Ingredients
Scale
Oreo Balls
- 36 Oreo cookies
- 1 (8-ounce) package brick-style cream cheese, softened
Chocolate Coating
- 16 ounces chocolate (semi-sweet, milk, or white), for melting
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
- Crush Oreos: Using a blender or food processor, crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a mixing bowl and reserve 1-2 tablespoons for sprinkling later.
- Mix Cream Cheese: Add softened cream cheese to the Oreo crumbs. Using a handheld mixer, blend the mixture until fully combined into a smooth, uniform dough.
- Form Balls: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into balls with your hands. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze them for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
- Melt Chocolate: Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl by heating in short intervals, stirring frequently, until smooth and fully melted.
- Coat Oreo Balls: Dip each frozen Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully covered. Place them back on the baking sheet. For extra garnish, sprinkle the reserved Oreo crumbs on top while the chocolate is still wet.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the coated balls for at least 20 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden before serving.
Notes
- Use any type of chocolate you prefer: semi-sweet, milk, or white chocolate.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
- Freezing the balls before dipping helps them hold their shape and makes coating easier.
- Store the Oreo balls in the refrigerator to keep them firm and fresh.
