Oreo Balls for Christmas

Oreo Balls for Christmas

Oreo Balls for Christmas are a festive, no-bake treat that combines crushed Oreos with creamy filling and a chocolatey coating. With just a handful of ingredients, these easy-to-make desserts can be decorated with red and green sprinkles, making them a perfect addition to your holiday gatherings.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 24 Oreo balls 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (14 oz) Oreo cookies, finely crushed.
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened.
  • 12 oz white chocolate, melted.
  • 12 oz milk or dark chocolate, melted.
  • Red and green sprinkles or colored icing for decoration.

Instructions

  1. Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely crushed Oreo cookies with the softened cream cheese. Mix until it reaches a dough-like consistency – it should be smooth and well-blended. If you have a food processor, it can make this step a breeze!
  2. Shape the Oreo Balls: Scoop about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a small ball between your palms. Place each ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them out slightly.
  3. Chill the Balls: Pop the tray in the refrigerator and let the Oreo balls chill for about 30 minutes. This step helps firm them up, making them easier to dip.
  4. Dip in Chocolate: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each Oreo ball in melted white or milk/dark chocolate. Lift each ball carefully, allowing the excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Place them back on the parchment paper.
  5. Decorate with Festive Colors: Before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle each ball with red and green sprinkles or drizzle with colored icing. This adds a festive, Christmas look!
  6. Let the Chocolate Set: Let the chocolate coating firm up at room temperature, or pop the tray back in the fridge to speed up the process.
  7. Store and Serve: Store your Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator, serving them chilled.

Notes

  • Add a Twist: For a little extra crunch, add crushed candy canes to the Oreo mixture. This will add a subtle peppermint flavor, perfect for Christmas!
  • Choose the Right Chocolate: White chocolate gives a snow-like coating, but you can use dark chocolate for a bolder, more sophisticated flavor. Try both for a beautiful contrast!
  • Use a Toothpick or Fork: When dipping, a fork or toothpick can be helpful to lift the balls out of the chocolate without too much mess.
  • Storing: Keep them chilled to maintain their firmness. Stored properly in an airtight container, they’ll stay fresh for up to a week.
