Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 36 pieces Oreo cookies
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 16 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 ounces White chocolate or decorating icing
Instructions
Place all 36 Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until they are finely crushed. Alternatively, place them in a resealable plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Transfer the crushed Oreos to a medium mixing bowl. Add the softened cream cheese and mix thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and has a dough-like consistency.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small football-shaped balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in length. You should have about 36 footballs.
Place the shaped cookie balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate them for at least 20 minutes or until firm.
While the cookie balls are chilling, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled football-shaped cookie ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off before returning the coated balls to the parchment-lined sheet.
Allow the chocolate coating to set by refrigerating the cookie balls for another 10-15 minutes or until the chocolate hardens completely.
Once the coating is firm, melt the white chocolate or prepare the decorating icing. Transfer it to a piping bag or plastic bag with a small tip cut off. Pipe football laces on top of each cookie ball to complete the football look.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
