Decadent Oreo balls with creamy filling and a chocolate coating, perfect for festive celebrations.

# Ingredient List:

→ Oreo Ball Filling

01 - 1 package (14.3 ounces) Oreo cookies
02 - 8 ounces cream cheese, softened

→ Chocolate Coating

03 - 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
04 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

→ Decorations

05 - Red or pink sprinkles, heart-shaped sprinkles, or edible glitter (optional)

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Place Oreo cookies in a large zip-top bag or food processor and crush until finely ground. Use a rolling pin if using a bag.
02 - In a mixing bowl, blend crushed Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
03 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls. Position balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
04 - Refrigerate the shaped balls for at least 2 hours or until firm.
05 - Melt chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between sessions, or use a double boiler. Stir in vegetable oil for a smooth, glossy finish.
06 - Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, coating thoroughly. Use a fork to lift out, tapping off excess chocolate.
07 - Transfer coated balls to the parchment-lined tray and immediately garnish with sprinkles or edible glitter if desired.
08 - Refrigerate the coated balls for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until the chocolate is fully set.
09 - Once set, serve immediately or store chilled until ready to enjoy.

# Supplementary Details:

01 - For best results, allow the Oreo balls to fully chill before coating to ensure they maintain shape during dipping.
