8 oz cream cheese
24 oz white almond bark or white chocolate
mini Marshmallows
pink sanding sugar
small heart sprinkles
blue gel food color
toothpicks

Instructions

Making the Oreo truffles:

Place oreo cookies, filling and all, into a blender or food processor. Pulse until they become a crumbled powder texture and no large crumbs remain.
Transfer the cookies to the bowl of a stand mixer that is fitted with the paddle attachment, or a mixing bowl with a hand mixer. Combine the Oreo’s with softened cream cheese and mix for 1 to 2 minutes, or until a dough forms.
Use a small cookie scoop, or spoon, to form 2 tablespoon sized balls. Roll gently in your hands until a circle forms.
Place the truffles onto a parchment, or silicone baking mat, lined cookie sheet and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to a few hours.

Preparing Decorations

While the truffles are chilling, start prepping the ears. Take a mini marshmallow and squeeze between your fingers to slightly flatten. Cut in half using clean scissors.
Dip the cut sticky side of each marshmallow into pink sanding sugar. Set aside and repeat until you have enough ears for each bunny.

Assembling Truffles

Remove the truffles from the refrigerator. Prepare for dipping by carefully pushing two truffles onto a toothpick. DO NOT push the toothpick all the way through the second truffle.
Melt the chocolate according to the package directions, adding a little shortening if the chocolate is too thick for dipping. It's helpful to do this in a measuring cup or deep glass.
Holding the end of a toothpick, quickly dip a truffle bundle into the chocolate, covering the entire surface. Let excess chocolate drip of and place onto a fresh parchment paper.
Working quickly, attach the ears on the top of the ball that does not have the toothpick poking out and an upside down heart for the nose.
Let the chocolate sit until fully set, about 20 minutes.
Carefully pull out the toothpick from each druffly. Dip the end of one mini marshmallow in chocolate and place over the hole left with the toothpick. Use food color or an edible marker to create the eyes.
