Main Ingredients
- 1 package Oreo cookies (about 14.3 oz or 36 cookies), crushed into fine crumbs
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (room temperature)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 12 oz chocolate chips or melting chocolate
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for chocolate coating)
- Crush the Oreos: Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor or a sealed plastic bag and crush them into fine crumbs, ensuring a consistent texture without large chunks.
- Mix peanut butter and powdered sugar: In a mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter with powdered sugar and stir until smooth with no lumps remaining, creating the rich binding mixture.
- Combine Oreo crumbs and peanut butter mixture: Gently fold the Oreo crumbs into the peanut butter mixture until evenly combined and a dough-like consistency forms that sticks together but is not overly sticky.
- Shape into balls: Use your hands or a small cookie scoop to roll the mixture into bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
- Melt and dip in chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips with butter (if using) over a double boiler or in short microwave bursts, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy. Dip each ball fully into the melted chocolate and return to the lined tray.
- Chill and enjoy: Refrigerate the chocolate-coated balls for at least 30 minutes to allow the coating to harden, then serve and enjoy.
Notes
- Use room temperature peanut butter for smoother mixing and easier shaping.
- If the mixture feels too soft, chill it before rolling to firm it up.
- Microwave chocolate in short bursts to prevent burning and maintain smoothness.
- Adjust powdered sugar quantity to customize sweetness and fudginess.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
