Christmas Oreo Balls are a festive and delicious treat made with crushed Oreos and cream cheese, coated in chocolate and decorated for the holiday season.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package of Oreo cookies (about 36 cookies)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 16 oz chocolate coating (white or dark)
- Sprinkles or crushed candy canes for decoration
Instructions
- Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the softened cream cheese until well blended.
- Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill the balls in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- While the balls are chilling, melt the chocolate coating in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler.
- Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated, and return them to the baking sheet.
- Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle with festive decorations like sprinkles or crushed candy canes.
- Allow the chocolate to harden completely before serving.
Notes
- Store the Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- For a fun twist, try using different flavored Oreos or adding peppermint extract to the cream cheese mixture.
- These make great gifts or party favors during the holiday season!
