- Crush the Oreos:
- Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they are finely crushed into crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, you can place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Mix Peanut Butter and Cream Cheese:
- In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and peanut butter. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Combine with Oreo Crumbs:
- Add the crushed Oreo crumbs to the peanut butter and cream cheese mixture. Mix until everything is thoroughly combined. The mixture will be thick.
- Form the Balls:
- Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, form the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill:
- Refrigerate the Oreo balls for about 30 minutes to an hour, or until they are firm.
- Prepare Chocolate Coating:
- While the Oreo balls are chilling, melt the chocolate chips. If you’re using almond bark, follow the package instructions. For chocolate chips, melt them in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until completely smooth. You can add a tablespoon of coconut oil to the chocolate to help make it smoother and easier to dip.
- Coat the Balls:
- Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, making sure it is fully coated. You can use a fork to help with the dipping and remove excess chocolate. Return the coated balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Optional Decoration:
- Before the chocolate coating sets, you can sprinkle crushed Oreo crumbs or drizzle more melted chocolate on top for decoration.
- Chill Again:
- Place the coated Oreo balls back in the refrigerator to let the chocolate set completely.
- Serve:
- Once the chocolate is fully set, your Reese’s Oreo Balls are ready to enjoy!
These Oreo balls are a decadent treat with a delightful combination of flavors and textures. Perfect for any occasion!
