Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package oreo cookies
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) creamy peanut butter
- 12 ounces (340 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Sweetener:
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) powdered sugar
Instructions
- Pulverize Oreo cookies into fine, sandy texture using a food processor, ensuring no large chunks remain.
- Combine crushed cookies with creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl, kneading until uniform consistency develops.
- Shape mixture into compact, bite-sized spheres approximately one inch in diameter, positioning them carefully on parchment-lined tray.
- Create smooth chocolate coating by microwaving chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring between intervals until completely liquefied and glossy.
- Delicately submerge each cookie sphere into melted chocolate, rotating to achieve complete, even coverage, then gently return to parchment surface.
- Transfer tray to refrigerator, allowing chocolate to solidify for 30-45 minutes at 40°F, ensuring firm, crisp exterior.
- Once chocolate has hardened, transfer cookie balls to serving platter, ready for indulgent consumption.
- Store remaining treats in sealed container within refrigerator for optimal texture and freshness up to one week.
Notes
- Choose a food processor or rolling pin to crush Oreos into fine, uniform crumbs for the smoothest texture.
- Keep ingredients at room temperature to ensure easier mixing and a more consistent cookie ball mixture.
- Use creamy peanut butter for a smoother consistency and better binding of ingredients.
- Chill the mixture briefly before rolling to prevent sticky hands and create more compact cookie balls.
- Melt chocolate slowly and carefully to avoid burning, stirring frequently for a glossy coating.
- Add extra crushed Oreos on top of chocolate-dipped balls for a decorative and crunchy finish.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week for maximum freshness.
