Ingredients
Scale
1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies
8 oz cream cheese, softened
16 oz semi-sweet chocolate melting wafers or chips
Instructions
Place the entire package of Oreo cookies, cream, and filling included, into a food processor. Pulse until you have fine crumbs.
Transfer the crumbs to a medium bowl. Add the softened cream cheese. Mix with a sturdy spoon or your hands until the mixture is completely combined and forms a thick dough.
Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should get approximately 30 balls. Place the rolled balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill the Oreo balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This step is necessary to firm them up before dipping.
Melt the chocolate according to package directions. You can use a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval.
Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork to lift the ball out, allowing excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
Place the coated ball back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. If you want, immediately sprinkle with crushed Oreos or festive sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet.
Allow the chocolate coating to set completely at room temperature, or speed up the process by chilling them for another 15 minutes.
Notes
For a variation, substitute 4 ounces of the cream cheese with 4 ounces of softened peanut butter for Peanut Butter Oreo Balls.
If you want a festive look, use white chocolate wafers for dipping and add green food coloring before dipping for Christmas Oreo Balls.
If the dough feels too soft to roll, chill it for an additional 15 minutes before forming the balls.
