Instructions
Step 1
1. Prepare the Oreo Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies with softened cream cheese. Use a spatula or your hands to mix until well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Step 2
2. Form the Balls: Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the mixture and roll it into balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 3
3. Chill: Refrigerate the Oreo balls for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
Step 4
4. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the melting chocolate or candy melts with olive oil. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.
Step 5
5. Coat the Balls: Remove the chilled Oreo balls from the refrigerator. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork to coat evenly. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing them back on the parchment-lined sheet.
Step 6
6. Set the Coating: Once all the balls are coated, place them back in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
Step 7
7. Optional Seasoning: If desired, sprinkle a tiny pinch of salt and pepper on top of each chocolate-coated ball before the chocolate sets completely for an unexpected flavor twist.
Chef's Notes
Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to ensure a smooth mixture; this will help the Oreo balls hold their shape.
For a festive touch, consider adding crushed peppermint candy or sprinkles to the chocolate coating before it sets.
If you prefer a darker chocolate flavor, opt for dark chocolate melts or semi-sweet chocolate.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Christmas Oreo Balls on a decorative platter at holiday parties, or gift them in festive boxes for friends and family. They pair wonderfully with coffee or hot cocoa during winter gatherings.
