Oreo Balls Chocolate Treats (Print-Friendly Version)

Crushed Oreos combined with cream cheese, dipped in smooth chocolate—easy, rich, perfect for sharing.

# Ingredients Required:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 405 g regular Oreo cookies (1 package), with filling
02 - 227 g cream cheese, softened to room temperature
03 - 454 g chocolate for coating (white, dark, or milk chocolate)

→ Optional Decorative Toppings

04 - Crushed Oreo cookies
05 - Holiday sprinkles
06 - Colored sanding sugar
07 - Drizzle of contrasting chocolate

# Detailed Directions:

01 - Place all Oreo cookies, including the cream filling, in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed into even crumbs. Alternatively, use a large zip-top bag and a rolling pin to crush the cookies.
02 - Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a large mixing bowl. Add the softened cream cheese and blend with an electric mixer until the mixture is thoroughly combined with no white streaks remaining.
03 - Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. Scoop portions of the mixture, approximately 2.5 cm in diameter, using a cookie scoop or measuring spoon. Roll each portion between your palms to form smooth, even balls. Arrange on the prepared baking sheets.
04 - Place the shaped balls in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes until they are firm.
05 - While the balls are chilling, melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second intervals and stirring between each, or use a double boiler over simmering water, stirring until fully melted.
06 - Remove a few balls from the freezer at a time, keeping the rest chilled. Dip each ball fully in the melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place the coated balls back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
07 - Add desired toppings such as crushed Oreos, sprinkles, sanding sugar, or a chocolate drizzle immediately before the chocolate sets. Let the chocolate coating firm up completely before serving or storing.

# Helpful Advice:

01 - For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and allow it to soften at room temperature before mixing.
02 - If working in a warm kitchen, chill the balls between batches to maintain their shape during dipping.
