How to make Oreo Balls Are you looking for a delicious, yummy snack? Oreo Balls are the perfect fit which can be found on Pinterest, Youtube, and Google. My own experience with making Oreo Balls for the first time was pretty easy because I was told how to make them by my older sister Jazmin who got the recipe from my aunt Jodi. At first I tried to crush the Oreo cookies by hand which didn't work to well for me, so I used a blender to crush them. It made it a lot easier and less messy to make. Each christmas my aunt Jodi would make her delicious Oreo Balls that were to die for. I had always wonder how she made them and wanted to make them on my own sometime, but she seemed to always end up forgetting to give me the recipe. Oreo Balls turned into a family tradition after years of having them on Christmas and other holidays. Oreo Balls are, so rich and creamy, also the best reason to hang out by the dessert table. There are a lot of reasons why one may want to learn how to make Oreo Balls. Regardless, of what each person's reason may be, it is important that one knows how to properly make Oreo Balls. That process requires four main steps; have all the 3 main ingredients, mix together the ingredients, shape into balls, dip balls into white chocolate and refrigerate. The cost of the ingredients all together round up to being around 10 dollars. If you want to go with off brands you can to save a little more money. Making
Oreo Balls is fast and easy because the preparation time is only 30 minutes to an hour long, and the balls are filled with delicious sweetness. It’s important that you follow these steps correctly,

if not it can affect the final product. By following the correct four steps, you will have a delicious treat that will satisfy you and whoever else may try them.
First, you wanna make sure you have all the ingredients to make Oreo Balls. Ingredients for Oreo Balls require; 1 (8 ounce) package of Philadelphia cream cheese, softened, 36 Oreo cookies, finely crushed, 16 ounce of semisweet white chocolate. It is okay to use off brands to save money. My first time making Oreo Balls I bought the off brand, Best Choice cream cheese, it honestly probably doesn't matter which kind of cream cheese you get because it will taste the same. I also tried to look for almond bark at the store, but they had ran out of it, so a second choice to substitute it can be white chocolate. After you have all of the ingredients, you will first need to open the package of Oreos and count out 36 cookies. Then you'll crush them with a blender, I prefer to use a blender because if you try to by hand, you may not be able to crush the cookies all the way. The better you crush the Oreo cookies, the better they will taste. This process should make about 3 cups. Once you have your 3 cups of crushed Oreos you want to find a big enough bowl to put the crumbs into. Also you want to get a 8 x 11 wax papered pan. Mix in the cream cheese with the 3 cups of finely crushed Oreo cookies by hand or by the blender until blended well together.
Secondly, once you have mixed the cream cheese and crushed Oreos, make sure they are blended well. You'll know if they are blended well because it should look like a shiny paste.
Next, reach into the bowl and grab about a spoon size of the paste, shaping into balls with the palm of your hands, shape the balls as if you're making a snowball. Then place the ball onto the 8 x 11 waxpapered pan. Keep repeating this step until all of the paste is gone. Depending on how many balls you want or how many people you will be serving the size of the balls may vary.

Also you do not want to make the balls really big because then they won't stay together that well.
This batch should make anywhere from forty to sixty balls. Then you’ll place the waxed papered pan with the balls
