Quick to make and requiring minimal ingredients, these bite-sized delights offer a delicious blend of flavors and textures everyone will love.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Oreos (about 20 cookies): Crumbled into fine crumbs providing the classic chocolate cookie flavor and texture.
  • Creamy peanut butter (1 cup): Adds richness and binds the mixture with its smooth texture.
  • Powdered sugar (1/2 cup): Sweetens the mixture evenly without adding graininess.
  • Chocolate chips or melting chocolate (1 cup): For coating and delivering a glossy, chocolatey finish.
  • Optional butter (2 tablespoons): Adds extra creaminess to the chocolate coating if desired.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oreo Crumbs: Start by placing your Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until you have fine crumbs. If you don’t have a processor, place the cookies in a sealed bag and crush them with a rolling pin until finely ground.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs, creamy peanut butter, and powdered sugar. Stir together thoroughly until you get a sticky, dough-like consistency that holds together when squeezed.
  3. Shape into Balls: Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray. This step is fun and easy — just ensure the balls are compact for better coating.
  4. Chill to Firm Up: Pop the tray of balls into the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. The chilling helps them firm up, making the next step much easier.
  5. Melt the Chocolate: While the balls chill, melt your chocolate chips or melting chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until silky smooth. If using butter, add it now for extra shine and smoothness.
  6. Coat the Balls in Chocolate: Remove the chilled balls and dip them one by one into the melted chocolate, using a fork to lift and coat them completely. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing them back on the parchment paper.
  7. Let Them Set and Enjoy: Return the coated balls to the refrigerator for about 15 minutes or until the chocolate sets. Once firm, your No-Bake Reese’s Oreo Balls are ready to enjoy or package up for sharing!

Notes

  • Firm Dough: If the mixture feels too sticky to form balls, add a bit more powdered sugar for better consistency.
  • Chocolate Coating Tip: Use a fork or dipping tool and tap gently on the bowl edge to remove excess chocolate for an even coating.
  • Storage Tip: Keep them chilled until serving to maintain shape and freshness.
  • Perfect Size: Using a cookie scoop ensures uniform balls that set evenly.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Let peanut butter soften slightly for easier mixing.
