Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oreo Mixture

  1. Crush the Oreos: In a food processor, pulse the Oreos into fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, you can place the Oreos in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
  2. Mix with Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs and softened cream cheese. Use a spatula or your hands to mix until fully combined and the mixture holds together.

Step 2: Shape the Balls

  1. Form the Balls: Take small portions of the Oreo mixture and roll them into balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the formed balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Chill: Once all the balls are formed, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will help them firm up and make dipping in chocolate easier.

Step 3: Dip in Chocolate

  1. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  2. Coat the Oreo Balls: Remove the chilled Oreo balls from the refrigerator. Using a fork or a dipping tool, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the balls back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 4: Add Toppings and Chill Again

  1. Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle crushed Oreos, peanuts, or your choice of toppings on top of the chocolate-covered balls while the chocolate is still wet.
  2. Chill Again: Place the baking sheet back in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is set.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!

  1. Enjoy Your Treats: Once the chocolate has hardened, your Reese’s Oreo Balls are ready to be served! They can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week (if they last that long!).

Tips for Success

  • Make Ahead: These Oreo balls can be made in advance, making them perfect for preparing ahead of time for parties or gatherings.
  • Flavor Variations: For a twist, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of salt to the Oreo mixture for added flavor.
  • Presentation: For a decorative touch, you can drizzle melted white chocolate over the finished Oreo balls before serving.
