Ingredients
- 36 Oreos crushed
- 8 oz package of cream cheese softened
- Sprinkles/Decorations of your choice
- 10 oz good quality chocolate
- 1/2 tsp cooking oil to thin chocolate if needed optional
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos in a large Ziploc bag or a food processor until you have coarse crumbs.
- Add them to a large bowl with the cream cheese and mix until well combined.
- Roll into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze for 30 minutes.
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave or double boiler until smooth.
- Place each Oreo ball into the melted chocolate and coat well. Top with sprinkles.
- Put the tray back into the freezer for 10-15 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for smoother blending.
- Avoid chocolate chips as they contain an ingredient that stops them from melting.
- If your chocolate seems too thick, add 1/2 tsp of oil.
- If the balls lose their shape while dipping, place them back in the refrigerator to firm up again.
