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
- Decorating tip: For a more professional-looking finish, use a piping bag to drizzle the icing over the Oreo balls instead of just drizzling by hand.
- Flavor variation: Feel free to try using different types of chocolate, like dark chocolate or a combination of both milk and white chocolate, for a layered look.
- Storage: Keep the Oreo balls in an airtight container in the fridge to preserve freshness.
- Make them ahead: Oreo balls can be made up to a week in advance and stored in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
- Consistency check: If the Oreo mixture feels too dry to form into balls, add a little more softened cream cheese until the dough reaches the right consistency.
