Ingredients

36 Oreo cookies
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
12 oz semisweet or white chocolate (melted)
Optional toppings: crushed Oreos, sprinkles, or drizzle of white/dark chocolate

Instructions

Step 1: Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor. Set aside 2 tablespoons if you want to sprinkle some on top later.
Step 2: In a bowl, mix the crushed Oreos with the softened cream cheese until fully combined into a thick dough.
Step 3: Scoop and roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 4: Freeze the balls for 20–30 minutes until firm.
Step 5: Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off, then return them to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 6: While the chocolate coating is still wet, decorate with crushed Oreos or your choice of toppings.
Step 7: Refrigerate for at least 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.

Tips & Variations

For a different flavor, try using white chocolate or mix semisweet and white chocolate for dipping.
Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the chocolate coating for a sweet-salty contrast.
Use flavored Oreos (like Mint or Birthday Cake) to customize the taste.
If you don’t have a food processor, crush the Oreos by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin.

Storage

Store the Oreo Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze them for up to three months. To enjoy, thaw in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before serving.
