Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Coating:
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (milk, dark, or white chocolate)
- 1 1/2 cups (340 grams) chocolate chips
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package (15.25 ounces / 432 grams) Oreo cookies
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Transform Oreo cookies into fine, uniform crumbs using a food processor or by crushing within a sealed plastic bag with a rolling pin, ensuring no large chunks remain.
- Blend crushed Oreo crumbs with creamy peanut butter in a mixing bowl, kneading thoroughly until the mixture forms a cohesive, moldable dough with consistent texture.
- Carefully craft uniform spheres approximately 1-inch in diameter, placing each delicately on a parchment-lined baking sheet to maintain consistent shape.
- Utilize microwave in brief 20-second increments to gently melt chocolate chips, stirring between intervals until achieving a smooth, glossy liquid consistency.
- Delicately submerge each prepared ball into melted chocolate, rotating to ensure complete coverage, then gently tap to remove excess chocolate coating.
- Position chocolate-enrobed balls back onto parchment sheet, maintaining space between each piece to prevent contact.
- Refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes or expedite setting by freezing for 15 minutes until chocolate hardens and develops a crisp shell.
- Serve chilled and savor the decadent combination of chocolate, peanut butter, and Oreo flavors.
Notes
- Crush Oreos thoroughly to ensure a smooth, even texture without large cookie chunks that might disrupt the ball’s shape.
- Use room temperature peanut butter for easier mixing and better binding with crushed Oreos, creating a more consistent dough.
- Wet your hands slightly when rolling balls to prevent sticky mixture from clinging to your fingers and achieve uniform, neat shapes.
- For gluten-free option, swap regular Oreos with gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies to accommodate dietary restrictions without compromising taste.
