Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 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!
Notes
- 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.
- Use festive sprinkles to customize these treats for other holidays or occasions.
