Easter Egg Oreo Balls - Recipe from Price Chopper

Make the Oreo Crumbs:

1. Place the Oreo cookies (no need to remove the filling) into a food processor and pulse until they turn into fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, you can also place the Oreos in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

Mix with Cream Cheese:

1. In a large bowl, mix the crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese. Use a spoon or your hands to blend the mixture until it forms a dough-like consistency. It should be thick and slightly sticky.

Shape the Oreo Balls into Easter Eggs:

1. Take small portions of the Oreo-cream cheese mixture (about 1 tablespoon per ball) and roll them into oval shapes to resemble Easter eggs. Place the shaped eggs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Chill the Oreo Eggs:

1. Once all the Oreo eggs are shaped, refrigerate them for about 30 minutes to help them firm up.

Melt the Chocolate for Coating:

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate or milk chocolate. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted. You can add 1-2 tbsp of vegetable oil to the chocolate to make it smoother and easier to coat the eggs.

Coat the Oreo Eggs:

1. Once the Oreo eggs have chilled, dip each one into the melted chocolate, making sure it’s fully coated. You can use a fork to dip and lift the eggs, gently tapping the fork on the edge of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
2. Return the coated eggs to the baking sheet and allow the chocolate to set.

Decorate the Oreo Eggs:

1. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle colorful Easter sprinkles on top of the eggs.
2. Optionally, you can melt some additional colored chocolate or candy melts (such as pastel pink, blue, yellow, or green) and drizzle it over the top for extra decoration. Let the melted chocolate cool slightly before drizzling so that it sets up quickly.

Final Chill and Serve:

1. Once the decorated Oreo eggs are finished, refrigerate them for an additional 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to fully set.
2. Serve and enjoy these cute and festive Easter treats!
