These delightful and easy-to-make Oreo Balls combine crushed Oreo cookies and cream cheese, coated in chocolate, making them an irresistible treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 1 package Oreo cookies (about 14.3 oz)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup chocolate chips or melting chocolate (milk or dark, as preferred)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Sprinkles (optional for decoration)
Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients, including Oreo cookies, cream cheese, chocolate for coating, and optional ingredients like vanilla extract or sprinkles.
- Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse them until they become fine crumbs, or crush them in a zip-top bag using a rolling pin.
- In a large bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and softened cream cheese. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
- Roll the mixture into small balls, about one inch in size, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Freeze the balls for about 30 minutes to help set the mixture.
- Melt your chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler.
- Dip each ball into the melted chocolate using a fork to coat evenly, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
- If using sprinkles, add them while the chocolate is still wet.
- Allow the chocolate-covered Oreo Balls to sit until the chocolate hardens, or place them in the fridge to speed up the process.
- Once the chocolate has set, enjoy your Oreo Balls or store them for later.
Notes
Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage, using wax paper between layers if needed.
