Ingredients

  • 20 reduced-fat Oreo cookies
  • 4 oz light cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp natural peanut butter (creamy, no added sugar)
  • ½ cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (melted, for coating)
  • Optional: crushed peanuts or a drizzle of peanut butter for topping

Instructions

1. Crush the Cookies
In a food processor or blender, pulse the Oreo cookies until they become fine crumbs.

2. Mix the Filling
In a medium bowl, combine the cookie crumbs, softened cream cheese, and peanut butter. Mix until fully incorporated and dough-like.

3. Shape the Balls
Roll the mixture into 24 small balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and place on a lined baking sheet.

4. Chill
Refrigerate or freeze the balls for at least 30–60 minutes to firm up before coating.

5. Coat in Chocolate
Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each. Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate using a fork or toothpick, then place back on the tray.

6. Optional Garnish
Sprinkle with crushed peanuts or drizzle with extra peanut butter before the coating sets.

7. Set & Serve
Refrigerate for another 15–30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm. Enjoy straight from the fridge.
