Instructions
Preparation
- Crush the Oreo Cookies: Place the Oreo cookies in a large resealable plastic bag and crush them until fine crumbs form, or use a food processor for a quicker option.
- Mix with Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreo crumbs with the softened cream cheese and mix until fully blended.
- Shape into Balls: Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place each on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Freeze the Balls: Freeze the balls for about 30 minutes to help them hold their shape when coated.
Coating
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate coating or candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip the Oreo Balls: Remove the balls from the freezer and dip each into the melted chocolate until fully coated. Tap off excess chocolate.
- Add Sprinkles: While the chocolate is still wet, add sprinkles on top for decoration.
- Allow to Set: Let the chocolate harden completely, or speed up the process by refrigerating for 10 minutes.
