Step 3: Melt the chocolate for dipping

In a microwave safe container, place a little more than ½ of bag of the candy melts and the coconut oil and microwave until fully melted. Using a fork, dip each truffle into the candy melts to fully coat, gently shake off any excess, and place the truffle back on the tray to harden. Repeat until all are fully coated. Set aside to firm up.

Step 4: Finish the bunny prints

Once the feet are dry, flip them over so the flat side is up. In a small container, melt about 2 tablespoons of the candy melts add 1 drop of pink food coloring, and pour into a piping bag. On the flat side of the “foot” pipe 3 small dots at the top and one larger circle underneath to create a bunny footprint. Repeat until all the feet are done.

💭 Tips

Here are a few additional tips to ensure your Easter truffles turn out perfectly every time:

  • For smooth and even truffles, ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing with the Oreo crumbs. This makes the mixture easier to blend and roll.
  • If the truffle mixture sticks to your hands while rolling, lightly dust your hands with powdered sugar or wear food-safe gloves.
  • When dipping the truffles in melted candy, tap the fork on the edge of the bowl to remove excess coating. This helps achieve a smooth finish.

⁉️ FAQ

Do you have questions about this recipe? Here are the answers to the most commonly asked questions.

Can I freeze the Bunny Butt Truffles?

Absolutely! These truffles can be frozen for up to 3 months. To do so, place the fully assembled and hardened truffles in a single layer on a baking sheet to flash-freeze them. Once they are solid, transfer them to an airtight container or a zip-top freezer bag.

How can I stop my Oreo balls from falling apart when I dip them?

To prevent your Oreo balls from falling apart during the dipping process, ensure they are sufficiently chilled and firm. Keeping them in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before dipping them into the melted candy coating will help maintain their shape.
