This is a partnered post with yummly.com and Oreo. All opinions are my own, and may differ from yours.
The holidays are all about sharing and there’s nothing better than sharing America’s favorite cookie – except when that cookie is crushed and rolled up into the delicious, simple goodness of an OREO cookie ball, a bite-sized treat made with three easy ingredients. OREO cookies, Cream Cheese and Chocolate, yum!!
With those delicious ingredients in mind, my sister-in-law Bobbi Jo put her creativity to the test with these Holiday Oreo Cookie Balls. Adding white and milk chocolate, edible holiday sequins, and sugar sprinkles, this holiday dessert recipe was not only incredibly tasty, but beautifully presented as well.
And while the creation of some holiday treats can only add to the stress of such a busy time of year, OREO cookie balls are easy to make and a great way to spread a bit of festive cheer to help friends and family keep their holiday spirits high during the Christmas crunch! The best part about this dessert recipe is there’s no baking required! So let the kids join in on the fun with this easy-peasy recipe.
Oreo Cookie Balls
Ingredients
1 pkg. (8 oz.) brick cream cheese, softened
36 OREO Cookies, finely crushed (about 3 cups)
4 pkg. (4 oz. each) semi-sweet baking chocolate, melted

Notes
Try adding peppermint extract to the cream cheese for an extra kick of flavor!

These are SO festive-looking, perfect for the holidays! And I am fascinated by the edible sequins – never even heard of those before, but now I HAVE to look for them. Thanks, LOL!

Wow! You’ve got my uncreative mind flowing. Maybe, I could try other hard cookies and dried fruit chopped up?
Jessica says
We are going to have to make these. My 4 year old nieces love cake pops, and we tried to make them together before, but they are too little to help with a lot of the process so they ended up just watching me do a lot of it. This is a great recipe for letting them get in on the action:)
Jennifer H says
Absolutely!

What a great idea I love it and for those that don’t like chocolate you would always use vanilla Oreos too.
Jennifer H says
Yes, true Denise!

I love the white chocolate oreo cookie balls with the little white snowflakes and blue sprinkles. They’re very pretty.
I think I will make these with my little granddaughter. She is three, and she would love rolling the cookie balls around in sugar, and candy decorations.
Jennifer H says
Absolutely! The no bake option makes is great for kids. Hope you girls enjoy!
