Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 14.3 oz 14.3 oz package (36 cookies) Golden Oreos, crushed into crumbs
  • 8 oz 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 10 oz 10 oz white candy coating
  • 1 oz Additional 1 oz of white candy coating per color, for decorating

Method
 

Preparations
  1. Add the Golden Oreo cookies to a food processor or blender and crush into crumbs.
  2. Mix the cream cheese and cookie crumbs together in a bowl until well combined. You should easily be able to form balls.
  3. Form Easter eggs from the cookie mixture using about 1 1/2 tablespoons per egg.
  4. Put the eggs in the fridge for about 1 hour to firm up a bit.
Coating
  1. Melt the 10 ounces of white candy coating and dip the chilled eggs into the melted candy coating. Set on parchment paper to dry.
  2. Use a toothpick for dipping and put the toothpick into the bottom of the egg when dipping to avoid breaking.
  3. Lightly shake off excess candy coating, then set the egg on parchment paper and gently twist the toothpick while pulling it out.
  4. Use a little dab of candy coating to fill in the hole left by the toothpick.
Decoration
  1. Once dry, use about 1 ounce of each color you have prepared to decorate the eggs.
  2. Melt your colored candy coating, adding gel icing color until desired shade is achieved. Pipe or drizzle colors over the Oreo eggs.
Storage
  1. Store Oreo eggs in the fridge. They should be good for about 1 week.

Notes

Use simple tools and clear steps. This recipe is forgiving and fun. Keep candy coating warm and smooth for best finish. Work in small batches so the eggs do not warm or fall apart.
