Ingredients:

For the Base:

• 24 Oreos
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened

For the Coating:

• 10 oz white candy melts (Ghirardelli recommended)
• 2 tbsp heavy cream (optional, for thinning candy melts if necessary)

Directions:

1. Prepare the Oreo Mixture:

• In a food processor, pulse 24 Oreos into a coarse powder. Add the softened cream cheese and blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

1. Form the Cake Balls:

• Remove the blades from the food processor and scrape any mixture back into the bowl. Using a medium cookie scoop, portion the mixture and roll into smooth balls with your hands. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes to firm up.

1. Melt the Candy Coating:

• Melt the white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-second intervals and stirring between each. If needed, thin the candy melts with a bit of hot cream for a smoother coating.

1. Coat the Cake Balls:

• Using a fork, dip each frozen Oreo ball into the melted candy coating, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Place the coated balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet to set.

1. Decorate (Optional):

• For a festive touch, drizzle the cake balls with melted semi-sweet chocolate or sprinkle with crushed Oreo crumbs while the coating is still wet.
