Question 1

Can I use double-stuffed Oreos?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but the filling makes the dough softer. Start with less cream cheese (about 6 ounces), then add more if needed until the mixture holds together and rolls cleanly.

Question 2

Do I need a food processor?

Accepted Answer

No. A zip-top bag and a rolling pin work fine. Just crush the cookies thoroughly so the crumbs are very fine and evenly textured.

Question 3

What’s the best chocolate for dipping?

Accepted Answer

If using chocolate chips, add 1–2 teaspoons of oil per cup to help thin and create a glossy finish.

Question 4

Do they need to be refrigerated?

Accepted Answer

es. Because of the cream cheese, Oreo balls should be stored in the fridge. They can sit out for a short time during parties, but return leftovers to the refrigerator.

Question 5

How many balls does one batch make?

Accepted Answer

Using about 1 tablespoon per ball, you’ll get roughly 30–36 Oreo balls from one standard package of cookies and 8 ounces of cream cheese.

Question 6

How can I keep the balls from cracking?

Accepted Answer

Avoid extreme temperature swings. Don’t dip balls straight from the freezer into very hot chocolate. Let them chill in the fridge, not frozen solid, before dipping.
