Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 36 Oreos
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

Coating

  • 10 oz Ghirardelli Dark chocolate melting wafers
  • 10 oz Ghirardelli White vanilla melting wafers
  • Christmas sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Process Oreos: Add the Oreos to a food processor and pulse until they are finely crushed into crumbs.
  2. Combine with Cream Cheese: Add the softened cream cheese to the food processor containing the Oreo crumbs and pulse until the mixture is well combined but still slightly textured.
  3. Mix Thoroughly: Transfer the mixture to a bowl and use a rubber spatula to mix thoroughly, making sure all crumbs are evenly coated with cream cheese.
  4. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  5. Scoop Balls: Use a mini cookie scoop (about 1.5 tablespoons) to portion out the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Shape Balls: Roll the scooped portions into smooth balls using your hands.
  7. Chill: Place the Oreo balls in the fridge or freezer for 30 minutes to firm up before coating.
  8. Melt Dark Chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl in short bursts or using a double boiler until smooth and silky.
  9. Coat with Dark Chocolate: Dip half of the chilled Oreo balls into the melted dark chocolate, ensuring full coverage. Immediately sprinkle with Christmas sprinkles before the chocolate sets, then place back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  10. Melt White Chocolate: Melt the white vanilla melting wafers using the same method until smooth.
  11. Coat with White Chocolate: Dip the remaining Oreo balls into the white chocolate coating, top with Christmas sprinkles immediately, and return to the baking sheet.
  12. Final Chill: Refrigerate the coated Oreo balls until the chocolate is completely firm, about 20-30 minutes. Serve cold or store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • You can substitute the Ghirardelli melting wafers with any high-quality chocolate melts or chocolate chips.
  • If you don’t have a food processor, place Oreos in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
  • The Oreo balls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week in an airtight container.
  • Freezing the balls before dipping helps them hold their shape better when coated in chocolate.
  • Be careful not to overheat the melting wafers to prevent seizing or burning the chocolate.
