Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Oreo Filling
  • 38 Oreo cookies classic variety recommended
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
For the Chocolate Coating
  • 1 cup chocolate melting wafers milk or dark
  • 1 cup white chocolate melting wafers
Optional Toppings
  • crushed Oreo crumbs
  • melted chocolate for drizzling
  • sprinkles
  • crushed peppermint
  • chopped nuts

Method
 

  1. Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed into sand-like crumbs.
  2. Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then mix in the Oreo crumbs until a thick, uniform dough forms.
  3. Scoop 1 tablespoon portions of the mixture and roll into smooth balls. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Freeze the Oreo balls for 15 minutes to help them firm up for dipping.
  5. Melt the chocolate and white chocolate wafers separately in microwave-safe bowls, heating in short intervals and stirring until smooth.
  6. Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate using a fork, letting excess drip off. Coat half in chocolate and half in white chocolate.
  7. Return dipped balls to the tray and add toppings such as Oreo crumbs, sprinkles, or chocolate drizzle while still wet.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until fully set. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

Add extracts like vanilla or peppermint for extra flavor. If chocolate becomes too thick, mix in a teaspoon of neutral oil. Golden Oreos create a delicious vanilla version, and a small cookie scoop helps ensure evenly sized balls.
