Description
Enjoy making Oreo Balls with only three ingredients. A simple, delicious treat that’s perfect for holidays, parties, or any sweet craving.
Ingredients
- Oreo Cookies: 36 cookies – The star of the recipe, providing the iconic chocolate cookie crunch.
- Cream Cheese: 8 ounces, softened – Gives the Oreo filling its creamy texture.
- Chocolate Chips: 2 cups – For coating the balls; you can use dark, milk, or white chocolate, depending on your preference.
- Optional Decorations: Sprinkles, crushed nuts, or extra chocolate for drizzling – To add extra flair and flavor to the balls.
Instructions
- Prepare the Oreos: Start by placing the Oreo cookies in a food processor. Pulse until the cookies are finely crushed. If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Mix with Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos and softened cream cheese. Use a spatula or your hands to mix the ingredients until fully combined. The mixture should form a dough-like consistency that holds together when rolled into balls.
- Shape the Balls: Use a spoon or cookie scoop to portion out the mixture, and roll it into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper.
- Chill the Balls: Refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes. This will firm them up and make it easier to dip them in chocolate.
- Melt the Chocolate: While the balls are chilling, melt the chocolate chips. Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. You can also use a double boiler for melting the chocolate if you prefer.
- Dip the Balls: Once the Oreo balls are firm, dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork to lift the ball out of the chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off before placing the ball back on the baking sheet.
- Let the Chocolate Set: Once all the balls are dipped, return them to the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
- Serve: Once the chocolate has hardened, your Oreo Balls are ready to be served. Enjoy them immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
