Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 container of Oreos
  • 1 package of cream cheese
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • Candy melts (or chocolate chips for coating)
  • Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oreos:

    • Place the Oreos into a ziplock bag.
    • Crush the Oreos by mashing them with a meat masher or use a food processor for a finer texture.
  2. Mix the Ingredients:

    • In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and the crushed Oreos.
    • Add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for flavor.
    • Mix everything until you have a well-combined, thick mixture.
  3. Roll into Balls:

    • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
    • Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form the mixture into small, truffle-sized balls.
    • Place the balls on the parchment paper.
  4. Freeze the Balls:

    • Pop the cookie sheet into the freezer for a while to firm up the Oreo balls.
  5. Melt the Chocolate:

    • In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the candy melts or chocolate chips in 30-second intervals.
    • Stir between each interval until the chocolate is fully melted.
    • It usually takes about 6 to 8 intervals.
  6. Dip and Coat:

    • Remove the Oreo balls from the freezer.
    • Use a fork or spoon to dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
    • Place the coated balls back onto the parchment paper.
  7. Add the Drizzle:

    • If using white chocolate, melt it in a separate bowl following the same microwave method.
    • Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the dark chocolate-coated balls to create a beautiful pattern.
    • You can also roll some balls in white chocolate and drizzle with dark chocolate for a contrasting look.
  8. Optional Sprinkles:

    • If you like, add sprinkles to the balls immediately after dipping or drizzling to create a decorative finish.
  9. Set and Serve:

    • Allow the chocolate to set by cooling the Oreo Cookie Balls.
    • Once they’ve solidified, they’re ready to be enjoyed or shared with family and friends.
    • Feel free to store them in the freezer until you’re ready to indulge.
