Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it together

Prep Your Ingredients: Begin by crushing the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or putting them in a ziplock bag and rolling over them with a rolling pin until they’re crumbly.

Mix It Up!: In a large bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese. Mix until well blended; the mixture should be thick yet moldable.

Shape Your Balls: Using your hands (yes, get messy!), scoop out the mixture and roll it into 1-inch balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet as you go.

Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals until smooth. Stir in any food coloring if desired.

Dunk and Decorate!: Dip each ball into the melted chocolate using forks or skewers. Let excess chocolate drip off before transferring back to the baking sheet. Sprinkle with rainbow sprinkles while still wet.

Chill Out!: Refrigerate your decorated Oreo balls for about 30 minutes or until set. Once firm, you can enjoy them right away or store them in an airtight container for later!

These delightful bites will have everyone asking for seconds (and maybe thirds). Enjoy making memories as you whip up these charming Easter treats!
