Storage Tips for Freshness

To keep your Reese's Oreo Balls fresh and delicious, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last for up to two weeks, although they are likely to be devoured long before then! If you want to prepare them in advance, these treats freeze well too. Just layer them in a single layer with parchment paper between each ball to prevent sticking, and they can last for up to three months in the freezer.

When you're ready to enjoy the frozen Oreo balls, simply transfer them to the refrigerator to thaw for a few hours before serving. This way, you can always have a delightful treat on hand, ready to satisfy your sweet tooth or impress your guests!

2 cups milk chocolate chips
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to make your Reese's Oreo Balls:

Crush the Oreos

In a food processor, crush the Oreo cookies until they are fine crumbs.

Mix with Cream Cheese

In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese and peanut butter. Mix until well combined.

Form the Balls

Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Chill the Balls

Refrigerate the balls for about 10 minutes to firm them up.

Melt the Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate chips with vegetable oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

Coat the Balls

Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Return to the baking sheet.

Chill Again

Place the coated balls back in the refrigerator for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.

Once the chocolate is set, your Reese's Oreo Balls are ready to be enjoyed!

Why Peanut Butter and Chocolate Are a Match Made in Heaven

The combination of peanut butter and chocolate has been a beloved pairing for generations. The rich, creamy texture of peanut butter complements the smooth, sweet taste of chocolate, creating a harmonious balance that tantalizes the taste buds. This recipe takes that classic duo to new heights by adding the crunch of Oreo cookies, making each bite an explosion of flavor and texture.

Peanut butter is not only delicious but also packed with protein, making these treats a slightly more guilt-free indulgence. While they are definitely a dessert, you can enjoy them knowing you're getting a bit of added nutrition with each bite!

Perfect Pairings with Your Oreo Balls

These Reese's Oreo Balls pair wonderfully with a variety of beverages. A glass of cold milk is a classic choice that enhances the chocolate flavor and complements the creamy peanut butter. For adults, consider serving them with a rich coffee or a dessert wine that can stand up to the sweet, rich flavors of the balls.

If you're feeling adventurous, try incorporating these Oreo balls into a dessert platter with other treats, such as brownies or cheesecake bites. The variety will not only make for an impressive presentation but will also cater to different taste preferences, ensuring everyone leaves satisfied.
