Ingredients:

1 package (14.3 ounces) Oreo cookies
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 ounces (about 2 cups) chocolate chips (dark, milk, or white chocolate)
Optional: Crushed nuts, sprinkles, or additional crushed Oreo crumbs for coating

Instructions:

1. Crush Oreos:

Using a food processor or by placing the cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin, crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs.

2. Mix Cream Cheese:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crushed Oreo cookies, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

3. Form Balls:

Scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray.

4. Chill:

Place the tray in the refrigerator and let the Oreo balls chill for at least 30 minutes. This helps them firm up.

5. Melt Chocolate:

In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips until smooth.

6. Coat the Balls:

Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is completely coated. Use a fork to lift the coated ball, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.

7. Optional Toppings:

While the chocolate is still wet, you can roll the coated balls in crushed nuts, sprinkles, or additional crushed Oreo crumbs for extra flavor and decoration.

8. Set:

Place the coated Oreo balls back on the parchment-lined tray and let them set. You can speed up the setting process by placing them in the refrigerator.

9. Serve:
