Ingredients:
1 package (15.25 oz) Oreo cookies
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter (for that Reese’s flavor!)
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for a smoother chocolate coating)
Crushed Oreos or chopped peanuts for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Crush the Oreos:
In a food processor, pulse Oreo cookies until finely crushed. Alternatively, place them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin for easy cleanup.
2. Mix the Peanut Butter Oreo Filling:
In a large bowl, combine the crushed Oreos, softened cream cheese, and creamy peanut butter. Stir until smooth and fully combined, achieving a delicious Oreo and peanut butter mixture.
3. Form the Balls:
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place the Reese’s Oreo balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
4. Chill the Balls:
Refrigerate the balls for about 30 minutes to firm up, making it easier to dip in chocolate.
5. Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil (optional for a shiny finish). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate is smooth and melted.
6. Coat the Balls in Chocolate:
Using a fork, dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring an even coat. Let any excess chocolate drip off, then return each ball to the parchment-lined sheet.
7. Add Garnish:
Top each chocolate-coated Oreo ball with crushed Oreos or chopped peanuts before the chocolate sets, adding a final touch of crunch and extra flavor.
8. Chill Again:
Return the coated Oreo balls to the refrigerator for an additional 15-20 minutes until the chocolate is fully hardened.
