Directions
Step 1: Make the Oreo Mixture
- Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they turn into fine crumbs. (No food processor? Crush them in a sealed bag using a rolling pin!)
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs and softened cream cheese. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze for 20-30 minutes until firm.
Step 2: Coat the Oreo Balls
- Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Using a fork or toothpick, dip each Oreo ball into the melted white chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off.
- Immediately roll each dipped ball in shredded coconut, ensuring they are fully coated to create the fluffy bunny fur effect.
- Place the coated Oreo balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 3: Decorate the Bunny Butts!
- Shape small bunny feet and ears using pink fondant. Use a toothpick to add tiny details for the toes!
- Attach the fondant feet to the base of each Oreo ball and gently press to secure.
- Insert the fondant ears on top, making sure they stay in place.
Step 4: Let the Chocolate Set & Serve
- Allow the chocolate to fully set at room temperature or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until firm.
- Serve and enjoy these adorable, bunny-shaped Oreo truffles!

frequently asked questions
1. Can I use double-stuffed Oreos?
It’s best to use classic Oreos because double-stuffed has too much filling, making the mixture too soft.
2. What if I don’t have fondant for the feet and ears?
You can use:
✔️ White and pink candy melts – Pipe small feet onto parchment paper.
✔️ Marshmallow pieces – Cut mini marshmallows for the feet.
✔️ Pink icing – Draw details directly onto the Oreo balls.
3. How do I prevent the chocolate from getting too thick?
If the chocolate is too thick, stir in ½ teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable shortening to thin it out.
4. Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! These store well in the fridge or freezer, so you can make them a few days in advance.
5. How do I keep my Oreo balls from cracking?
Make sure the Oreo balls aren’t too cold when dipping them. If they’re frozen solid, let them sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before coating.
