how to make Delicious Oreo Balls
Ingredients :
- 1 package of Oreo cookies (about 15.35 oz)
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 16 oz white chocolate (or chocolate chips for coating)
- Optional: Sprinkles for decoration
Directions :
- Start by crushing the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor or place them in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and softened cream cheese. Mix well until it’s smooth and fully combined.
- Use your hands to roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in size. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Once you’ve shaped all the balls, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm them up.
- While the balls are chilling, melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it in short bursts, stirring in between until it’s smooth.
- Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, then return them to the lined baking sheet.
- If you want to add sprinkles, do it before the chocolate sets.
- Once all the balls are coated, refrigerate them again for about 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
