Why you will love these

Fun, no-bake treat
Just 3 ingredients
Make ahead. Form Oreo balls one day, dip them in chocolate the next. Finished balls keep well in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.
Change the flavor with different Oreos.
Decorate with seasonal sprinkles or colored candy melts.

Ingredient notes

Mint Oreos give this recipe a St. Patrick's Day vibe. Classic, golden, and peanut butter varieties are also great options. Avoid the double-stuffed Oreos. The extra filling will affect the consistency. This recipe uses a 20-ounce package - or 40 cookies.
Cream cheese - Use block-style cream cheese, not the softer, spreadable variety that comes in the tub.
Chocolate - I prefer using Ghirardelli candy melts. They melt easily with a smooth consistency which makes them ideal for dipping and coating. Good-quality baking bars can also be used. Avoid chocolate chips since they contain additives that affect how they melt.

Step-by-step instructions

See the recipe card for complete instructions and ingredient amounts.

Add the cookies to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the cookies resemble crumbs.
Add the cream cheese and blend until it is evenly incorporated with the crumbs.

Using a tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Roll the dough into balls. If the dough is tacky, refrigerate for 30-60 minutes before rolling it into balls. Freeze the balls for 30 minutes until firm.

Place the melting wafers in a glass (microwave-safe) bowl.
Heat in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring in between each interval, until fully melted and smooth.

Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each ball into the chocolate to coat. Tap the fork on the side of the bowl to allow the excess chocolate to drip off. Transfer the ball to a parchment-lined baking sheet, using a toothpick to slide the Oreo ball off of the fork.
If decorating with sprinkles, add quickly before the chocolate sets. If using a contrasting colored candy melt, allow the chocolate to set before drizzling with melted chocolate.

Expert Tips

Soften the cream cheese to room temperature so it blends smoothly with the cookie crumbs.
If the dough is tacky, refrigerate the portioned dough for 30-60 minutes before rolling it into balls. The amount of time will depend on how soft the cream cheese is or how warm it is in your kitchen.
Freeze the dough balls for 15-30 minutes right before dipping them in chocolate. I find it is much easier to dip the balls when they are very firm.
If the cookie balls are falling apart, you may have used too many cookies or not enough cream cheese.
To make ahead, portion the cookie mixture into balls, cover, and refrigerate for up to one day before coating them with chocolate.
To add seasonal color, use Wilton candy melts for dipping.
