Ingredients
Scale
1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies, about 36 cookies
8 oz cream cheese, softened
16 oz melting chocolate (semisweet or milk chocolate)
Optional: White chocolate for drizzling
Optional: Sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
Place all Oreo cookies, filling included, 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 sturdy spoon or clean hands until a uniform dough forms.
Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should get about 30 to 35 Oreo balls.
Place the rolled balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill the Oreo balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm them up. This step is necessary before dipping.
Melt the melting chocolate according to package directions. You can use a double boiler or microwave in short intervals, stirring often.
Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork to lift it out, tapping the fork gently on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
Return the coated Oreo balls to the parchment-lined sheet.
If desired, drizzle with melted white chocolate or add sprinkles immediately before the coating sets.
Refrigerate the finished Oreo balls for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is completely firm.
Notes
If you do not have a food processor, place the cookies in a sturdy zip-top bag and crush them using a rolling pin until fine.
For the best texture, ensure your cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature before mixing.
If the chocolate coating thickens while you are working, briefly reheat it to maintain a smooth consistency for dipping.
