Ingredients
- 1 (14.3 oz) package OREO Cookies
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
- 12 oz white chocolate melting wafers or white chocolate chips
- Red, white, and blue sprinkles
- Optional: red and blue candy melts for drizzling
Instructions
- Finely crush the entire package of OREO cookies (filling included) in a food processor or by placing them in a Ziploc bag and crushing with a rolling pin. You want fine crumbs, but a few small chunks are okay for texture.
- In a large bowl, combine the crushed OREO cookies with the softened cream cheese. Mix well until completely combined and a dough-like consistency is formed.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper.
- Chill the OREO balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or in the freezer for 15 minutes, to ensure they are firm before dipping.
- Melt the white chocolate melting wafers or chips according to package directions. You can use a microwave (heating in 30-second intervals, stirring in between) or a double boiler.
- Dip each chilled OREO ball into the melted white chocolate, using a fork to gently tap off any excess chocolate. Return the dipped ball to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Immediately decorate each white chocolate-coated ball with red, white, and blue sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
- If using, melt red and blue candy melts separately. Once the white chocolate has set on the OREO balls, drizzle the melted red and blue candy melts over them for an extra festive look.
- Chill the decorated OREO balls in the refrigerator for another 15-30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is completely set.
- Store the Patriotic Oreo Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
