Ingredients
Scale
1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother melting)
White chocolate or sprinkles for decoration (optional)
Instructions
Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs.
In a medium bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs and softened cream cheese. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill the Oreo balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips (and shortening, if using) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler.
Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork to lift the ball and let excess chocolate drip off.
Place the coated Oreo balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
If desired, drizzle with melted white chocolate or add sprinkles while the chocolate coating is still wet.
Refrigerate the Oreo balls for at least 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is set.
Notes
For a smoother chocolate coating, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable shortening to the chocolate chips when melting.
You can use any flavor of Oreo cookies for this recipe.
Store leftover Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
