Reese’s Oreo Balls Recipe 🍫🥜
These Reese’s Oreo Balls combine the creamy richness of peanut butter cups, the crunch of Oreos, and a decadent chocolate coating for an irresistible treat. Perfect for holidays, parties, or just indulging at home!
Ingredients:
- 1 package Oreos (14.3 oz, preferably peanut butter Oreos)
- 1 package cream cheese (8 oz, softened)
- Peanut butter cups (one for each Oreo ball)
- Chocolate Candiquik or almond bark (for dipping)
- Toppings: chopped Reese’s pieces and/or peanut butter candy melts for drizzling
Instructions:
1️⃣ Crush the Oreos:
- Allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature.
- Place half of the Oreos in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form.
- Add the remaining Oreos and pulse again until all cookies are finely crushed.
2️⃣ Mix with Cream Cheese:
- Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a mixing bowl.
- Add the softened cream cheese and use a hand mixer to blend until everything is well combined and forms a dough-like texture.
3️⃣ Form the Oreo Balls:
- Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- Use a small cookie scoop to form uniform Oreo balls.
- Press a peanut butter cup inside each Oreo ball, roll into a smooth ball, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the Oreo balls for 20 minutes to firm up.
4️⃣ Melt the Chocolate:
- In a small pot, melt the Chocolate Candiquik or almond bark over low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth.
5️⃣ Coat the Oreo Balls:
- Remove the Oreo balls from the fridge.
- Dip each ball into the melted chocolate using a fork, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Place the coated Oreo balls back onto the baking sheet. Repeat until all balls are covered.
6️⃣ Add Toppings:
- Let the Oreo balls sit for 1 minute before sprinkling with chopped Reese’s pieces to ensure they stick to the chocolate coating.
- If using peanut butter candy melts, wait until the chocolate coating has fully set before drizzling on top.
7️⃣ Let the Oreo Balls Set:
- Allow the Oreo balls to harden at room temperature, or speed up the process by refrigerating them for 10-15 minutes.
Enjoy!
Once set, these Reese’s Oreo Balls are ready to serve! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes:
- For extra peanut butter flavor, consider using peanut butter Oreos as the base.
- You can also experiment with different toppings like chocolate sprinkles, or a drizzle of white chocolate for a festive look.
