oreo cookie balls

Oh wow, do I have a treat for you guys today!

This, hands down, the best dessert I have made for this blog. In our house, we fought for the last couple cookie balls. It even solves my annual dilemma of which Christmas treat to give out. There’s some stiff competition. I’m always looking for something universally enjoyable, yet unique.

I’ve got my winner right here. The basic ingredients are: OREO Cookies, cream cheese, & Baker’s chocolate.

INGREDIENTS FOR OREO COOKIE TRUFFLES:

• 1 pkg (8 oz.) brick cream cheese, softened
• 36 Oreo Cookies, finely crushed (about 3 cups), “golden” flavor
• 4 pkg. (4 oz. each) semi-sweet baking chocolate, melted
• Optional ingredients: ½ teaspoon nutmeg, 1 Tablespoon cinnamon, 1 cup chopped pecans

HOW TO MAKE OREO COOKIE TRUFFLES:

Crumble-up the cookies, add the cream cheese, and when it all sticks together–you’re good. Next, I folded in the spices and pecans. Toast the nuts if you’re feeling fancy. Roll it all into 1″ balls & pop them in the freezer for 10 minutes to make the next part easy-peasy.

HANDY TOOLS TO MAKE THESE OREO TRUFFLES SO EASILY:

• glass nesting bowls – microwave safe, 10 sizes
• silicone spatula – heat proof, dishwasher safe, multiple sizes

Then, my favorite part of all…..

Yummmmm. The semi-sweet Baker’s chocolate is the perfect coating for these cookie balls. Sprinkle some pecans on top just like a sticky bun.

An hour in the fridge and they’re perfect for snacking, pairing with coffee, or tucked in a cute gift box topped with a bow…. for teachers, neighbors, anyone really!

Wondering HOW TO MAKE OREO BALLS WITHOUT CREAM CHEESE?

You can substitute the cream cheese for the following ingredients:

• Chocolate Ganache
• Hazelnut spread
• Melted butter (until the cookies are wet and you can work them into balls)
• Peanut butter
• Chocolate frosting
• Marshmallow fluff
