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
- Prepare the Oreo Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and softened cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until it becomes a dough-like consistency.
- Form the Balls: Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a small ball with your hands. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill: Refrigerate the Oreo balls for about 30 minutes, or until they are firm enough to handle.
- Coat in Chocolate: Once the Oreo balls have chilled, dip them in the melted white chocolate or milk/dark chocolate. Use a fork to lift them out, allowing the excess chocolate to drip off before placing them back on the baking sheet.
- Decorate: Before the chocolate sets, drizzle with red and green icing, or sprinkle with Christmas sprinkles for a festive look.
- Set: Let the coated Oreo balls set at room temperature or in the fridge until the chocolate hardens.
- Serve and Enjoy: Store the Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator and serve when ready.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, you can pulse the Oreos in a food processor until finely ground before mixing them with the cream cheese.
- For a twist, try using different flavors of Oreo cookies, like peppermint or golden Oreos, for variety.
