Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package Oreos (14.3 ounces / 405 grams, peanut butter flavor preferred)
- 1 package cream cheese (8 ounces / 226 grams, softened)
- Peanut butter cups (one for each Oreo ball)
Coating and Topping Ingredients:
- Chocolate candiquik or almond bark
- Chopped Reese’s Pieces
- Peanut butter candy melts
Instructions
- Prepare a clean workspace and gather all necessary equipment, ensuring cream cheese has softened to room temperature.
- Pulse Oreo cookies in a food processor until they transform into fine, uniform crumbs, processing in two batches to achieve consistent texture.
- Transfer the cookie crumbs to a spacious mixing bowl, introducing softened cream cheese and blending thoroughly with an electric mixer until a cohesive mixture forms.
- Arrange a silicone-lined baking sheet for easy candy preparation and chilling.
- Utilize a small scoop to portion the Oreo mixture, strategically embedding a peanut butter cup center within each ball during the shaping process.
- Refrigerate the formed balls for approximately 20 minutes to stabilize their structure and enhance handling.
- Gently melt chocolate candiquik or almond bark in a pot over low heat, stirring periodically to maintain smooth consistency.
- Carefully immerse each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork to ensure complete coverage and allow excess chocolate to drip away.
- Return chocolate-coated balls to the silicone mat, allowing them to set momentarily.
- Embellish the treats by sprinkling chopped Reese’s Pieces or drizzling melted peanut butter candy melts across the surface for added visual appeal and flavor complexity.
- Refrigerate the completed Oreo balls until the chocolate coating solidifies completely, creating a delectable, professional-looking dessert.
Notes
- Prep ahead by softening cream cheese at room temperature for smooth, creamy mixing.
- Pulse Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor for consistent texture and easy blending.
- Chill Oreo balls before dipping in chocolate to prevent crumbling and ensure a clean coating.
