Reese’s Oreo Balls Bliss (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Cookie Filling Base

01 - 1/2 cup (125g) creamy peanut butter
02 - 8 oz (225g) softened cream cheese
03 - 36 Oreo cookies (1 regular pack)

→ Chocolate Layer

04 - 12 oz (340g) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips

→ Optional Decorations

05 - Sea salt
06 - Sprinkles
07 - Crushed peanuts
08 - Oreo crumbles

# Instructions:

01 - Break the Oreos into fine bits with a food processor. If you'd rather, stick them in a plastic bag and smash them with a rolling pin until finely crushed.
02 - Toss the cookie crumbs, cream cheese, and peanut butter into a bowl. Mix it all together with a stand or hand mixer until it's smooth. You should be able to press it, and it sticks together.
03 - Grab some of the mix, form into 1-inch balls in your hands, and set them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
04 - Pop the tray of balls in the fridge for at least an hour so they firm up, making dipping easier.
05 - Microwave the chocolate chips in a bowl in short bursts of 20-30 seconds. Stir between each session until silky smooth. Don't let it overheat.
06 - Grab a fork or dipping tool to dunk the chilled balls into the melted chocolate. Let the extra chocolate drip off before placing them back onto the parchment-covered tray.
07 - While the chocolate's still wet, sprinkle optional toppings like sea salt, crushed Oreos, peanuts, or even sprinkles on the balls.
08 - Stick the coated balls back in the fridge for a half-hour or so until the chocolate firms up completely.
09 - After the chocolate hardens, dig in! Keep extras in a sealed container in the fridge.

# Notes:

01 - Go for a high-quality chocolate for a shiny and rich outer layer.
02 - Make sure to chill the mix properly before dunking, so the balls stay intact.
