Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package oreo cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 12 oz reese’s peanut butter cups
Coating Ingredients:
- 16 oz chocolate melting wafers
- 1/4 cup reese’s pieces (optional)
Garnish:
- 2 tbsp crushed reese’s pieces
Instructions
- Pulverize Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or placing them in a sealed plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- Blend softened cream cheese thoroughly with the Oreo crumbs until a uniform mixture forms, creating a dense and consistent texture.
- Chop Reese’s peanut butter cups into small pieces, incorporating them gently into the Oreo-cream cheese mixture.
- Refrigerate the combined mixture for 15-20 minutes to firm up, making it easier to shape into uniform balls.
- Roll the chilled mixture into consistent, bite-sized spheres using clean hands, placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the formed balls for approximately 30 minutes to ensure structural integrity during coating process.
- Melt chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth and completely liquid.
- Carefully dip each frozen ball into melted chocolate, ensuring complete and even coverage using a fork or dipping tool.
- Gently tap off excess chocolate and place coated balls back on parchment paper.
- Immediately sprinkle crushed Reese’s pieces over the chocolate-covered balls before the coating hardens.
- Refrigerate the completed Reese’s Oreo Balls for 10-15 minutes to set the chocolate and achieve a glossy finish.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- Crush Oreos thoroughly to prevent large chunks that might disrupt the smooth texture of the balls, ensuring a consistent and delightful bite.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for easier blending, creating a seamless mixture that holds together perfectly without lumps.
- Chill the mixture before shaping to make rolling easier and prevent sticky hands, resulting in more uniform and professional-looking Oreo balls.
- Experiment with different chocolate coatings like white chocolate or dark chocolate for variety, allowing you to customize the treat to your taste preferences.
