Ingredients
Scale
- 36 Oreo cookies
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Finely crush the Oreo cookies using a food processor or by placing them in a resealable bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies, softened cream cheese, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and a dough-like consistency forms.
- Step 3: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Step 4: Melt the milk chocolate chips and white chocolate chips separately in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Add 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable shortening to each bowl of melted chocolate to make it smoother.
- Step 5: Dip each Oreo ball into either the melted milk chocolate or white chocolate, coating completely. Place back on the parchment paper.
- Step 6: Immediately sprinkle with sprinkles, if desired, before the chocolate sets. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
Notes
- Store Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, keeping them chilled and fresh.
- These treats are best enjoyed cold, so no reheating is necessary – just grab and enjoy straight from the fridge!
- Serve Oreo balls on a dessert platter alongside other bite-sized sweets for a crowd-pleasing presentation.
- For easier rolling, chill the Oreo-cream cheese mixture for 15-20 minutes before shaping into balls – it'll prevent sticking!
