Ingredients
Scale
- 24 Oreo cookies (classic or double-stuffed)
- 4 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 8 oz chocolate (dark, milk, or white) for coating
- Optional toppings: Sprinkles, crushed nuts, or drizzled white chocolate
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos:
Use a food processor to crush Oreos into fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, place them in a sealed bag and crush them with a rolling pin. - Mix with Cream Cheese:
In a mixing bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese. Mix until the dough comes together into a sticky, uniform consistency. - Add Reese’s Pieces:
Fold in chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups for a delicious peanut butter surprise in every bite. - Shape the Balls:
Roll the mixture into bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. - Chill the Balls:
Refrigerate the balls for about 20 minutes or until firm. - Melt the Chocolate:
Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler. Stir until smooth. - Coat the Balls:
Dip each ball into the melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing it back onto the parchment paper. - Decorate and Set:
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with toppings or drizzle extra chocolate. Allow the coating to set completely in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes.
Notes
- For a crunchier texture, reserve some Oreo crumbs or Reese’s pieces for sprinkling on top.
- Keep them in the fridge to maintain their shape and texture, especially in warmer climates.
- Substitute Reese’s with other candies like Snickers or M&Ms for a fun twist.
