Ingredients
- 1 (15.3 oz) package Oreo cookies (about 36 cookies)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 12 oz white candy melts (or vanilla-flavored almond bark)
- Red, white, and blue sprinkles, nonpareils, or sanding sugar for decoration
Instructions
- Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed into crumbs. Alternatively, place cookies in a large zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreo crumbs and softened cream cheese. Mix with a spoon or your hands until thoroughly combined and a dough-like consistency is formed.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill the Oreo balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or 15 minutes in the freezer) to firm them up.
- While the balls are chilling, melt the white candy melts according to package directions (microwave or double boiler). Stir until smooth.
- Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted white candy coating, tapping gently to remove excess. Use a fork or a dipping tool for this.
- Immediately transfer the coated ball back to the parchment-lined baking sheet and decorate with red, white, and blue sprinkles before the coating sets.
- Once all balls are dipped and decorated, return them to the refrigerator for another 15-30 minutes to allow the coating to fully set.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your festive Patriotic Oreo Balls!
