Ingredients
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.
