Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 (15.25 oz) package Oreo Cookies
  • 8 oz cream cheese (1 brick, softened)

Coating and Decoration

  • 3 cups melting chocolate (half white chocolate, half dark chocolate)
  • Additional Oreo cookie crumbs for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreo Cookies: Use a blender, small food processor, or place Oreos in a sealed plastic bag and smash with a meat mallet to crush the cookies finely. For best results, crush half the cookies at a time and stir with a fork between blends to get the finest consistency.
  2. Mix with Cream Cheese: In a bowl, mix the crushed Oreo crumbs with the softened cream cheese until the mixture is well blended and uniform in texture.
  3. Form the Balls: Use a cookie scoop to portion about 1.5 tablespoons of the mixture and roll into balls by hand. Place the Oreo balls on a parchment or wax paper-lined cookie sheet.
  4. Freeze the Balls: Freeze the Oreo balls for 20-30 minutes to firm them up before dipping. This step prevents crumbs in the chocolate and helps the coating set properly.
  5. Melt the Chocolate: Melt the melting chocolate in the microwave for about 1 minute and 20 seconds, stirring gently until smooth. Return to the microwave in 15-second increments as needed to avoid burning.
  6. Dip the Oreo Balls: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each Oreo ball in the melted chocolate and place back on the lined cookie sheet.
  7. Decorate with Drizzle and Crumbs: Place 2 tablespoons each of white and dark chocolate into separate sandwich bags and microwave for 30 seconds. Massage the bags to melt completely, snip a tiny corner off each, and drizzle the opposite chocolate onto each Oreo ball. Remove cream filling from reserved Oreo cookies, crush the cookies, and sprinkle crumbs over the drizzled Oreo balls.

Notes

  • Chilling the balls before dipping is essential to prevent crumb contamination in the melted chocolate and to keep a smooth coating.
  • You can prepare the Oreo balls a day ahead and dip them in chocolate later for convenience.
  • Use parchment or wax paper to prevent sticking while the balls chill and dry.
