This is where you can get a little stress relief! Grab a food processor (if you have one) and pulse the Oreos until they’re finely crushed. If you don’t have a food processor, don’t worry. Just place the Oreos in a plastic zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin or your hands. It’s surprisingly fun!

I love this part because it feels like you’re getting the best of both worlds: working out some frustration while also creating something absolutely delicious. I’ll often sneak a few Oreo crumbs as I go—can you blame me? It’s like free samples!

Now, you don’t want to pulverize them into dust. You want a nice, fine crumb, but with just enough texture to give each bite a little crunch. Trust me, those crumbs are going to work their magic when we mix them with the cream cheese.

Now that your Oreos are crushed to perfection, it’s time to mix them with the cream cheese. This is where the magic happens. Add the softened cream cheese to the Oreo crumbs and use a spatula or your hands (yes, your hands!) to combine everything until it’s smooth. The mixture will be thick, but that's exactly what we want for a rich, decadent ball.

This is also where you can get a little creative. Sometimes, I’ll add a tiny bit of vanilla extract or even a sprinkle of salt to balance out the sweetness, but it’s totally optional! Just make sure everything is well-mixed, so each Oreo Ball has that perfect flavor.

When I first made these, I was so amazed at how simple it was to get that creamy, cookie-packed mixture. Honestly, it’s like a shortcut to dessert perfection. Plus, I love how easily you can adjust it—more cream cheese if you want it richer, or a little more crushed Oreo if you’re all about that cookie crunch!

Once the Oreo and cream cheese mixture is ready, it’s time to roll them into balls. I use a tablespoon to scoop out a little bit of the mixture, roll it between my palms, and form a nice ball. You can make them as big or small as you like, but I find about 1-inch balls are the perfect size for popping into your mouth.

This part is a little messy, but that’s all part of the fun! Don’t worry if they’re not perfectly shaped—they’re homemade, and that’s what makes them special. Plus, I’m all about the “rustic” look in the kitchen.

Place the formed balls on a baking sheet lined with wax paper or parchment paper to prevent sticking. It also makes cleanup a breeze later on. And let’s be honest, we all want the easiest cleanup possible, right?

Now that your Oreo balls are all rolled up, it’s time to chill them for a bit. Place the baking sheet in the fridge and let them chill for at least 30 minutes, or until they’re firm enough to dip in chocolate. This step is key—it ensures that the balls hold their shape and make it easier to coat them in that delicious chocolate.

I know, I know—waiting for them to chill is the hardest part! But trust me, it’s worth it. The anticipation only makes that first bite of chocolate-covered Oreo bliss even better. Plus, while they’re chilling, you’ve got time to get the chocolate ready.

While the Oreo balls are chilling, it’s the perfect time to melt the chocolate. You can do this in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler. I like to microwave my chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until it’s smooth and melted.

Now, for the fun part—dipping the Oreo balls in chocolate! Grab each ball with a fork and dip it into the melted chocolate, covering it completely. Let the excess chocolate drip off, then carefully place the ball back on the baking sheet. You can also drizzle some extra chocolate over the top if you want to make them look extra fancy!

If you’re feeling super extra, you can sprinkle the chocolate-coated Oreo balls with crushed Oreos, sprinkles, or even a little sea salt. Seriously, the possibilities here are endless. And don’t even get me started on how amazing they look once the chocolate sets!

Once all your Oreo balls are coated in chocolate, let them sit at room temperature or pop them back in the fridge to let the chocolate harden. This usually takes about 15 minutes, but if you’re in a hurry, you can speed up the process by putting them in the fridge.

The chocolate will firm up perfectly, giving your Oreo Balls that irresistible chocolate crunch when you bite into them. Trust me, your patience will be rewarded!
