(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Begin by crushing the Golden Oreos into crumbs. You can use a food processor or blender to get a fine consistency.
In a bowl, mix together the crushed cookies and cream cheese until fully combined. The mixture should be thick enough to easily form into balls.
Using about 1 ½ tablespoons of the mixture, form the dough into egg shapes.
Place the shaped eggs in the fridge for about 1 hour to firm up.
After chilling, melt the 10 ounces of white candy coating. Dip each chilled egg into the melted candy, allowing the excess to drip off. I use a toothpick inserted into the bottom of each egg to make dipping easier. Once dipped, place the eggs on parchment paper and gently twist the toothpick while pulling it out to avoid any holes in the coating. If a hole remains, you can fill it in with a bit of extra candy coating.
Let the candy coating dry completely.
For the final step, melt small amounts of white candy coating and add gel icing colors to create different colors for decorating. Pipe or drizzle the colors over the eggs as you like, creating fun patterns or designs.
Once decorated, return the Oreo eggs to the fridge to set completely.

Variations

Use Different Cookies: If you’re not a fan of Golden Oreos, you can easily swap them for regular Oreos or even flavored Oreos for a unique twist.
Chocolate Coating: For a richer flavor, consider using dark or milk chocolate candy coating instead of white candy coating.
Easter Basket Theme: Decorate with pastel colors or even create a marble effect with a mix of colors for a spring-themed treat.
Add-ins: You can add small candy pieces or sprinkles on top for extra crunch or decoration.

Storage/Reheating

Store the Oreo egg balls in an airtight container in the fridge. They will stay fresh for up to 1 week. The candy coating may begin to soften if kept out at room temperature for too long, so it’s best to keep them chilled until you’re ready to enjoy them.
