Main Ingredients
- 20 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
- 4 oz (about 110g) cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 4 Reese’s peanut butter cups, chopped
- 1 cup chocolate chips (milk or dark), for coating
- Crush the Oreos: Start by placing Oreo cookies in a food processor or a sealable plastic bag and crush them into fine crumbs. The finer the crumbs, the smoother the texture of your No-Bake Reese’s Oreo Balls will be.
- Mix in cream cheese and powdered sugar: In a large bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Use a spatula or your hands to mix until it forms a sticky dough that holds together easily.
- Add chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups: Fold in chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups to evenly distribute that delicious peanut butter flavor throughout the mixture.
- Shape into balls: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands, placing each ball on a parchment-lined tray as you go. This step is fun and hands-on, perfect for involving kids!
- Chill before coating: Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes to let the balls firm up. This step ensures the coating sets properly later on.
- Melt chocolate and coat: Using a microwave or double boiler, melt the chocolate chips until smooth. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage, then place back on parchment paper.
- Chill again to set: Return the coated balls to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set and firm.
Notes
- Choose room temperature cream cheese for easier blending and a smooth mixture.
- Use wax or parchment paper to prevent sticking during chilling and coating.
- Crush cookies finely for a cohesive dough that holds together well without crumbling.
- Try white chocolate coating for a festive look and different flavor profile.
- Use a fork or dipping tool for easier, less messy chocolate dipping and coating.
