Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package (15.25 ounces / 432 grams) Oreo cookies
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) creamy peanut butter
Coating:
- 1 1/2 cups (255 grams) chocolate chips (milk, dark, or white chocolate)
Instructions
- Transform Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor. For manual crushing, seal cookies in a Ziploc bag and pulverize with a rolling pin until uniformly ground.
- Incorporate crushed Oreos with peanut butter in a mixing bowl, blending thoroughly until a dense, cohesive mixture forms with consistent texture.
- Craft uniform spheres approximately 1-inch in diameter from the Oreo-peanut butter blend, positioning each on a parchment-lined surface.
- Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe container, heating at 20-second intervals and stirring between cycles until completely smooth and glossy.
- Submerge each ball into melted chocolate, utilizing a fork to ensure complete coverage. Allow excess chocolate to drip off gently before returning to parchment.
- Chill the chocolate-enrobed balls in refrigerator for 30 minutes or freeze for 15 minutes until chocolate hardens and sets completely.
- Once chocolate solidifies, the decadent peanut butter Oreo cookie balls are primed for serving and enjoying.
Notes
- Crush Oreos without a food processor by placing them in a sealed bag and rolling with a wine bottle or heavy pan for an even, fine texture.
- Ensure peanut butter is at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother consistency with the Oreo crumbs.
- Use dark or white chocolate for coating to create different flavor variations and visual appeal.
- Customize by sprinkling crushed nuts, sea salt, or drizzling additional melted chocolate on top after chilling for extra gourmet touch.
