Ingredients
Oreo cookiesclassic or flavored 36 cookies (1 package)
Cream cheesesoftened 8 oz (1 block)
Chocolatemelted, for coating 12 oz (dark, milk, or white)
Optional toppingssprinkles, crushed Oreos As needed
Instructions
Step 1: Crush the Oreos
Start by turning your Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Use a food processor for the best results, but if you don’t have one, a resealable plastic bag and rolling pin work just as well. Set aside 1–2 tablespoons of crumbs for garnish if desired.
Step 2: Mix with Cream Cheese
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese. Use a spatula or your hands to mix until the texture is smooth and consistent.
Step 3: Shape the Mixture
Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 4: Chill the Balls
Pop the baking sheet into the refrigerator for 30 minutes, or speed up the process by freezing them for 15 minutes. This step ensures the balls are firm enough to dip into melted chocolate.
Step 5: Coat in Chocolate
Melt your chocolate using a microwave or double boiler. Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Use a fork or toothpick to lift the ball out of the chocolate, letting the excess drip off.
Step 6: Decorate and Chill Again
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the reserved Oreo crumbs, colorful sprinkles, or other toppings on top. Place the balls back on the parchment-lined tray and refrigerate until the chocolate sets, usually about 20 minutes.
