Bunny Butt Oreo Balls (Print version)

Cute no-bake Oreo truffles dipped in white candy coating and decorated with marshmallow tails and pink bunny feet.

# Ingredients:

For the Oreo centers

01 - 36 Oreo cookies, about 14.3 oz (405 g)
02 - 8 oz (225 g) full-fat brick cream cheese, softened
03 - 1/4 teaspoon fine salt

For the coating

04 - 16 oz (450 g) white candy melting wafers
05 - 1 teaspoon refined coconut oil or vegetable shortening, optional

For decorating

06 - 12 mini marshmallows, cut in half crosswise for tails
07 - 2 tablespoons white sanding sugar
08 - 1/3 cup (55 g) pink candy melts
09 - Extra melted white coating for feet and attaching decorations

# Instructions:

01 - Pulse the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs in a food processor. Add the softened cream cheese and salt, then pulse until the mixture clumps together and no cream cheese streaks remain.
02 - Scoop into 24 even portions, about 1 1/2 tablespoons each, and roll into smooth balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, until firm.
03 - Press the cut side of each marshmallow half into white sanding sugar to make tails. Pipe 48 small white coating ovals on parchment for feet, then add pink melted candy dots for pads and toes. Chill until set.
04 - Melt the white candy wafers in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring between each burst. Stir in coconut oil only if the coating is too thick to dip smoothly.
05 - Dip one chilled Oreo ball at a time in the melted white coating. Lift with a fork, tap off the excess, and place on parchment.
06 - While the coating is still tacky, press one sugared marshmallow tail near the top of each ball and two feet near the bottom. Use extra melted coating as glue if needed.
07 - Refrigerate the decorated Oreo balls for 20-30 minutes, until the coating is firm. Serve chilled and keep leftovers refrigerated.

# Good to know:

01 - Best served chilled so the coating stays crisp and the cream cheese center stays firm.
02 - If the coating thickens while dipping, rewarm it briefly and stir until smooth.
