How to prepare No Bake Oreo Balls

Making No Bake Oreo Balls is a straightforward process that requires minimal effort. Follow the instructions below to enjoy these delicious treats.

Ingredients:

• 1 package Oreo cookies (about 36 cookies) 🍪
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened 🧀
• 1 bag chocolate chips (milk or dark) 🍫
• Sprinkles, for decoration (optional) 🌈

Instructions:

1. Start by placing the Oreo cookies in a food processor. Crush them until they are fine crumbs. Alternatively, you can place them in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

3. Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in size).
4. Place the rolled balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave or using a double boiler, stirring until smooth.

8. Refrigerate the balls for about 30 minutes until they are set.
