Ingredients
Scale
- 30 regular Oreo cookies, crushed
- 5–6 oz cream cheese, softened
- 10–12 oz chocolate of choice (bar preferred for melting)
- Sprinkles
- Crushed Oreos
- Chopped nuts
- Candy pieces
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to prevent sticking.
- Using a food processor or rolling pin, crush the Oreo cookies until they are finely ground to create the base texture.
- Add softened cream cheese to the crushed Oreos and mix thoroughly until a smooth, dough-like consistency forms. Add a bit more cream cheese if the mixture is too dry to hold together.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Refrigerate or freeze the balls for 15–20 minutes to firm them up and make dipping easier.
- Melt your chocolate using a double boiler or microwave it in 20-second bursts, stirring frequently until smooth.
- Using a fork, dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coating. Tap off excess chocolate and return the balls to the baking sheet.
- Immediately after dipping, decorate the balls with sprinkles, crushed Oreos, nuts, or candy before the chocolate sets.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill the balls for another 10–15 minutes until the chocolate coating is firm.
- Store the Oreo cookie balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze them for up to three months for longer storage.
Notes
- Customize toppings as desired.
- For a smoother texture, ensure cream cheese is fully softened.
- These can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge or freezer.
