Plus, they’re a total crowd-pleaser—kids love them, adults love them, and they make the perfect addition to any Easter dessert spread.
Let’s hop right in and make some adorable Easter desserts Oreo balls!
Ingredients for Easter Egg Oreo Balls
To make these delicious, no-bake treats, you only need a few simple ingredients:
- 18 Double Stuf Oreo cookies – Any variety works, but classic chocolate Oreos give the best flavor! If you go with regular Oreos, instead of Double Stuf, make sure to double the amount of cream cheese.
- 2 oz. cream cheese – This helps bind everything together and makes the filling irresistibly creamy. I recommend you use 4 oz if you use regular Oreos.
- Chocolate candy melts (Around 20 oz total)– I used white and yellow chocolate and drizzled some orange and pink on, but you can use whatever colors you want. You can also just use all white chocolate and then use food coloring to get some fun colors.
- Coconut oil – I like to use some to thin out my candy melts to make them easier to work with. Vegetable oil also works. Coconut oil does tend to leave just a tinge of a coconut-y flavor behind, but I kind of like it.
Special tools:
- Easter egg shaped candy molds – Optional, but very, very helpful for making Oreo balls that are truly shaped like Easter eggs
- Small icing bottle – Also optional, but nice for adding an easy decorative drizzle to your Oreo balls
That’s it! Just four ingredients, and you’re on your way to making the cutest Easter egg Oreo balls ever.

How to Make Easter Oreo Balls
Making these treats is so easy, and you don’t even need to turn on the oven. Here’s how:
Step 1: Mix the Oreos and Cream Cheese
Use a food processor to pulse the Oreos and cream cheese until they form a thick dough
Step 3: Shape into Easter Eggs
Roll small amounts of the mixture into balls, then gently press them into the molds. Remove them from the molds and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for about 20–30 minutes. This helps them firm up and makes dipping easier.
Step 4: Dip in Candy Coating
Melt the candy melts according to the package instructions. Add a bit of coconut oil and mix it in until it’s nice and smooth. It’s easier to work with melting candies that are just a bit on the water-y side.
Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled Oreo egg into the melted candy coating, making sure it’s fully covered. Let any excess drip off before placing them back onto the parchment paper to set.
You’ll probably have some dried chocolate stuck around the bottom of your Oreo balls. Carefully break off the excess with your fingers.
Step 5: Decorate!
While the coating is still wet, add sprinkles if using. You can also drizzle another color of melted candy, on top. I like to use a small icing bottle with a plain round tip for that. Let them set at room temperature or pop them in the fridge to harden faster.
And that’s it! Your Easter Oreo balls are ready to serve and enjoy.
Pro Tips for the Best Easter Oreo Balls
- Chill before dipping – Freezing the Oreo eggs for at least 20 minutes prevents them from falling apart in the candy coating.
- Thin out the candy melts – If your candy coating seems too thick, stir in a little coconut oil or vegetable oil to make dipping smoother. Also, if you put some fun colored candy melts in an icing bottle, you’ll definitely want to add some oil to that to ensure it doesn’t get stuck in the bottle.
- Work in batches – Take a few Oreo eggs out of the freezer at a time so they stay firm while you dip.
- Store properly – Keep your Easter egg Oreo balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Not that they’ll last that long!
FAQs
How many Oreo truffles does this recipe make? That would depend on the size of the Easter egg molds you use, or how big you shape your Oreo balls if you don’t use a mold. I only had tiny molds that had eggs that were about an inch tall. I got about 36 small Easter egg Oreo balls out of that. If you use larger molds, however, you’ll get less.
Can I use regular Oreos instead of the Double Stuf? Sure thing! If you can’t find Double Stuf Oreos, you can definitely use just regular Oreos. However, if you use regular Oreos, make sure to use more cream cheese so you get the right consistency. For this recipe, I would go with 18 regular Oreos and 4 ounces of cream cheese.
What if I don’t have Easter egg shaped candy molds? That’s totally fine! You can try to shape your Oreo balls into egg shapes by hand. I will say that it’s a bit tricky, but definitely doable!
How can I make these without having to buy a bunch of different colors of candy melts? You can definitely just buy white chocolate candy melts to do your “main” background coating. Then, melt some smaller amounts of white chocolate and use food coloring to color them. Drizzle the colored chocolate on top of the white chocolate to create some simple decorations.
Can I use white chocolate instead of candy melts? Absolutely! Just be sure to melt it gently and stir in a bit of coconut oil to keep it smooth for dipping.`
How do I make these dairy-free? Swap the cream cheese for a dairy-free alternative, and use dairy-free white chocolate for dipping.
Can I freeze Easter egg Oreo balls? Yes! Store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. Just thaw in the fridge before serving.
There you have it—adorable, delicious, and totally easy Easter egg Oreo balls! Whether you’re making them for an Easter party, gifting them in cute little treat bags, or just enjoying them with your family, these no-bake Oreo truffles are sure to be a hit.

- ` Easter egg shaped mold Optional but very helpful
Ingredients
- 18 Double Stuf Oreos
- 2 oz cream cheese
- 20 oz melting candies in various Easter colors Or just use white chocolate and food coloring for the fun colors
- 1-2 Tbsp coconut oil or vegetable oil. Optional to help thin out the texture of your melting candies.
Instructions
- Pulse Oreos and cream cheese in the food processor until a thick dough forms.
- Press your Oreo ball dough into Easter egg shaped molds. Carefully remove them from the molds and place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper (or some other flat surface).
- Chill your molded Oreo balls in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to make it easier to coat them in chocolate.
- Melt a decent amount (I try to work with approximately 8 ounces at a time) of your "base color" candy melts according to the package instructions.
- Add a bit of coconut oil to your melted candy melts and stir until everything is smooth. The coconut oil thins the texture of the candy melts, making them a bit easier to work with.
- Dip your chilled Oreo balls in the melted chocolate. Use a fork or a dipping tool to carefully remove them from the chocolate and set them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper to set.
- If you wish to decorate with sprinkles, make sure to do that before your chocolate coating sets.
- After the initial chocolate coating has set, you'll probably have some extra hardened chocolate pooled up at the bottom of your Oreo balls. Carefully break off excess chocolate with your hands.
- If you want to decorate your Easter egg Oreo balls with fun colors, melt some more candy melts in those colors (or use white chocolate candy melts and add food coloring for color). Make sure to add a bit of coconut oil to these to help them drizzle better.
- Drizzle fun colors on your Oreo balls. Allow everything to set, and then store your finished Easter Oreo balls in the fridge.
