Christmas Oreo Balls
These Christmas Oreo balls are easy to make with crushed Oreos and cream cheese. Dipped in white chocolate and decorated with sprinkles, they are sweet, chewy and decadent!
Ingredients
- 36 OREO cookies (see notes)
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese , softened
- 8 ounces white chocolate melting wafers
- Seasonal sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a blender or food processor, pulse the Oreos (with filling) into fine crumbs. You can also place the Oreos in a zip-top bag and use a rolling pin to crush them.
- In a large bowl, mix together the Oreo crumbs and cream cheese with an electric mixer. If it isn't coming together, get your hands in there and mix it up.
- Using a small cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the baking sheet. Roll into a ball with your hands. Freeze 10 to 15 minutes, or until slightly firm. You don't want them too cold.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in-between each, until smooth.
- Use a fork to dip the Oreo balls into the chocolate. Tap on the edge of the bowl to get the smooth finish. Use a toothpick to help slide the ball back onto the baking sheet. Before the chocolate hardens, add sprinkles. Let harden completely.
- Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
Oreos: You’ll need about 1 package Oreos for this recipe. You do not have to remove the filling, however I like to remove the filling from about half or so to make them less rich.
Variations: These are so much fun to decorate in a variety of ways, including a snowman that only requires a mini Oreo for the hat, a touch of melted milk chocolate wafers for the eyes and mouth, and an orange sprinkle for the nose. Add all of the decorations before the chocolate hardens.
Storage: For best results, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 1 week or in the freezer up to 2 months.
