Ingredients

Scale

Reese’s Oreo Balls

  • 36 Oreo cookies (1 standard package)
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (125g) creamy peanut butter
  • 12 oz (340g) milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips (for coating)

Optional Toppings

  • Crushed peanuts
  • Oreo crumbs
  • Sea salt
  • Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreos: Start by crushing the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or place them in a resealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Ensure the crumbs are finely ground for the best texture.
  2. Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos, softened cream cheese, and creamy peanut butter. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to blend until fully combined and smooth. The mixture should be thick and hold together when pressed.
  3. Roll into Balls: Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop portions of the mixture and roll them into 1-inch diameter balls. Arrange the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Chill the Balls: Refrigerate the baking sheet with the Oreo balls for at least 1 hour to firm them up for easier chocolate coating.
  5. Melt the Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between intervals until smooth and fully melted. Avoid overheating.
  6. Dip the Oreo Balls: Using a fork or dipping tool, fully coat each chilled Oreo ball in melted chocolate. Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then place the coated ball back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Add Toppings (Optional): Sprinkle desired toppings such as crushed peanuts, Oreo crumbs, sea salt, or sprinkles over the chocolate-coated balls before the chocolate sets.
  8. Chill to Set: Return the coated Oreo balls to the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate hardens completely.
  9. Serve and Enjoy: Once set, serve the Reese’s Oreo Balls. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to make mixing easier.
  • For a smoother texture, process Oreo crumbs finely.
  • Peanut butter can be substituted with almond butter for a different flavor.
  • Toppings are optional but add texture and visual appeal.
  • Store leftovers refrigerated for up to one week.
