Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package (14.3 ounces / 405 grams) Oreo cookies
- 1 package (8 ounces / 226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (170 grams) Reeses peanut butter chips
Coating Ingredients:
- 1 cup (170 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Optional: crushed Reeses Pieces or chopped peanuts for coating
Instructions
- Pulverize Oreo cookies in a food processor until they transform into fine, uniform crumbs.
- Incorporate softened cream cheese into the cookie crumbs, mixing thoroughly until the texture becomes homogeneous and creamy.
- Craft compact spheres approximately one inch in diameter from the blended mixture, positioning them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Utilize microwave in 30-second increments to gently melt Reeses peanut butter chips, stirring between intervals until achieving a silky consistency.
- Carefully immerse each cookie sphere into the liquefied peanut butter chips, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Refrigerate the peanut butter-coated balls for approximately 30 minutes to facilitate firmness.
- Melt semi-sweet chocolate chips using identical microwave technique, stirring until achieving smooth, glossy texture.
- Submerge the chilled cookie spheres into melted chocolate, guaranteeing comprehensive coating.
- Optional: Embellish chocolate-covered balls with crushed Reeses Pieces or finely chopped peanuts for enhanced texture and visual appeal.
- Return decorated balls to refrigerator, allowing chocolate to solidify completely for approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Transfer the finished Reeses Oreo Balls to a serving platter, ready to delight taste buds.
Notes
- Crush Oreos thoroughly to ensure a smooth, consistent texture without large cookie chunks for better binding and mouthfeel.
- Soften cream cheese at room temperature to blend seamlessly with cookie crumbs, preventing lumpy or grainy consistency.
- Use high-quality chocolate and peanut butter chips for richer, more decadent flavor profile and smoother melting.
- Chill balls between coating layers to help maintain shape and create a cleaner, more professional-looking final product.
