Ingredients
Scale
Bon Bon Base
- 12.2 ounces Oreos (Winter edition with red filling recommended)
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
Chocolate Coating and Decoration
- 4 ounces dark chocolate melting wafers (Ghirardelli recommended)
- Small handful of chocolate chips
- Tiny pinch of fleur de sel per ball
- Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Line a cookie sheet with wax paper, parchment paper, or a silicone mat and set aside.
- Crush the Oreos: Process the Oreos in a food processor until fine crumbs form, resembling sand. Alternatively, place Oreos in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- Mix crumbs with cream cheese: Transfer the crumbs to a stand mixer bowl, add the softened cream cheese, and mix thoroughly until fully combined into a dough-like mixture.
- Form the balls: Use a cookie scoop to portion the mixture and roll into balls by hand if needed. Place the balls on the prepared sheet; you should get about 25 balls.
- Freeze to firm: Freeze the balls on the sheet for at least 30 minutes until firm enough to handle.
- Smooth and salt: Remove from freezer, gently roll the balls between your hands to smooth the surface, then sprinkle a tiny pinch of fleur de sel on each ball. Return to freezer while preparing chocolate.
- Melt the chocolate coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the dark chocolate wafers for 30 seconds, stir, then continue heating in 15-second intervals, stirring until completely melted.
- Dip the balls: Remove the balls from the freezer, insert a toothpick into each as a handle, and swirl in the melted chocolate, using a spatula to coat evenly. Work quickly to prevent balls from warming and slipping off the toothpick. Return to freezer if necessary.
- Harden the coating: Place the coated bon bons in the refrigerator to set the chocolate shell faster.
- Prepare drizzle chocolate: Microwave the chocolate chips in a small bowl for 30 seconds, stir, then another 15 seconds if needed. Allow to cool slightly.
- Decorate the bon bons: Spoon the melted chocolate into a plastic bag, snip a small corner, and drizzle over the bon bons. Add sprinkles immediately before the drizzle sets, if desired.
- Storage: Keep the bon bons refrigerated until ready to serve to maintain firmness and freshness.
Notes
- Using Winter edition Oreos with red filling adds holiday color, but classic Oreos work just as well.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened for easier mixing and smoother texture.
- Work quickly when dipping to keep the balls cold and ensure the chocolate coating adheres properly.
- For clean drizzle lines, chill the chocolate drizzle briefly before using.
- Store bon bons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
