Description
These Peanut Butter Oreo Cookie Balls are a no-bake dessert made with crushed Oreos, creamy peanut butter, and rich chocolate coating. Perfectly bite-sized, these treats are smooth, sweet, and irresistibly addictive.
Ingredients
- 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips or candy melts
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate coating)
- Crushed peanuts or crushed Oreos for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs, softened cream cheese, and peanut butter. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
- Roll the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the balls for about 20–30 minutes, or until firm.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips (and coconut oil if using) in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each cookie ball into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Place back on the parchment paper.
- Sprinkle with crushed peanuts or Oreo crumbs for decoration, if desired.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate coating is set.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use dark, milk, or white chocolate for different flavor variations.
- For extra crunch, mix in crushed peanuts or pretzel bits.
- Best served chilled — they soften slightly at room temperature.
- Freeze for up to 2 months in an airtight container.
