These Golden Oreo Easter Egg Truffles are so pretty and so delicious! A fun holiday treat that is easy to make.
Back in 2009 I made 175 Oreo Truffles for an event. I decided to change that recipe up a little bit by using Golden Oreos to make an Easter version.
How to Make Easter Egg Truffles
- Crush Oreos in a blender or food processor.
- Blend in cream cheese.
- Form dough into little balls of goodness.
Because Easter is coming I thought they would be cute as little egg shapes of goodness so I just formed them into an egg shape by pushing one end of the dough into a soft point.
Then pop them back in the refrigerator to let them firm up. Then they are ready to dip into some white chocolate flavored coating for some extra goodness.
How to Dip Truffles in Chocolate
- Melt chocolate in a microwave safe container until chocolate is smooth.
- After they have firmed up in the freezer I put a toothpick into each one to use as I dip them in the melted chocolate. I like using Wilton Candy Melts.
- After dipping truffle into chocolate gently tap it on the side of the glass so allow excess chocolate to drip off. Then place it on a parchment covered sheet.
- Allow the chocolate to set up and then gently remove the tooth pick. You will be left with a small hole in the truffle. Use your toothpick and some of the left over chocolate to fill the hole. If it doesn’t look perfect don’t worry you are going to be drizzling more chocolate over the top.
Melt some pastel colored Wilton Melts and put them into a freezer zipper bag (the freezer ones are heavier and the chocolate is hot). Snip a small hole in the corner of the bag.
Then drizzle away. I also add some colored sprinkles because everything is better with sprinkles.
Keep them refrigerated until ready to serve. I think they taste better chilled than at room temperature.
A fun little treat to add to your Easter baskets, serve at your Easter Brunch or give to your neighbors as a treat.

Here in Florida there are a few other companies that make vanilla cream sandwich cookie. Not sure about the density and moisture content compared to Oreo’s brand. I’ve used them in other projects in my classroom food preps.

The brands include Keebler, Snackwells, Murray’s, and store brands

These look yummy and im so happy to see that peanut butter wasn’t one of the ingredients (we have one that’s very allergic)…..i do have a question tho, I’m not a big fan of chocolate and i have never seen the golden Oreos where i live (ont., Canada)? Lol ihhave never looked for them really but still have never noticed them! Is there another cookie i could use and does it have to have a creamy filling like Oreos?
Leigh Anne says
Tish,
You can just use regular Oreos and instead of dipping them in chocolate just crush up about 9 other Oreos and roll the truffle ball in that. But if you don’t like regular Oreos I would just look to see what other cream filled cookie you can find. Maybe a maple filled sandwich cookie??

Those look too cute! Perfect for Easter! Pinned it!
Debbie C says
Hi Leigh Anne!
These look so good, and a nice change from the chocolate Oreos. I have a question- where do you use the first 9 crushed Oreos?
Thanks!
Leigh Anne says
Oops – forgot to delete that. With the original recipe I used those crumbs to roll the balls in but this time I dipped them in chocolate. I fixed the recipe – thanks!
Chrissy says
Hi. It’s still not fixed…I, too, was wondering what to do with the 9 crushed Oreos.
So, do NOT crush the 9 Oreos. Set them aside to snack on while making these delicious balls of goodness. I’m not a “baker” but this? I can do! Thanks!
Leigh Anne says
Sorry about that – the way I originally made them I rolled them in the 9 crushed Oreos, this time I dipped them in chocolate and I just forgot to delete the 9 crushed. But it really is fixed now!
Norma says
What do you do with the 9 crushed Oreos that you set aside
Leigh Anne says
Norma, Please note I updated the recipe. I originally used it to roll the little truffles in but this time I dipped them in chocolate so you won’t need it.
