Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
15 ounces Oreo cookies, finely crushed (about 36 cookies)
24 ounces almond bark, vanilla or chocolate
Christmas sprinkles for decorating

Instructions

Step 1: Crush the Oreos using a food processor until they become fine crumbs. Alternatively, place the cookies in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Optionally, reserve 1-2 tablespoons of crumbs for garnish.
Step 2: Add the softened cream cheese to the food processor and process until smooth. If you don’t have a food processor, combine the crushed Oreos and cream cheese in a large bowl and mix with a hand mixer until well blended.
Step 3: Scoop about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll into small balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, aiming for 25-30 balls.
Step 4: Freeze the balls for 15-20 minutes, or chill them in the refrigerator for about an hour to firm up.
Step 5: Melt the almond bark (or chocolate chips/candy melts) according to package instructions. Dip each ball into the melted coating, using two forks for even coverage.
Step 6: Immediately decorate with sprinkles or reserved Oreo crumbs before the coating sets.
Step 7: Chill the dipped Oreo balls in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes until firm, then serve.

Tips & Variations

Use flavored almond bark like mint or peppermint for a festive twist.
Substitute cream cheese with mascarpone for a richer texture.
Try dipping in dark or white chocolate for different flavor profiles.
Add a pinch of cinnamon or peppermint extract to the mixture for holiday flavors.
Store the balls on parchment paper to prevent sticking during freezing.

Storage

Store the Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. They can also be frozen for up to two months—allow them to thaw in the refrigerator before serving. When reheating, avoid microwave use; just bring them to room temperature for the best texture.

FAQs

Can I use regular chocolate instead of almond bark?

Yes, you can melt regular chocolate chips or candy melts as a coating. Almond bark is convenient because it melts smoothly and hardens well, but other chocolates work fine with careful melting.

Do I have to freeze the Oreo balls before dipping?

Freezing or chilling the balls before dipping helps them hold their shape and makes the dipping process easier, but if you’re careful, you can dip them without freezing—just work quickly to prevent them from becoming too soft.

15 ounces Oreo Cookies, finely crushed (about 36 cookies)

Coating

24 ounces almond bark, vanilla or chocolate

Decoration

Christmas sprinkles for decorating

Instructions

Crush the Oreos: Use a food processor to turn Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Alternatively, place the cookies in a ziplock bag and use a rolling pin to crush them. You may reserve 1-2 tablespoons of crushed Oreos for garnish.
Mix with cream cheese: Add softened cream cheese to the food processor and process until smooth. If you do not have a food processor, place crushed Oreos and softened cream cheese in a large bowl and mix thoroughly with a hand mixer until smooth and well combined.
Roll into balls: Using about one tablespoon of the Oreo mixture, roll into small balls. Place them evenly spaced on a parchment-lined baking sheet. This should yield approximately 25-30 Oreo balls.
Freeze: Put the Oreo balls into the freezer for 15-20 minutes or refrigerate for about an hour to allow them to firm up before dipping.
Dip: Melt the almond bark according to package directions using a microwave or double boiler. Using two forks, dip each Oreo ball into the melted almond bark, ensuring an even coating.
Decorate: Immediately after dipping, sprinkle the melted chocolate-coated balls with Christmas sprinkles or reserved crushed Oreos before the coating sets.
Chill: Place the decorated Oreo balls in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the coating to fully set. Serve chilled and enjoy your festive holiday treat!

For best results, ensure cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to achieve a smooth consistency.
You can substitute almond bark with chocolate chips or candy melts based on preference.
Store Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Freezing the balls prior to dipping helps them hold shape better and makes dipping easier.
