Delicious Oreo Balls

Avery Deen

The best desert flavors in the world, cream cheese and chocolate, combined perfectly in a cute little ball.

You’ll Need:

1 package of cream cheese (16 oz)

1 package of Oreos in your favorite flavor (personally, I think the peanut butter ones are the best)

Optional (and highly suggested!) –

Melting chocolate
Festive sprinkles

Steps to yum:

1. Crush up the Oreos, this is easiest to do in a blender but hey, if you’ve got a lot of stress you can let out your feelings by smashing cookies into a powder.
2. Pour the Oreo crumbs into a bowl and then plop in the entire package of cream cheese goodness.
3. Stir it all up until you have no clumps of either food and can make nice little balls.
4. Make roughly little balls that are roughly 1 in in diameter, don’t worry too much about making them all perfect, they are bite sized and will be consumed before the taster has a chance to inspect the shape!

~ Now come the optional steps ~

5. Melt your chocolate and carefully dip each Oreo ball into the chocolate to make a smooth and delectable coating.
6. While the chocolate is still liquid-y, add a dash of colorful sprinkles on top to add a cute festive topping.
7. Refrigerate the balls for 30 minutes to an hour depending on how much time you have and how hard of a set you want for the chocolate, I personally like to go longer because then you get a nice crunchy outside with the soft gooey inside.
