Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package (14.3 ounces / 406 grams) Oreo cookies
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
Coating Ingredients:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) semi-sweet or white chocolate chips
Decorative Ingredients:
- Holiday sprinkles for decorating
Instructions
- Pulverize Oreo cookies into fine, uniform crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- Blend the cookie crumbs with softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl until a cohesive dough forms, ensuring no dry crumbs remain.
- Shape the mixture into compact, bite-sized spheres approximately 1-inch in diameter, arranging them on a parchment-covered baking sheet.
- Chill the formed balls in the freezer for 30 minutes to stabilize their structure and prepare for chocolate coating.
- Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe container, heating in 30-second increments and stirring between intervals until completely smooth and glossy.
- Carefully immerse each frozen ball into the melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Return chocolate-coated balls to the parchment-lined sheet, immediately adorning them with festive holiday sprinkles before the chocolate solidifies.
- Allow the Oreo balls to set at room temperature or expedite the process by refrigerating until the chocolate coating becomes firm and crisp.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing and smoother texture.
- Use a cookie scoop or small spoon to create uniform-sized Oreo balls for consistent appearance.
- Crush Oreos finely to prevent lumpy or uneven coating when dipping in chocolate.
- Refrigerate before serving to enhance flavor and create a firmer, more enjoyable texture.
