Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 14.3 oz package (36 cookies) Golden Oreos, crushed into crumbs
  • 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 10 oz white candy coating
  • 1 oz additional white candy coating per color, for decorating
  • gel icing colors

Method
 

Preparation
  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.
Dipping
  1. Melt the 10 ounces of white candy coating and dip the chilled eggs into the melted candy coating.
  2. Set on parchment paper to dry. Use a toothpick for dipping and put the toothpick into the bottom of the egg when you dip them.
  3. Lightly shake off excess candy coating, then set the egg on the parchment paper and gently twist the toothpick while pulling it out.
  4. Use a little dab of candy coating to fill in the hole where the toothpick was.
Decorating
  1. Once dry, melt your additional candy coating colors, one at a time, and add gel icing color until you have the color you want.
  2. Pipe or drizzle the colors over the Oreo eggs.

Notes

Store Oreo eggs in an airtight container in the fridge. They keep well for about 1 week. To freeze, place the chilled, coated eggs on a tray and freeze until firm, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container with parchment between layers. They will keep in the freezer for up to 2 months.
