Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 food processor or rolling pin
  • 1 spoon or spatula
  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 parchment paper
  • 1 microwave-safe bowl
  • 1 fork

Ingredients
  

  • 36 cookies Oreo cookies
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened, at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • 16 oz white or dark chocolate for coating, melted.
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil optional, for smooth coating.
  • ΒΌ cup crushed decorative candies or sprinkles for topping, optional.

Instructions
 

  • Crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor or place them in a zip-top bag and use a rolling pin to crush them into fine crumbs.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies with the softened cream cheese. Mix until fully combined and the mixture is thick and moldable.
  • Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 15 minutes to allow the balls to firm up.
  • Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth. Optionally, add coconut oil for a smoother consistency.
  • Remove the Oreo balls from the freezer and dip each ball into the melted chocolate using a fork, ensuring they are fully coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off.
  • Place the chocolate-covered Oreo balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle crushed candies or sprinkles on top before the chocolate sets, if desired.
  • Refrigerate the coated Oreo balls for 10-15 minutes or until the chocolate has fully hardened.

Notes

Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
You can use different flavors of Oreos for variation, such as mint or peanut butter.
Store the Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
