Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 36 Oreo cookies (classic or flavored)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 12 oz melting chocolate (semisweet, milk, white, or dark)

Optional Add-Ons & Toppings:

  • Sprinkles – For a pop of color
  • Crushed Oreos – Extra cookie crumbs for garnish
  • Drizzle – Melted white chocolate, colored candy melts, or caramel

Chopped nuts or shredded coconut – For added texture

Instructions

Step 1: Crush the Oreos

  • Place Oreos in a food processor and pulse until finely ground.
  • Alternatively, place in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.
  • Reserve 2 tbsp of crumbs for garnish.

Step 2: Mix the Crumbs with Cream Cheese

  • In a large bowl, mix the crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese.
  • Stir until fully combined and smooth.

Step 3: Shape into Balls

  • Roll the mixture into small balls (1–1.5 inches in diameter).
  • Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • This recipe yields approximately 30–40 balls.

Step 4: Chill the Oreo Balls

  • Freeze the Oreo balls for 15–20 minutes to firm up.

Step 5: Melt the Chocolate

  • Microwave chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
  • Alternatively, use a double boiler to melt the chocolate.

Step 6: Coat the Oreo Balls in Chocolate

  • Dip each Oreo ball into melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool.
  • Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing them back on the parchment-lined sheet.

Step 7: Decorate & Garnish

  • Immediately sprinkle with reserved Oreo crumbs, sprinkles, or other toppings.
  • If adding a drizzle, wait until the chocolate has set before decorating.

Step 8: Chill to Set

  • Refrigerate for 30 minutes (or freeze for 15 minutes) until chocolate hardens.

Notes

  • Chill Before Coating: Keeps the Oreo balls firm for easier dipping.
  • Use High-Quality Chocolate: For a smooth, glossy finish.
  • Thin the Chocolate: If too thick, add a teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable shortening.

Store Properly: Keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
