Ingredients
Scale
1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies (about 36 cookies)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
16 oz melting chocolate wafers or chocolate chips (for coating)
Instructions
Place the entire Oreo cookies, filling included, into a food processor. Pulse until you have fine crumbs.
Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a medium bowl. Add the softened cream cheese. Mix with a hand mixer or by hand until the mixture is fully combined and forms a thick dough.
Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should get approximately 30 to 35 balls. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Chill the Oreo balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until firm. This step is important for easy dipping.
Melt the chocolate wafers according to package directions. You can use a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between.
Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork to lift the ball out, tapping the fork gently on the side of the bowl to let excess chocolate drip off.
Return the coated balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
If desired, immediately sprinkle the tops with festive sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
Refrigerate the finished Oreo balls for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is completely firm.
Notes
For a smoother coating, add 1 teaspoon of vegetable shortening or coconut oil to the melting chocolate.
If you want to make Grinch Oreo Balls, use green candy melts for the coating and add red sprinkles on top.
These simple homemade candy treats store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
