Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 16-ounce package Oreo Sandwich Cookies These classic cookies provide the base flavor and texture for the recipe.
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese Full-fat cream cheese adds the creamy texture that binds the cookie crumbs together.
  • 16 ounces Melting Chocolate This could be candy melts, almond bark, or dark or white chocolate, used for coating the balls.
  • varies Garnishes Options include shredded coconut, chopped nuts, colored sprinkles, crushed peppermint candy, and cookie crumbs for decoration.

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Food Processor
  • Saucepan
  • Blender
  • Chef's Knife
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Start by lining your baking sheets with parchment paper or waxed paper and set them aside. This will help prevent the Oreo Balls from sticking later.
  2. Next, break apart the Oreo Sandwich Cookies and slice the cream cheese into chunks. The easier it is for your food processor, the better.
  3. Now, place the broken cookies in a food processor. Pulse them about 4 to 5 times until they turn into fine crumbs. It’s amazing how quickly these cookies can transform!
  4. Add the chunks of cream cheese to the processor with the cookie crumbs. Blend until everything is well combined and a dough forms. You want it to be sticky but not too wet.
  5. Using a cookie scoop, portion out the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each one between your palms to smooth them out before placing them on the prepared cookie sheets. Don’t forget to refrigerate them for about an hour to firm up.
  6. While the balls are chilling, melt the melting chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl according to the package directions. Alternatively, you can use a double boiler for a gentler melting method.
  7. Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, dip each refrigerated ball into the chocolate. Make sure to coat all sides evenly. This is where they start to look truly delicious!
  8. After dipping, place each chocolate-coated ball back on the prepared sheets. Allow them to sit for a couple of minutes to set. You can decorate them now by rolling them in coconut or sprinkling with additional cookie crumbs or colorful sprinkles.
