Ingredients:

  • 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or melting chocolate
  • Optional toppings: white chocolate for drizzle, sprinkles, or crushed nuts

Step by Step:

  1. Crush the Oreos: Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Alternatively, you can place them in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
  2. Mix with Cream Cheese: In a bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the softened cream cheese. Mix until well blended.
  3. Form the Balls: Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, about 1-inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Chill: Refrigerate the Oreo balls for about 20-30 minutes to firm up.
  5. Melt the Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
  6. Dip the Balls: Dip each Oreo ball into the melted chocolate using a fork, letting the excess chocolate drip off. Place them back on the parchment paper.
  7. Decorate: If desired, drizzle with melted white chocolate or sprinkle with toppings of your choice.
  8. Chill Again: Refrigerate the Oreo balls until the chocolate sets, about 1 hour.
