This hearty Reese's Oreo Balls recipe transforms simple ingredients into decadent chocolate peanut butter treats that disappear within minutes at every gathering I host. The combination of creamy peanut butter and chocolate with the perfect Oreo crunch creates bite-sized heaven that looks impressive despite being incredibly simple to make.

I first created these for my daughter's birthday when our oven broke down unexpectedly. The panic quickly turned to joy when these became the most requested treat at every family gathering since. Even my picky nephews ask for these 'chocolate peanut butter bombs' whenever they visit.

Ingredients

Step-by-Step Instructions

My absolute favorite part of this recipe is watching people's faces when they take their first bite. The way the chocolate shell cracks revealing that creamy center creates an experience that store-bought candy simply can't match. My husband who normally avoids desserts has been caught sneaking these from the refrigerator late at night on multiple occasions.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can I use different types of Oreo cookies?

Yes, you can use any Oreo flavor, such as mint, golden Oreo, or peanut butter Oreo for a unique twist. Each will slightly change the flavor of your dessert.

→ How do I melt chocolate without burning it?

Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl using 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each interval. Alternatively, use a double boiler for gentle, even melting.

→ Can I make these treats ahead of time?

Absolutely! Prepare and chill the balls up to two days before serving. They also freeze well for up to two months in a sealed container.

→ What toppings can I use for added texture?

Try crushed peanuts, Oreo crumbs, sprinkles, or shredded coconut. These toppings add extra flavor and visual appeal.

For a healthier option, use reduced-fat cream cheese, dark chocolate, or gluten-free Oreo cookies. These substitutions maintain great flavor while lightening the treat.

Yield: 24 Servings (Approximately 24 bite-sized treats)

Dietary: Vegetarian

Ingredients

01 36 Oreo cookies
02 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
03 ½ cup (125g) creamy peanut butter
04 12 oz (340g) milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips

→ Optional Toppings

05 Crushed peanuts
06 Oreo crumbs
07 Sea salt
08 Sprinkles

Instructions

Step 01

Use a food processor or resealable plastic bag and rolling pin to crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs.

Step 02

In a large mixing bowl, combine crushed Oreos, softened cream cheese, and creamy peanut butter. Mix with a stand or hand mixer until smooth.

Step 03

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture. Roll into balls about 1 inch in diameter and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 04

Refrigerate the Oreo balls for at least 1 hour to firm up.

Step 05

Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.

Step 06

Dip each chilled Oreo ball in the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Place the coated balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 07

Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle with crushed peanuts, Oreo crumbs, sea salt, or sprinkles if desired.

Step 08

Refrigerate the coated Oreo balls for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate is firm.

Step 09

Serve the chilled Oreo balls. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  1. Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature to mix smoothly with the Oreo crumbs and peanut butter.
  2. Chilling the Oreo balls before coating prevents them from falling apart during dipping.
