Oreo Balls Chocolate (Print Version)

Smash Oreos with soft cream cheese, cover in melty chocolate—super easy, totally indulgent, and great for sharing.

# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 454 g chocolate for dipping (pick white, milk, or dark)
02 - 227 g cream cheese, leave it out to soften
03 - 405 g classic Oreo cookies (1 pack), filling included

→ Optional Decorative Toppings

04 - Smashed Oreo bits
05 - A swirl of different chocolate
06 - Bright sugar crystals
07 - Fun holiday sprinkles

# Steps:

01 - Toss those Oreos into your food processor and blitz them, filling and all, till it looks like sand. No food processor? Drop them in a zip bag and crush with a rolling pin.
02 - Scoop all those Oreo bits into a mixing bowl. Add the creamy, softened cream cheese. Grab your mixer and blend until it's all one color—no streaks left.
03 - Lay some parchment or silicone mats on baking sheets. Scoop to get a chunk about the size of a ping pong ball (2.5 cm or so). Roll it with your hands until round and smooth. Line them all up on your tray.
04 - Pop the trays in your freezer. Let the balls chill out for 15–20 minutes so they get nice and solid.
05 - While those are freezing, grab a bowl that's microwave-safe. Melt your chocolate in bursts of 30 seconds, stirring after each. If the microwave isn't your thing, use a double boiler over hot water and stir until melted.
06 - Take just a few cold balls out of the freezer at once. Use a fork or dipping tool to dunk them in warm chocolate. Shake off any extra chocolate and set them back on the tray.
07 - Before your chocolate hardens, add whatever toppings you like—crushed Oreos, sprinkles, sugar crystals, or drizzle more chocolate. Wait till the coating’s set before you serve or stash them.

# Notes:

01 - Full-fat cream cheese, left out until soft, gives the best texture.
02 - If your kitchen is toasty, chill the dough balls between dips so they don't go soft on you.
