Ingredients
Scale
- 36 golden oreo cookies finely crushed (15.25 oz pkg.)
- 8 oz. brick cream cheese softened
- 1 lb. almond bark candi-quik, melted
- 1–2 oz freeze dried strawberries finely crushed
Instructions
- Crush the Golden Oreo cookies using a blender, food processor, or by placing them in a sealed bag and smashing with a meat mallet. Stir the mixture intermittently for even consistency.
- Combine the crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese until well incorporated.
- Finely crush the freeze-dried strawberries in a blender or chop into small pieces. Mix them into the cookie mixture thoroughly.
- Using a cookie scoop, portion about 1.5 tablespoons of the mixture and roll each into a ball. Place the balls on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
- Freeze the balls for 20-30 minutes before dipping in chocolate.
- Melt the candy coating in the microwave for about 1 minute 20 seconds, stirring until smooth. Return to the microwave in short intervals if necessary.
- Dip each ball into the melted chocolate and return them to the lined pan.
- For decoration, mix pink or red food coloring into the leftover chocolate, then drizzle over each ball using a snipped plastic bag. Crush the reserved Oreo filling and sprinkle it over the top of the drizzled chocolate.
- Once set, trim any excess chocolate pooled around the bottoms of the Oreo balls for a neat presentation.
Notes
For best results, crush Oreos in batches for a finer consistency.
Experiment with different chocolate coatings like milk or semi-sweet for varied flavors.
Ensure the almond bark is fully melted before dipping to achieve a smooth coating.
