Ingredients
Scale
- 36 golden oreo cookies (finely crushed (15.25 oz pkg.))
- 8 oz. brick cream cheese (softened)
- 1 lb. almond bark (candi-quik, melted)
- 1–2 oz freeze dried strawberries (finely crushed)
Instructions
- Crush the Golden Oreo cookies using a blender or a sealed plastic bag; mix until finely crushed.
- Combine the crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese until the mixture is smooth.
- Finely crush the freeze dried strawberries, using a blender or chop them for larger pieces if desired.
- Incorporate the strawberries into the cookie mixture and combine well.
- Utilize a cookie scoop to portion out about 1.5 tablespoons of the mixture and shape each into a ball.
- Arrange the Oreo balls on a parchment or wax paper-lined cookie sheet.
- Freeze the shaped balls for 20-30 minutes before dipping in chocolate.
- Melt the almond bark in the microwave, stirring until smooth after approximately 1 minute and 20 seconds, returning if needed in 15-second intervals.
- Carefully dip each balled mixture in the melted chocolate and place back on the lined pan.
- Add pink or red food coloring to the leftover melted chocolate; drizzle it over the dipped Oreo balls using a small ziplock bag with a snipped corner.
- Remove the cream filling from leftover Oreos and crush the cookies.
- Sprinkle the crumbled Oreos on top of each Oreo Ball once the chocolate has set.
- Trim any excess chocolate around the bottom of the Oreo balls for a clean finish.
Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for easy mixing.
Experiment with different types of chocolate coating based on your preference.
Consider different toppings or drizzles to customize your Oreo balls.
