Ingredients
- 36 cookies regular Oreo cookies (one standard package; use whole cookies with cream)
- 8 oz brick-style cream cheese, softened
- 16 oz chocolate for melting (semi-sweet, milk, or white; chips or bars)
Instructions
- Line a tray: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Crush the Oreos: Add the entire package of Oreo cookies (cream and all) to a food processor or high‑powered blender. Process on high until fine, uniform crumbs form.
- Make the mixture: Transfer crumbs to a large bowl (reserve 1–2 Tbsp for garnish, if desired). Add softened cream cheese and beat with a handheld mixer on medium until fully combined into a thick, dough‑like mixture.
- Roll & chill: Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion the mixture and roll into smooth 1‑inch balls. Place on the prepared tray and freeze for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
- Melt chocolate: Place chopped chocolate (or chips) in a microwave‑safe bowl. Microwave in 20–30 second bursts, stirring after each, until completely smooth. Do not overheat.
- Dip: Working one at a time, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, turning with a fork to coat. Lift out and gently tap the fork on the bowl to let excess drip off.
- Garnish & set: Return dipped balls to parchment. Sprinkle with reserved Oreo crumbs (or drizzle contrasting chocolate) while still wet. Refrigerate 20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
Notes
Variations: Use golden Oreos; coat with white chocolate and drizzle dark; add 1/2 tsp peppermint extract for holiday flair. Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 1 week or freeze up to 2 months (thaw in the fridge).
