Instructions

Step 1: Crush the Oreos
Using a food processor or a rolling pin, crush the entire package of Oreo cookies until fine crumbs form.

Step 2: Mix with Cream Cheese
In a large bowl, mix the crushed Oreos with the softened cream cheese until fully combined. The mixture should be thick and dough-like.

Step 3: Roll into Balls
Roll the Oreo-cream cheese mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 4: Chill
Place the Oreo balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Step 5: Dip in Chocolate
Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Dip each Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Place the dipped balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 6: Decorate (Optional)
If desired, sprinkle the chocolate-covered Oreo balls with crushed Oreos, sprinkles, or drizzle with white chocolate for added decoration.

Step 7: Chill Again
Return the Oreo balls to the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
