3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Oreo Cookie Balls
Servings
Makes about 20–24 balls
Ingredients
-
1 package (14.3 ounces / 36 cookies) Oreo cookies
-
4 ounces (½ cup) creamy peanut butter
-
8 ounces chocolate (milk, dark, or white), for coating
Instructions
1. Prepare the Oreo Mixture
-
Place the Oreo cookies (whole, including filling) in a food processor.
-
Pulse until finely crushed into crumbs.
-
Add peanut butter and process again until the mixture comes together and forms a thick dough.
-
If too dry, add 1 tablespoon more peanut butter.
-
2. Shape the Balls
-
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a smooth ball.
-
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
-
Freeze or refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to firm up.
3. Coat in Chocolate
-
Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
-
Using a fork or dipping tool, coat each chilled ball in melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
-
Return to the parchment-lined tray.
4. Chill and Serve
-
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
-
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Optional Variations
-
Decorate: Drizzle with white chocolate or sprinkle crushed Oreos on top before the coating sets.
-
Crunchy Version: Mix in 1–2 tablespoons of crushed peanuts or Rice Krispies before rolling.
-
Double Chocolate: Use chocolate Oreo cookies instead of classic.
Would you like me to include a version made with cream cheese instead of peanut butter (like traditional Oreo truffles)?
