Scale
Essential Ingredients:
- 1 package (14.3 oz) of Oreo cookies (classic or flavored)
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 12 oz white candy melts or white chocolate
- Pink candy melts (for decorating bunny feet)
- Mini marshmallows or white candy pearls (for the fluffy tail)
Optional Ingredients for Customization:
- Shredded coconut (for a fluffy texture)

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Oreo Mixture
- Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a ziplock bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- In a bowl, mix the Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese until fully combined and dough-like.
Step 2: Shape the Bunny Butts
- Roll the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until firm.
Step 3: Coat with Chocolate
- Melt the white candy melts or white chocolate according to the package instructions.
- Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate and place it back on the tray to set.
Step 4: Decorate the Bunny Butt
- Attach a mini marshmallow or a small white candy pearl for the bunny tail.
- Pipe pink candy melts onto parchment paper to create small bunny feet and attach them to the Oreo balls.
- Let everything set until the decorations are firm.
Notes
- Chill the Oreo balls before dipping to prevent them from falling apart.
- Use high-quality chocolate for a smooth, professional-looking coating.
- If the chocolate is too thick, add a teaspoon of coconut oil to thin it out.
- Let the chocolate set completely before handling to avoid smudging.
