Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate and Coating:
- 8 oz milk chocolate chips
- 8 oz white chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Oreo Base:
- 36 Oreo cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
Reeses Peanut Butter:
- 1/2 cup Reeses peanut butter chips
- 1/4 cup Reeses peanut butter, creamy
Decorative Topping:
- 4 Reeses peanut butter cups, chopped
- 2 tbsp Reeses pieces, crushed
Instructions
- Pulse Oreo cookies in a food processor until they transform into fine, uniform crumbs, creating a powdery texture.
- Blend softened cream cheese with the Oreo crumbs until a cohesive, moldable mixture forms, ensuring no dry patches remain.
- Incorporate creamy peanut butter and peanut butter chips into the Oreo base, mixing thoroughly to create a rich, indulgent filling.
- Roll the combined mixture into uniform, bite-sized spheres, placing them on a parchment-lined tray.
- Chill the Oreo balls in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up their structure and enhance flavor melding.
- Melt milk chocolate chips with vegetable oil in a microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth and glossy at 50% power.
- Carefully dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted milk chocolate, ensuring complete and even coating.
- Place chocolate-covered balls back on the parchment paper and refrigerate for 10 minutes to set the chocolate shell.
- Melt white chocolate chips using the same microwave technique, creating a contrasting coating.
- Drizzle white chocolate over the milk chocolate-covered balls for a decorative finish.
- Sprinkle chopped Reeses peanut butter cups and crushed Reeses pieces on top while the chocolate is still wet.
- Return the decorated Oreo balls to the refrigerator for a final 15-minute chill to solidify the coatings completely.
Notes
- Crush Oreos completely to avoid chunky texture, ensuring a smooth, consistent base for perfect binding.
- Use room temperature cream cheese to blend seamlessly with Oreo crumbs, preventing lumpy mixture and promoting even distribution.
- Chill Oreo balls before chocolate coating to prevent melting and create a crisp, clean chocolate shell that adheres perfectly.
- Consider dairy-free alternatives like vegan cream cheese and dairy-free chocolate for those with dietary restrictions, maintaining the recipe’s delicious essence while accommodating different nutritional needs.
