- Using a food processor or a large Ziploc bag and a rolling pin, crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. You can leave a few bigger chunks for added texture, but generally, a fine crumb is ideal.
- In a large bowl, combine the crushed Oreos and the softened cream cheese. Use a spatula or your hands to mix them together until well combined. The mixture should be thick and sticky.
2. Shape the Balls:
- Roll the Oreo and cream cheese mixture into 1-inch balls. You can use a cookie scoop to make this process easier and more uniform.
- Place the formed balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
3. Coat the Balls with Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted. You can add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to help the chocolate coat more smoothly.
- Using a fork or a toothpick, dip each Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Tap off any excess chocolate and return the ball to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- If desired, sprinkle crushed Oreos, sprinkles, or drizzle more chocolate over the tops for extra decoration.
4. Chill and Set:
- Place the coated Oreo balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set and the balls are firm.
- Once chilled, they are ready to serve!
Tips:
- Flavor variations: You can mix things up by using different flavored Oreos (like mint or peanut butter) for a unique twist.
- Freezing: These Oreo balls freeze well! If you want to make them ahead of time, simply store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2-3 weeks. Just let them thaw for a few minutes before eating.
- Chocolate options: Feel free to use milk chocolate, white chocolate, or even dark chocolate depending on your preference.
These Oreo Balls are incredibly simple to make, yet they taste so rich and indulgent! They’re always a hit at parties or family gatherings. Enjoy! 🍪🍫
