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
- In a medium bowl, blend the crushed Oreo cookies with the softened cream cheese until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Form the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill the balls in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm them up.
- Melt the white and milk/dark chocolate in separate bowls. Dip each ball into the chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated, and let the excess chocolate drip off.
- Place the coated balls back onto the parchment paper and decorate with red and green sprinkles or drizzle with colored icing while the chocolate is still soft.
- Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until firm.
- Store the Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use a food processor for finely crushed Oreos or a rolling pin for a hands-on approach.
- Chill the balls and chocolate to make dipping easier.
- Customize the decorations to match any holiday or theme.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
