How to make Easter chocolates

Step 1 – Crush up the Oreos finely in a food processor and add them to a large bowl.

Step 2 – Add the cream cheese and beat using a hand mixer until a dough consistency forms. Line a large baking sheet or tray with parchment paper.

Step 3 – Roll out about 1 tablespoon of dough into a ball and place on the parchment paper. Repeat until there is no more dough left. Place in the freezer for 1 hour.

Step 4 – In three separate microwave-safe bowls, add pink to one, blue to one, and yellow to one. Melt each one in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds. Make sure to mix with a clean utensil so you don’t mix colors.

Step 5 – Once everything is melted, bring the Oreo balls out. Use two forks to dip the ball into whatever color you choose first. Lightly tap the fork on the side of the bowl to have the leftover candy fall back into the bowl. Scrape the bottom and then push back onto the parchment paper carefully. Repeat with all the balls, alternating colors.

Once all the Oreo balls are dipped, get three small zip-lock bags out, pour the leftover candy melts into each one, snip a tiny piece of the corner off with scissors, and then drizzle pink over the yellow and blue dipped ones, or blue over the yellow and pink, etc. You can drizzle two colors on one as well.

As soon as you drizzle the candy, sprinkle the sprinkles right on top so they stick. Once done, you can set them in the fridge for 5 minutes so the candy hardens faster. (Optional) Serve and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• Use a food processor to crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. This helps the cookie mixture form evenly.
• Let the cream cheese come to room temperature before mixing for a smooth, lump-free texture.
• Chill the Oreo balls for enough time. Freezing for one hour ensures they hold their shape when dipped in melted chocolate.
• Work quickly when dipping. If the chocolate starts to thicken, reheat in the microwave.
• Tap off excess chocolate. Gently tap the fork against the side of the bowl to remove extra dark chocolate or candy coating before placing the truffle on parchment paper.
• Decorate while the chocolate is wet. This helps the Easter sprinkles stick securely.

Substitutions and Variations

• Switch the Oreos – Try lemon Oreos for a citrusy twist or use chocolate Oreos for a richer taste.
• Egg-shaped truffles – Use a small cookie scoop to form the mixture into small egg-shaped balls for a more festive touch.
• Add edible glitter – For extra sparkle, sprinkle edible glitter over the truffles before the chocolate sets.
• Flavor twists – Add peanut butter or a little bit of cocoa powder to the Oreo mixture for a different flavor profile.
