how to make Oreo Balls

Ingredients :

• 30 (340g) regular or gluten free Oreo cookies
• 3 tablespoons (45g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2-5 tablespoons whole milk
• 8 ounces (225g) dark, semi-sweet, or white chocolate, chopped*
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil (optional)

Directions :

1. Line a medium-sized baking sheet or cutting board with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In the bowl of a large food processor, add in the Oreos (with the filling). Grind until the Oreos become very fine and crumbly.
3. Add your melted butter and 2 tablespoons of milk to the Oreo crumbs. Pulse the mixture until it’s well moistened and sticks together without crumbling. If needed, pulse in more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture comes together.
4. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them between your hands into smooth balls. Arrange on your parchment-lined baking sheet.
5. If the mixture is too crumbly to roll, blend in some more milk and try again. If you accidentally add too much milk and it’s too sticky, scoop out the portions and drop them onto the baking sheet. Chill in the freezer for 5-10 minutes or until firm enough to roll smoothly.
6. Place the Oreo balls in the freezer to chill for at least 15 minutes or until solid before dipping in chocolate.
7. Melt the chocolate in your microwave or on the stove over a double boiler. To melt in the microwave, place the chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 10-second bursts, pausing after each one to stir until melted and smooth. To melt on the stovetop, fill a pot with 1 inch of water over high heat until steaming but not boiling. Reduce heat to low, and place chocolate in a bowl that fits into your pot without touching the water. Stir frequently until melted.
8. If using, mix the oil into the melted chocolate and let it cool slightly for about 5 minutes. If the chocolate is too hot, it may melt the Oreo balls!
9. Drop one Oreo ball into the melted chocolate and quickly toss to coat. Use a fork or chocolate dipping tool to lift it up and shake gently to let the excess chocolate drip off.
10. Place the chocolate-dipped Oreo ball back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. You can leave them plain or add flaky sea salt or crushed Oreo crumbs while the chocolate is still wet. Drizzle the tops with white chocolate after the coating has set.
11. Chill the Oreo balls in the fridge or freezer until the chocolate layer is firm. Store in the fridge until ready to serve!

how to serve Oreo Balls

Oreo Balls can be served as a decadent treat at parties or celebrations. Simply arrange them on a nice plate or in a decorative box for gifting. They are perfect for snacking and can be enjoyed with coffee or milk. Feel free to customize the toppings to suit your taste!

how to store Oreo Balls

To keep your Oreo Balls fresh, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They can last for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them. Just make sure to separate each ball with parchment paper so they do not stick together.

tips to make Oreo Balls

• For a smoother texture, make sure to crush the Oreos finely.
• Experiment with different types of chocolate for dipping to find your favorite flavor.
• If you want to make them even more special, you can add sprinkles on top before the chocolate cools.

variation

You can try different cookie flavors, like chocolate mint Oreos or peanut butter Oreos, to change the taste of these delightful treats. You can also add different toppings such as chopped nuts, coconut flakes, or even a liqueur flavoring to the chocolate for an adult twist.

FAQs

1. Can I use reduced-fat or sugar-free Oreos?
Yes, you can use reduced-fat or sugar-free Oreos, but the texture and flavor may vary slightly.

2. How long do Oreo Balls need to chill?
They need to chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes before dipping in chocolate. After coating, chill until the chocolate is set.

3. Can I use almond bark instead of chocolate?
Absolutely! Almond bark is a great substitute and is easy to melt and work with, giving a nice smooth coating.
