Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 (14.3 oz) package (36 cookies) Golden Oreos, crushed into crumbs
- 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 10 oz white candy coating (for dipping)
- 1 oz of white candy coating per color, for decorating
- Gel icing colors (variety of pastel or bright colors)
Step-By-Step Instructions
Step 1: Crush the Oreos
Using a food processor or blender, crush the Golden Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a Ziploc bag and crush them using a rolling pin.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the softened cream cheese. Mix well until the mixture is fully blended and can easily be shaped into balls.
Step 3: Shape the Easter Eggs
Take about 1 ½ tablespoons of the mixture and shape it into an egg form. Repeat this process until all the dough has been used. Place the eggs on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 4: Chill the Eggs
Refrigerate the shaped Oreo eggs for about 1 hour to firm up. This step makes it easier to dip them into the candy coating later.
Step 5: Melt the White Candy Coating
Once the eggs are chilled, melt 10 oz of white candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted.
Step 6: Dip the Oreo Eggs
Using a toothpick or fork, dip each egg into the melted white candy coating. Lightly shake off any excess coating and place the eggs back onto the parchment paper. If using a toothpick, gently twist and remove it, then use a dab of candy coating to cover the hole.
Step 7: Decorate with Colors
Melt 1 oz of white candy coating for each color you want to use. Add gel icing color to the melted coating until you achieve the desired shade. Drizzle or pipe the colored coating over the eggs in a fun pattern.
Step 8: Let Them Set
Allow the decorated eggs to fully dry and set before handling. This will ensure the coating stays intact and looks beautiful!
Step 9: Store and Serve
Store the Oreo eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to a week. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Pro Tips for the Best Oreo Cookie Balls
- Use Golden Oreos for a lighter, vanilla flavor. If you prefer a chocolate version, you can swap them for regular Oreos.
- Make sure your cream cheese is softened. This helps in creating a smooth and easy-to-mix filling.
- Chilling is key! Don’t skip the refrigeration step, as it helps the eggs hold their shape while dipping.
- Experiment with colors and toppings. Try pastel shades, sprinkles, or even edible glitter for extra fun!
- Gift them in Easter baskets. Wrap them in cute packaging for a festive touch.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use chocolate instead of white candy coating?
Absolutely! If you prefer a richer taste, feel free to dip your eggs in melted milk or dark chocolate instead.
How far in advance can I make these?
These can be made up to a week in advance and stored in the fridge.
Do I need to freeze them before dipping?
Chilling in the refrigerator for an hour is usually enough. However, if you find them too soft, a quick 15-minute freeze can help them stay firm while dipping.
Can I make these without a food processor?
Yes! Simply place the Oreos in a resealable plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

If you want to experiment with different flavors and styles, here are some variations to try:
- Chocolate Coating: Swap white candy coating for dark or milk chocolate for a richer taste.
- Flavored Oreos: Use different Oreo flavors like Birthday Cake, Mint, or Red Velvet for a unique twist.
- Nutty Crunch: Sprinkle crushed almonds, peanuts, or coconut flakes on top before the coating sets.
- Stuffed Surprise: Hide a small candy like an M&M or mini peanut butter cup inside the Oreo mixture before shaping.
