Ingredients

For the Cookie Balls

  • 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting.

Instructions

Crush the Oreos

In a food processor, crush the Oreo cookies until they are a fine crumb. Transfer to a mixing bowl.

Mix Ingredients

Add the peanut butter and powdered sugar to the crushed Oreos. Mix until well combined, forming a dough-like consistency.

Form the Balls

Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Chill the Balls

Refrigerate the cookie balls for about 30 minutes until firm.

Melt the Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

Coat the Cookie Balls

Dip each chilled cookie ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Return to the baking sheet.

Set and Serve

Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or refrigerate until firm. Enjoy your Peanut Butter Oreo Cookie Balls!

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Storing Your Cookie Balls

To keep your Peanut Butter Oreo Cookie Balls fresh, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will help maintain their firmness and prevent the chocolate coating from melting. They can last up to a week in the fridge, making them a great make-ahead treat for busy weeks or special occasions.

If you want to prepare them even further in advance, consider freezing the cookie balls. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet until frozen, then transfer them to a freezer-safe container. They can be stored for up to three months and enjoyed straight from the freezer for a cool, refreshing snack.

Serving Suggestions

Peanut Butter Oreo Cookie Balls make a delightful standalone treat, but they can also be paired with other desserts for a more elaborate dessert table. Serve them alongside cupcakes, brownies, or a scoop of ice cream for a delicious dessert platter that will impress your guests.

For a fun twist, consider serving these cookie balls with a side of dipping sauces, such as melted chocolate, peanut butter, or caramel. This interactive element can make your dessert experience even more enjoyable and allows guests to customize their treats to their liking.
