Ingredients
- 1 package of Oreo cookies (36 cookies)
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
Directions
- Crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor until finely ground.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the softened cream cheese. Mix well until the mixture is fully combined and forms a dough-like consistency.
- Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to firm up the Oreo balls.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and vegetable shortening in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each increment, until smooth and fully melted.
- Remove the Oreo balls from the freezer. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place the coated Oreo balls back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Optional: Decorate the Oreo balls with additional crushed Oreos, sprinkles, or drizzle with melted white chocolate.
- Once all the Oreo balls are coated and decorated, refrigerate them for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate is set.
- Serve and enjoy these delicious Oreo Balls!
