Ingredients
Scale
1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies
8 oz cream cheese, softened
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate melting wafers or chips
Instructions
Place the entire package of Oreo cookies into a food processor. Pulse until you have fine crumbs.
Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a medium bowl. Add the softened cream cheese.
Mix the crumbs and cream cheese together using a hand mixer or a sturdy spoon until a thick, uniform dough forms.
Roll the dough into small, uniform balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill the Oreo balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until firm. This step is crucial for easy dipping.
Melt the chocolate wafers according to package directions, usually in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork or a dipping tool to lift the ball out, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
Return the coated balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
If desired, immediately sprinkle with festive sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
Refrigerate the finished Oreo balls for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is completely firm.
Notes
For a smoother coating, add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil or shortening to the melted chocolate.
If you do not have a food processor, place cookies in a large zip-top bag and crush them thoroughly with a rolling pin.
These are excellent make ahead chocolate treats; store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
