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
- 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!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
- 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.
- 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.
