Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (14.3 ounces) Oreo cookies
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
- Sprinkles (optional)
- Candy Melts (optional)
- White Chocolate Chips (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor or place them in a resealable bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the crushed Oreo crumbs and softened cream cheese. Mix until well combined and a dough-like consistency is achieved.
- Step 3: Roll the Oreo mixture into 1-inch balls. Place the Oreo balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Step 4: Place the baking sheet with the Oreo balls in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Step 5: While the Oreo balls are chilling, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and vegetable shortening in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Step 6: Remove the Oreo balls from the freezer and dip them in the melted chocolate, coating them completely. Place them back on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Add sprinkles or drizzle with melted candy melts immediately after dipping, if desired.
Notes
- Store Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week to keep them fresh and firm.
- These are best served chilled or at room temperature; no reheating is necessary!
- Garnish your Oreo balls with a sprinkle of sea salt after dipping for a sweet and salty flavor boost.
- For easier dipping, make sure your Oreo balls are thoroughly chilled before coating in melted chocolate.
