Edible Dinosaur Eggs
Ingredients:
– 1 package Oreo cookies
– 1 8-ounce package cream cheese
– White candy melts
– Colored candy melts
– Oil
Directions:
1. **Prepare the Oreo Mixture**: Start by placing the Oreo cookies in a food processor. Pulse the cookies until they’re finely crumbled.
2. **Combine with Cream Cheese**: Add the softened cream cheese to the crumbled Oreos. Pulse again until the mixture is well combined and forms a cohesive ball.
3. **Shape the Eggs**: Take 1-2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape them into oval dinosaur egg shapes. Place each egg on a parchment-lined tray.
4. **Chill the Eggs**: Put the tray with the shaped eggs in the fridge for about 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
5. **Melt White Candy**: While the eggs chill, follow the package instructions to melt the white candy melts. If the melted chocolate seems too thick, add a small amount of oil to thin it out.
6. **Dip the Eggs**: Once the white candy melts are ready, dip each egg into the melted chocolate. Tap gently to remove any excess chocolate and return each egg to the tray.
7. **Set in the Fridge**: Place the tray back in the fridge for another 10-15 minutes until the white chocolate coating is solid.
8. **Prepare Colored Candy**: Melt the colored candy melts and mix in about 1/4 teaspoon of oil to achieve the right consistency.
9. **Add Splatter Effect**: Take a hard bristle toothbrush, dip it into the melted colored chocolate, and flick the bristles over the eggs to create a fun splatter effect.
10. **Final Chill**: Return the tray to the fridge for 5 more minutes to let the chocolate splatters harden.
11. **Enjoy**: Your Edible Dinosaur Eggs are now ready to impress! Enjoy every crunchy, creamy bite!
Tips & Variations:
– For a fun twist, you can add a few drops of food coloring to the cream cheese mixture before shaping the eggs. This will create a marbled effect when dipped in chocolate.
– Consider using other types of cookies, like chocolate chip or peanut butter, to create your own unique flavors while making these dinosaur eggs.
