🔪 How to Make Bunny Butt Truffles
Making these sweet Easter truffles so simple. Just follow these step-by-step directions or check out the recipe card at the bottom of this post and you will have a delicious recipe that your whole family will love in no time at all.
Step 1: Make the truffle mixture
In a food processor, place all the oreos and grind them to a fine crumb. Add in the cream cheese, lemon zest, lemon extract, and vanilla. Pulse until it comes together and starts to form a ball.
Step 2: Shape into balls
Scoop out small amounts and roll into a ball about the size of a teaspoon. Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Place the balls in the freezer for about 30 minutes to harden.
Step 3: Make the feet
In a measuring cup, melt about ¼ c of the candy melts pour into a piping bag and cut a very small hole at the end of the bag. On a parchment paper, pipe small ovals for the feet, about ½” long. Set aside and allow to harden.
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.
Step 5: Finish the Easter truffles
Gather the feet the truffles and the white chocolate chips to assemble. Melt the remaining candy melts for “glue”, and place them in a piping bag for ease of assembly. Using the melts as the glue, put a generous dot on the back of each foot and attach two feet to each truffle. Attach 1 white chocolate chip for the tail. Set the truffles aside to harden fully before serving.

💭 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.
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.
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.
