🧾 Ingredients (Makes about 20 balls)

8 oz cream cheese, softened
12 oz chocolate chips (milk, dark, or white)
Optional toppings: sprinkles, crushed Oreos, or chopped nuts
🥄 Instructions
1. Crush the Oreos
Place cookies in a food processor or seal in a bag and crush with a rolling pin until fine crumbs.
2. Mix with Cream Cheese
In a large bowl, combine crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese.
Mix until smooth and uniform.
3. Form the Balls
Use a teaspoon or cookie scoop to form small balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.
4. Coat with Chocolate
Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until smooth.
Dip each chilled ball into melted chocolate, coating completely.
Place back on parchment paper.
5. Add Toppings
While chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with toppings if desired.
Chill again until the chocolate hardens (about 15–20 minutes).
💡 Tips for Perfect Oreo Balls
Softened cream cheese blends better — don’t overmix or they’ll be too soft.
Use a cookie scoop for even-sized balls and consistent chocolate coating.
Microwave chocolate carefully — avoid burning by stirring frequently.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
