Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package Oreo cookies
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) Reese’s peanut butter
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese (softened)
Chocolate Coating:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Decoration (Optional):
- Additional crushed Reese’s Pieces
Instructions
- Pulverize Oreo cookies into ultra-fine crumbs using a food processor or by crushing inside a sealed plastic bag with a rolling pin.
- Combine the powdery Oreo crumbs with room temperature cream cheese and creamy Reese’s peanut butter, mixing thoroughly until a uniform dough forms.
- Shape the mixture into uniform 1-inch spherical portions, arranging them carefully on a parchment-lined baking tray.
- Refrigerate the unbaked balls for approximately 60 minutes until they become completely solid and maintain their shape.
- Prepare the chocolate coating by gradually melting chocolate chips in a microwave-safe container, stirring every 30 seconds to prevent burning.
- Carefully submerge each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork to ensure complete and even coverage, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
- Gently transfer the chocolate-enrobed balls back onto the parchment paper, optionally sprinkling crushed Reese’s Pieces on top for additional texture and visual appeal.
- Return the decorated balls to the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes, allowing the chocolate coating to solidify completely.
Notes
- Use a clean, dry food processor for ultra-fine Oreo crumbs that blend seamlessly with cream cheese.
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to create a smooth, lump-free mixture that’s easy to roll.
- Chill the Oreo balls thoroughly before dipping in chocolate to prevent crumbling and maintain a perfect round shape.
