👩🍳 How to Make Peanut Butter Oreo Cookie Balls
- Crush the Oreos
Add the whole cookies (cream and all!) into a food processor and blitz until fine crumbs form. - Mix with peanut butter
In a mixing bowl, combine Oreo crumbs with peanut butter until a thick, moldable dough forms. - Roll into balls
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the rest and place them on a parchment-lined tray. - Chill
Pop the tray into the freezer for 15-20 minutes to firm up the balls. - Melt the chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second bursts, stirring in between until smooth. - Dip & set
Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate and place back on the parchment paper. Let them set at room temp or in the fridge.
🍽️ What to Serve with These
- A glass of cold milk (classic!)

❓Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use crunchy peanut butter?
You can! Just know the texture will be a bit more rustic (but still tasty).
Do I need to remove the Oreo filling?
Nope, blend the entire cookie—filling and all. It helps the mixture stick together!
Can I use natural peanut butter?
Not recommended—it tends to separate and make the dough oily and less stable.
