Bunny Butt Oreo Balls Recipe

Why You’ll Love Bunny Butt Oreo Balls Recipe

I enjoy this recipe because it’s easy to make, doesn’t require baking, and doubles as both a dessert and decoration. I like how customizable it is, from the bunny feet to the fluffy tails, and the flavor is always a hit with both kids and adults.

Ingredients

(Note: All ingredient amounts are listed in the recipe card below.)

1 package (15.25 oz) Oreo cookies (use the original variety for best results)
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
2 cups white chocolate chips (or chocolate melts for coating)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (optional, to thin the chocolate coating)
Mini marshmallows (for bunny tails)
Pink or white candy melts (for the bunny feet)
1 teaspoon pink sugar or sprinkles (for decoration)
½ cup coconut flakes (optional, for the bunny fur effect)
1–2 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional for extra flavor)

Directions

I start by crushing the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a zip-top bag and rolling pin. I transfer the crumbs to a bowl and mix them with the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract if I’m using it. I stir until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.

I cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes so it’s easier to shape. Once chilled, I scoop out portions and roll them into balls, placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. I gently flatten the top of each ball to create space for the bunny tail.

I melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each round until smooth. If needed, I stir in a little vegetable oil to thin the coating. I dip each Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off before placing it back on the parchment.

While the coating is still soft, I press a mini marshmallow into the center of each ball to create the bunny tail. I melt the candy melts and use a toothpick or piping bag to draw little bunny feet on each ball. If I want a furry look, I sprinkle coconut flakes, pink sugar, or sprinkles over the coating before it sets.

I place the tray back into the refrigerator and chill the Oreo balls for 1 to 2 hours until fully set.

Servings and Timing

I make this recipe to serve about 24 to 30 Oreo balls, depending on size. The prep time takes me around 20 minutes, and the chilling time brings the total time to approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes.

Variations

I sometimes use dark or milk chocolate instead of white chocolate for a different look. I also like coloring the candy melts to match different holidays or themes. When I want extra texture, I roll the balls lightly in coconut before dipping.

Storage/Reheating

I store the Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. I also freeze them for longer storage and thaw them in the fridge before serving. I don’t reheat them, as they’re best enjoyed chilled.
