Oreo dessert balls make a nice gift or a delicious addition to any party tray. They can be decorated to match any occasion. Most recipes call for 8 ounces of cream cheese. I only use 4 ounces because I want my Oreo dessert balls to be firm enough to dip in the coating and not turn into little mud balls while setting out on trays in heated rooms. I also like to use bark for the coating instead of chocolate chips. The bark gives a harder shell to hold the shape of the cream cheese cookie filling.

Ingredients For oreo dessert balls

  • 1 (15 ounce) package oreo cookies, crushed
  • 4 ounces of cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (24 ounce) package white almond bark or 1 (24 ounce) chocolate almond bark

How To Make oreo dessert balls

  • 1
    In a food processor crush the Oreo cookies until crumbly, doing one sleeve at a time.
  • 2
    Empty the Oreo crumbs into a mixing bowl; add the cream cheese to the Oreo crumbs.
  • 3
    Using the paddle on a large mixer, mix the cream cheese and Oreos on low to medium speed until well blended. It will look like mud….not to worry.
  • 4
    Shape the Oreo mixture into small walnut size balls about 1 inch. Place them on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper. Put the sheet of oreo balls in the freezer for about 30-60 minutes.
  • 5
    You can either coat the Oreo balls all white, or all chocolate, or a combination of half and half.
  • 6
    In a double boiler or make shift double boiler, melt the chocolate.
  • 7
    Using a tooth pick, dip the Oreo balls into the melted chocolate; gently shake excess coating off. Set dipped oreo balls on a cookie sheet, and gently twist the tooth pick out. Continue until all the Oreo dessert balls are coated.
  • 8
    After you have finished coating, you can drizzle some melted chocolate or white bark over the balls, or leave them plain. Chill in refrigerator to set the chocolate.
