Scale
- 36 Oreo cookies, crushed into fine crumbs
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 10 oz dark chocolate melting wafers
- 10 oz white chocolate melting wafers (optional for variation)
- Christmas sprinkles or red and green candy melts for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare Oreo Mixture: Add Oreos to a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs. Add softened cream cheese and blend until smooth.
- Shape the Balls: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll into a ball with your hands. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill: Refrigerate or freeze the balls for about 30 minutes until they are firm.
- Coat with Chocolate: Melt the chocolate wafers in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Dip each chilled Oreo ball in the melted chocolate, using a fork to let excess chocolate drip off.
- Decorate: Immediately add sprinkles or drizzle with colored candy melts. Allow them to set on the baking sheet until the chocolate is firm.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for an additional 10-15 minutes until fully set.
