Ingredients:

  • 2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs (about 20 cookies)
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup Reese’s peanut butter cups, chopped
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Festive sprinkles or edible glitter for decoration

Instructions:

Crush the Oreo Cookies:

Start by placing the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulsing until you have fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, you can also place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

Mix in Cream Cheese:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs with the softened cream cheese. Use a spatula or your hands to mix until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and easy to mold.

Add Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups:

Gently fold in the chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups into the Oreo and cream cheese mixture. This adds a delightful peanut butter surprise to each chocolate bauble.

Shape into Balls:

Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Melt Chocolate:

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth and velvety.

Dip and Coat:

Using a fork or toothpick, dip each Oreo and Reese’s ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring an even coating. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated balls back onto the parchment paper.

Add Festive Touch:

While the chocolate coating is still wet, sprinkle festive decorations or edible glitter over the top of each bauble. This step not only adds a touch of holiday magic but also makes each chocolate treat uniquely beautiful.

Chill and Serve:

Place the tray back in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to set completely. Once set, transfer the baubles to a festive plate or serving dish.

Conclusion:

With the combination of Oreo cookies, Reese’s peanut butter cups, and a coating of rich chocolate, these Decadent Delights are sure to be a hit at any holiday gathering. They make for a perfect homemade gift or a delightful addition to your dessert table. Enjoy the magical fusion of flavors and textures in every bite as you savor the joy of the season with these Oreo and Reese’s Chocolate Baubles. Happy baking and happy holidays!
