Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients List (with Measurements)

Here’s everything you need to make Reese’s Oreo Balls. This recipe makes approximately 24 balls, but you can easily double or halve the ingredients depending on your needs.

For the Reese’s Oreo Balls:

  • 36 Oreo cookies (1 standard package)
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (125g) creamy peanut butter
  • 12 oz (340g) milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips (for coating)

Optional Toppings:

  • Crushed peanuts
  • Oreo crumbs
  • Sea salt
  • Sprinkles

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Crush the Oreos

Start by crushing the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. You can do this in a food processor or by placing the cookies in a resealable plastic bag and using a rolling pin to crush them. Make sure the crumbs are finely ground for the best texture.

2. Mix the Filling

In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos, softened cream cheese, and creamy peanut butter. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to blend the ingredients until they are fully combined and smooth. The mixture should be thick and hold together when pressed.

3. Roll into Balls

Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the Oreo mixture and roll them into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

4. Chill the Balls

Place the baking sheet with the Oreo balls in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour. This will help the balls firm up and make them easier to coat in chocolate.

5. Melt the Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each interval until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.

6. Dip the Oreo Balls

Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, making sure it is fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off, then place the coated ball back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

7. Add Toppings (Optional)

If desired, sprinkle the tops of the coated Oreo balls with crushed peanuts, Oreo crumbs, sea salt, or sprinkles before the chocolate sets.

8. Chill to Set

Place the baking sheet with the coated Oreo balls back in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.

9. Serve and Enjoy

Once the chocolate has set, your Reese’s Oreo Balls are ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

Storing Reese’s Oreo Balls

Proper storage is key to maintaining the texture and flavor of your Reese’s Oreo Balls.

  • Refrigeration: Store the Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks when refrigerated. Refrigeration helps keep the chocolate coating firm and the filling fresh.
  • Freezing: If you want to make the Oreo balls ahead of time or keep them for longer, you can freeze them. Place the Oreo balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. To serve, simply thaw them in the refrigerator for a few hours before enjoying.
