Ingredients

  • 1 package (15.35 oz) Oreo cookies
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (milk or dark)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and using a rolling pin.
  2. 2In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and softened cream cheese. Mix until well combined and a dough forms.
  3. 3Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. 4Once all the balls are formed, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up the balls.
  5. 5While the balls are chilling, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. If desired, add vegetable oil to thin the chocolate for easier dipping.
  6. 6Remove the Oreo balls from the refrigerator. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork to coat them evenly. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
  7. 7Place the chocolate-coated balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. 8Optional: Drizzle any remaining melted chocolate over the top of the balls for decoration.
