Ingredients
  

  • 36 Oreo cookies about 1½ cups crumbs
  • 8 oz (225 g) full-fat cream cheese softened (sub: dairy-free cream cheese for vegan)
  • 8 oz (225 g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chopped (or 1 cup chocolate chips)
  • 4 oz (115 g) white chocolate chopped (optional swirl or dip)
  • Sprinkles or crushed nuts for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Place Oreos in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form—no chunky bits. If you don’t have a processor, seal cookies in a freezer bag and crush with a rolling pin until you have about 1½ cups of crumbs.
  • In a medium bowl, combine crumbs and softened cream cheese. Use a sturdy spoon or your hands to mix until a uniform, sticky dough forms. You’ll know it’s ready when it holds together without crumbling.
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll between your palms into smooth spheres. If the dough sticks, chill it 10 minutes first. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Pop the tray into the fridge for 20–30 minutes, so the balls firm up—this helps the chocolate coating adhere.
  • In a heat-proof bowl over simmering water (double boiler), melt your chocolate, stirring until glossy and smooth. Alternatively, microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each.
  • Using a fork or dipping tool, lower each ball into the melted chocolate, tap off any excess, then place back on parchment. If you’re adding white-chocolate drizzle, wait until the first coat sets, remelt the white chocolate, then drizzle with a spoon. Top with sprinkles or nuts while wet.
  • Return to the fridge for 15–20 minutes, until the chocolate is fully set.

Notes

Store these dessert bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 10 days—though they rarely last that long! For longer keeping, freeze in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge; no reheating needed. Make-ahead tip: Assemble and freeze the uncoated centers; dip and decorate when you’re ready to serve for extra-fresh crunch.
