How to Make Reese’s Oreo Balls

A Simple, No-Bake Method for a Crowd-Pleasing Dessert

You’ll only need about 20 minutes of hands-on time to get these treats ready. The rest is chill time—literally. Let’s get started.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS:

Step 1: Crush the Oreos
Place the Oreos (cream filling and all) in a food processor. Pulse until you get fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, place them in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.

Step 2: Mix the Filling
In a medium bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs, softened cream cheese, and peanut butter. Mix until smooth and evenly blended. The mixture should be thick and scoopable.

Step 3: Roll into Balls
Use a cookie scoop or spoon to form 1-inch balls. Roll between your palms to smooth and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 4: Chill
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or freeze for 15–20 minutes until firm. This makes dipping much easier.

Step 5: Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and pourable.

Step 6: Dip the Oreo Balls
Using a fork or dipping tool, lower each chilled ball into the melted chocolate. Tap off the excess and place back onto the parchment-lined tray. Add your desired toppings while the chocolate is still wet.

Step 7: Chill to Set
Return to the fridge and chill for 20–30 minutes until the chocolate is completely set.

HELPFUL TIPS:

• Use room temperature cream cheese so it blends more easily.
• Don’t skip the chill steps—they make the balls easier to dip.
• Customize your topping with crushed Reese’s cups, nuts, or festive sprinkles.
• Store in mini cupcake liners for a clean and pretty presentation.
• Drizzle extra peanut butter on top for that classic Reese’s look.
