• Store the balls in an airtight container to keep them fresh.

FAQs

Can I use regular chocolate instead of melting wafers?

Yes, regular chocolate bars can be used if you melt them carefully over a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Do I have to use a food processor?

While a food processor makes it easier to get fine crumbs, you can place the Oreos in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin, then mix with softened cream cheese by hand.

• Chilling the balls before dipping helps the chocolate adhere better and sets cleaner coats.
• Use a piping bag or a small plastic bag with a corner cut off for drizzling chocolate neatly.
• Store the Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh for up to a week.
• You can substitute the Ghirardelli melting wafers with any melting chocolate chips or candy melts of your choice.
