Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package oreo cookies
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) peanut butter
- 8 ounces (225 grams) cream cheese, softened
Binding Ingredients:
- 1 cup (170 grams) chocolate chips
Optional Decorative Ingredient:
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Pulverize Oreo cookies in a food processor until they transform into fine, sandy crumbs.
- Incorporate softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter into the cookie crumbs, blending thoroughly until a uniform mixture forms.
- Craft compact, uniform spheres from the mixture, carefully positioning them on a parchment-lined baking tray.
- Gently melt chocolate chips using a microwave (30-second intervals) or double boiler method, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Delicately immerse each cookie sphere into the molten chocolate, ensuring complete coverage, then optionally scatter decorative sprinkles across the surface.
- Transfer the chocolate-coated treats to the refrigerator for approximately 15-20 minutes, allowing them to solidify and develop a crisp exterior.
- Once chilled and set, remove from the refrigerator and serve at room temperature for optimal flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use a food processor for ultra-fine Oreo crumbs, ensuring a smooth texture and consistent mixture.
- Add cream cheese at room temperature to blend seamlessly with Oreo crumbs and peanut butter, preventing lumpy consistency.
- Chill the mixture for 15-20 minutes before rolling into balls to make handling easier and prevent sticking to hands.
- For gluten-free version, swap regular Oreos with gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies to accommodate dietary restrictions.
