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 or a small food processor. Alternatively, place the cookies in a sealed plastic bag and smash them with a meat mallet for a finer consistency.
- Blend the crushed cookies with the softened cream cheese until thoroughly mixed.
- Crush the freeze-dried strawberries, either blending into fine crumbs or chopping for larger pieces. Combine with the cookie mixture.
- Measure out about 1.5 tablespoons of the cookie mixture and roll into balls. Place them on a lined cookie sheet.
- Freeze the balls for 20-30 minutes to firm them up before dipping.
- Melt the candy coating in the microwave for approximately 1 minute and 20 seconds. Stir until smooth, reheating in 15-second intervals if needed.
- Dip each ball in the melted chocolate and place them back on the lined pan.
- To create a drizzle, add food coloring to the leftover melted chocolate. Put it in a plastic ziplock, snip a corner, and drizzle over the balls. Smash the reserved Oreo cookie and sprinkle crumbs on top.
- Trim any excess chocolate pooled around the base of the Oreo balls once the coating has set.
Notes
For a more vibrant color, adjust the amount of food coloring used in the drizzle to your preference.
Ensure the cookie mixture is well combined for uniform flavor in each ball.
Experiment with different chocolate coatings for varied flavors.
