Yield: ~20-30 Oreo balls
Ingredients
- regular sized package of Oreos or around 36 cookies
- 6-8 oz cream cheese
- 16 oz meltable chocolate
- milk or oil (optional)
Utensils
- food processor or blender (optional)
- mixing bowl
- bowl for meltable chocolate
- parchment paper
Let’s Make It!
- In a food processor or blender, combine Oreos and cream cheese until mixed. Do not overmix. If you don’t have either of these, place Oreos in a plastic bag and use a beating object to pulverize them, then mix with cream cheese.
- Place the meltable chocolate in a bowl and microwave for a few seconds, stir, and repeat until it starts to melt. Add milk, vegetable oil, or water to achieve a thick but mixable consistency. Don’t add too much liquid or else the chocolate won’t harden!
- Roll them in the melted chocolate, tap against the side of the bowl to remove excess. If they’re too crumbly, pour melted chocolate over them.
- Place the balls onto parchment lined dish.
- Refrigerate for 45 minutes or until chocolate hardens.
- Enjoy! Place in the microwave for 20-30 seconds for a warm oreo ball!
- Store in fridge for up to 4-5 days.

History
- I first had these during college when a roommate knocked on my dorm door asking me if I wanted any. I said I didn’t know what they were, but he assured me they were these amazing Oreo balls I “had to try.” I try a bite, and ever since then, I’ve continually made them for family and parties, and they’ve always been a hit!
