Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Oreo cookies (classic or any flavor)
Cream cheese (softened)
Melting chocolate or chocolate chips (white, milk, or dark)
Optional toppings: sprinkles, crushed Oreos, drizzle of contrasting chocolate
Directions
Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs. Reserve a tablespoon of crumbs for topping, if desired.
Add softened cream cheese to the crumbs and pulse or mix until fully combined and a dough-like consistency forms.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Chill the balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or freeze for 15 minutes until firm.
Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork to coat fully and tap off excess chocolate. Place back on the parchment-lined tray.
While the chocolate is still wet, add sprinkles or reserved Oreo crumbs on top.
Chill until the chocolate is set, about 10–15 minutes.

FAQs
Can I make Oreo Balls without a food processor?

No, use the whole Oreo cookie, including the cream filling.
Can I freeze Oreo Balls?

How long do Oreo Balls last?

Can I use flavored cream cheese?

What type of chocolate is best?

Why is my mixture too soft to roll?
