Ingredients

Oreo Balls

  • 36 regular Oreo cookies
  • 1 (8-ounce) package brick-style cream cheese, softened

Chocolate Coating

  • 16 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
  • or 16 ounces milk chocolate
  • or 16 ounces white chocolate

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreos: Process 36 regular Oreo cookies until they are reduced to fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed zip-top bag and crushing them with a rolling pin. This ensures a uniform texture that blends well with cream cheese.
  2. Mix with cream cheese: Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a medium mixing bowl. Add 1 (8-ounce) package of softened brick-style cream cheese. Mix thoroughly with a spoon or spatula until the mixture forms a cohesive, dough-like consistency with no dry pockets of crumbs.
  3. Form the balls: Scoop about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form compact balls approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place each ball onto a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper. Continue until all mixture is shaped, yielding 36 to 40 balls.
  4. Chill the balls: Refrigerate the baking sheet with Oreo Balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up the mixture. Chilling is essential for easy handling and dipping in chocolate.
  5. Melt the chocolate: Choose your preferred chocolate: semi-sweet, milk, or white. Melt 16 ounces using a double boiler or microwave at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Allow the chocolate to cool slightly to prevent melting the balls during dipping.
  6. Dip the Oreo balls: Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Lift, let excess chocolate drip off, and gently tap on the bowl’s edge to remove extra coating. Place back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Optionally, drizzle contrasting chocolate or add sprinkles while coating is wet.
  7. Set the chocolate coating: Let the chocolate harden completely at room temperature or refrigerate the baking sheet for 15-20 minutes for faster setting.

Notes

  • Use brick-style cream cheese for best texture—avoid whipped or spreadable types.
  • Chilling the balls before dipping prevents them from falling apart during coating.
  • Melt chocolate gently to avoid burning and keep smooth.
  • Store finished Oreo balls in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For variety, experiment with different chocolate types or toppings such as crushed nuts or sprinkles.
