INGREDIENTS
- 12.2 oz Oreos I used “Winter” edition with red filling
- 4 oz. cream cheese softened
- 4 oz. dark chocolate melting wafers Ghirardelli
- small handful of chocolate chips
- fleur de sel
- sprinkles optional
INSTRUCTIONS
-
Line a cookie sheet with wax paper/parchment paper/a silicone mat and set aside.
-
Add your Oreos to a food processor and pulse until you have fine crumbs – it should be sand-like in appearance. (or you can use a zip top bag & a rolling pin)
-
Pour the crumbs into the bowl of a stand mixer and add the softened cream cheese. Mix well until fully combined.
-
Use a cookie scoop to scoop out balls of the mixture (use your hands to roll them, if necessary) and line them up on your prepared cookie sheet. Mine made about 25 balls.
-
Place the entire cookie sheet in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to firm them up.
-
After a half hour, remove the pan then roll the balls in your hands to smooth them out.
-
Sprinkle a tiny pinch of fleur de sel over each ball (did you hear me say “tiny pinch”? I mean it, tiny). Place back in the freezer while you prepare the melted chocolate.
-
Put the chocolate melting wafers in a microwave safe bowl and heat for about 30 seconds then stir. Continue heating at 15 second intervals and stirring until fully melted.
-
Remove the balls from the freezer, stick them with a toothpick to use as a handle and swirl into the melted chocolate. I used a spatula to help coat all the sides. Work quickly as it’s easier with frozen balls and warm chocolate. As the balls start to warm up, they’ll slide off the toothpick. Pop them back into the freezer if they get too warm as you’re working on them.
-
Once finished dipping, let the chocolate coating harden. I popped mine into the fridge to speed things up.
-
In a small microwave safe bowl, add a small handful of chocolate chips and microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then do another 15 seconds, if necessary. Let the chocolate slightly cool then spoon it into a small plastic baggie and snip off the very tip of the bag so you can drizzle the chocolate over the balls.
-
Top with sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
-
Keep refrigerated.
