Ingredients
Scale
Cookies and Cream Cheese Mixture
- 16 ounces OREO Chocolate Sandwich Cookies (divided)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
Chocolate Coating
- 2 (8 ounce) packages semi-sweet baking chocolate, melted
Instructions
- Prepare cookie crumbs: Crush 9 of the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or a zip lock bag and rolling pin; set these aside for topping later. Then, crush the remaining 36 Oreos to fine crumbs and place them into a medium bowl.
- Make cookie ball mixture: Add the softened cream cheese to the crushed Oreos in the bowl and mix thoroughly until well combined. Roll the mixture into approximately 42 balls, each about 1 inch in diameter.
- Dip in chocolate: Dip each cookie ball into the melted semi-sweet baking chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Place the dipped balls onto a wax paper-lined tray or baking sheet.
- Sprinkle and chill: While the chocolate coating is still wet, sprinkle the reserved cookie crumbs on top of the balls for added texture and decoration. Refrigerate the Oreo balls for about 1 hour or until firm.
- Storage: Store the Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh until serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing.
- You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate with dark or milk chocolate according to preference.
- If you don’t have a food processor, crushing cookies with a rolling pin in a sealed bag works just as well.
- For an extra festive touch, consider adding sprinkles or drizzling with white chocolate.
- These treats should be kept refrigerated to maintain their shape and freshness.
