Oreo Balls Recipe

Introduction

Oreo Balls are bite-sized treats that combine the classic taste of Oreos with creamy cream cheese and a rich chocolate coating. They’re easy to make and perfect for parties, holidays, or whenever you need a sweet snack.

Ingredients

• 36 regular Oreo cookies
• 1 (8-ounce) package brick-style cream cheese, softened (226 grams)
• 16 ounces chocolate (semi-sweet, milk, or white chocolate all work great) (452 grams)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Step 2: Add the Oreos to a blender or food processor and process until you have fine crumbs. Scoop the crumbs into a large mixing bowl and reserve 1 to 2 tablespoons to sprinkle on top later if desired. Add the softened cream cheese to the crumbs.
3. Step 3: Using a handheld mixer, mix the cookie crumbs and cream cheese together until fully combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
4. Step 4: Measure out one-tablespoon sized portions of the mixture, roll each into a ball, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze the balls for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
5. Step 5: Chop the chocolate and place it in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20 to 30 second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
6. Step 6: Dip each Oreo ball into the melted chocolate to coat completely, then return to the baking sheet. Sprinkle the reserved crumbs on top while the chocolate is still wet.
7. Step 7: Refrigerate the chocolate-coated Oreo balls for at least 20 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened. Serve and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

• For added flavor, try mixing in a teaspoon of vanilla extract with the cream cheese before combining.
• Use different types of chocolate—dark, milk, or white—for a variety of flavors.
• Decorate with colored sprinkles or drizzle contrasting chocolate on top for a festive look.

Storage

Store Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. To enjoy, allow them to come to room temperature for a few minutes, or reheat gently in the microwave for about 10 seconds if desired, but avoid overheating to keep the chocolate coating intact.

FAQs

Can I use low-fat cream cheese for this recipe?

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Oreo Balls

• 36 regular Oreo cookies
• 1 (8-ounce) package brick-style cream cheese, softened (226 grams)

Chocolate Coating

• 16 ounces chocolate (semi-sweet, milk, or white chocolate all work great) (452 grams)
• Reserved Oreo crumbs for topping (1 to 2 tablespoons)

Instructions

1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to keep the Oreo balls from sticking.
2. Crush Oreos: Add the Oreo cookies to a blender or food processor and pulse until you have fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a large mixing bowl and reserve 1 to 2 tablespoons for sprinkling later.
3. Mix with Cream Cheese: Add the softened cream cheese to the Oreo crumbs. Using a handheld mixer, blend together until fully combined and smooth, scraping the sides as needed to ensure even mixing.
4. Form Balls: Scoop out one-tablespoon sized portions of the mixture and roll into balls with your hands. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet. Once all are shaped, freeze the baking sheet for at least 20 minutes to firm up the balls.
5. Melt Chocolate: Chop the chocolate and place it in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20 to 30 second increments, stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth.
6. Dip Oreo Balls: Using a fork or dipping tool, coat each Oreo ball completely in melted chocolate. Place back onto the baking sheet and sprinkle the reserved cookie crumbs atop each ball immediately for garnish.
7. Chill Until Set: Refrigerate the chocolate-coated Oreo balls for at least 20 minutes or until the chocolate hardens. Serve chilled and enjoy these creamy, chocolatey treats!

Notes

• Use a handheld mixer to ensure the cream cheese and crumbs mix smoothly without lumps.
• Freezing the balls before dipping helps maintain their shape and prevents melting.
• You can experiment with different types of chocolate—white, milk, or semi-sweet—for varied flavor profiles.
• Store finished Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
• Feel free to decorate the tops with sprinkles, colored sugar, or drizzle with contrasting chocolate for a decorative touch.
