Whether you're looking for a yummy, sweet treat for a holiday party, family gathering, pot luck or just to satisfy your sweet tooth at home,
Chocolate Covered Oreo Balls will fit the bill.
These are also a fun treat to make with the kids.
What You'll Need
1 package Oreo's (off brands are OK too)
1 package Cream Cheese
1 package Almond Bark Chocolate
I also tried using Peanut Butter Oreo's, they tasted good however they are a little greasy because of the extra oil from the peanut butter, I would suggest using less cream cheese.
Start by placing the entire package of Almond Bark Chocolate into a small pot and begin melting on the lowest heat setting. Make sure to stir frequently to avoid burning the chocolate.
Using 1 whole package of Oreo cookies,
I started by crushing the cookies in a bowl, I did it this way for a combination of reasons, 1 my food processor is fairly small so I couldn't fit many full cookies in at a time and 2 it was fun to let the kids try to smash them.
Once the cookies are broken into manageable pieces, put them into a food processor. If you have a large enough food processor you can eliminate this step by using the processor from the onset.

Grind the cookie pieces up into a crumbly, powered consistency. Then put this into a large bowl for mixing.
Add 1, 8 oz package of Cream Cheese. Cream Cheese should be room temperature making it easier to work with.
Blend Cream Cheese and Cookie crumbs together, using either a spoon or hand mixer.
We used a spoon for the regular Oreo's but had a harder time mixing the Peanut Butter, so we used a hand mixer for those.
Once thoroughly mixed start making the mixture into little balls.
We choose to make them about the size of a quarter around.
They are very sweet so we choose to go a little smaller, however I have had them about the size of a silver dollar around and they were good that way as well.
After forming into a ball dip in the melted Almond Bark.
Once coated with chocolate place on wax paper.
We were out of wax paper so I coated a glass baking pan and placed them inside of that for drying.
After they are dry removed the Chocolate Covered Oreo Balls from wax paper and place on serving tray of choice.

These are amazing, I've had them before at a Christmas party. But the person who made them used the mint oreos. They were soo good. You should try it with those instead of the regular!
ReplyDeleteI used Coconut Sables Biscuits rather than Oreo and it was so good. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
ReplyDeleteSamokan, that also sounds very yummy. I may have to give that a try. Although most of the people in my little family do not care for coconut, many in my extended family do. So it may be a big hit at family get togethers.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestion.
