Reese’s Oreo Balls Delight (Print Version)

# 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:

01 - Use a food processor or resealable plastic bag and rolling pin to crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs.
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.
03 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture. Roll into balls about 1 inch in diameter and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
04 - Refrigerate the Oreo balls for at least 1 hour to firm up.
05 - Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
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.
07 - Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle with crushed peanuts, Oreo crumbs, sea salt, or sprinkles if desired.
08 - Refrigerate the coated Oreo balls for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate is firm.
09 - Serve the chilled Oreo balls. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

# Notes:

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