo Easter Egg Truffles are nothing short of perfection. These little nuggets of joy are about to become even more irresistible, if you can believe it!

Tip number one: when crushing your Oreos, make sure you get them finely ground. A food processor does a fab job, but if you’re going old school with a rolling pin, just channel your inner kitchen ninja and crush away. You want a fine crumb to create that smooth, decadent truffle texture.

Moving on to the cream cheese – it’s gotta be room temperature. This is non-negotiable, folks. Room temp cream cheese blends smoothly with the cookie crumbs, which means no lumps, just creamy, dreamy truffle filling.

Now, let’s talk chocolate shells. When melting chocolate, patience is your pal. Use a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to avoid any chocolate tragedies (aka burning). And a pro tip: a tiny bit of coconut oil can make your melted chocolate extra smooth for dipping.

Decorating your truffles should be the fun part, so don’t stress it. Use a fork to dip and swirl your truffles in the chocolate, and let your creativity take the wheel with sprinkles, edible glitter, or whatever tickles your fancy. Remember, each truffle is a mini canvas for your Easter artistry.

Last but not least, give your truffles some chill time. After decorating, let them set in the fridge for at least an hour. This will help the chocolate shell harden and make the truffles easier to handle. Plus, they taste amazing when they’re cool and firm.

FAQS

CAN I USE DARK CHOCOLATE OR WHITE ALMOND BARK FOR THE COATING INSTEAD?

 Dark chocolate is a delicious alternative as well as white almond bark. It’ll give your truffles a rich twist. Just melt it down slowly, maybe with a touch of coconut oil for smoothness, and you’re good to go!

HOW DO I ACHEIVE THE PERFECT SHAPE OF EGGS FOR MY TRUFFLES?

After mixing your cookie mixture, use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form the mixture into the top of the ball shape. Then, gently press them into an egg-like shape on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill them a bit before dipping for best results.

WHAT’S THE BEST PART ABOUT MAKING THESE HOLIDAY TREATS?

The best part is definitely seeing your creativity come to life and then sharing these sweet treats with family and friends. They make adorable additions to Easter baskets or as a special Easter gift.

CAN I USE FOOD COLORING TO TINT MY TRUFFLES?

Yes, you can divide your melted almond bark or candy wafers into separate bowls and add food coloring to create a variety of hues. It’s a great way to add a pop of color to your Easter gift or holiday treats.

THIS IS MY FIRST TIME MAKING TRUFFLES, ANY TIPS?

Don’t worry, it’s a super easy recipe and Oreo mixture. Just follow the steps, and don’t be afraid to get a little messy. 

Keep a medium bowl with a ziploc bag handy for piping and a large baking sheet to set your truffles on. And remember, practice makes perfect!
