Made with just a few ingredients like crushed Oreo cookies, sweetened condensed milk, and dark chocolate, this no-bake treat is delicious and fun to make.

Ingredients:
2 cups Oreo cookies, crushed
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup dark chocolate, melted
Optional: Sprinkles or crushed Oreo cookies for decoration
Instructions:
Crush the Oreos: Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Alternatively, put them in a ziplock bag and use a rolling pin to crush them.
Mix the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the sweetened condensed milk. Mix until the ingredients form a dough-like consistency.
Form the Balls: Scoop small portions of the dough and roll them into balls using your hands. Place the Oreo balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill: Refrigerate the balls for 15–20 minutes to firm them up.
Dip in Chocolate: Once chilled, dip each Oreo ball into melted dark chocolate, ensuring full coverage. Place them back on the parchment paper.
Decorate: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle crushed Oreos or sprinkles on top.
Set: Let the chocolate set at room temperature or refrigerate for another 10 minutes until fully hardened.
Serving Tips:
Chilled or Room Temperature: Oreo balls are best served chilled or at room temperature. Chilling them ensures the chocolate coating stays firm and provides a satisfying texture contrast with the creamy Oreo center.
Decorative Presentation: For special occasions or parties, you can arrange the Oreo balls on a decorative platter or tiered tray. You can also add a drizzle of white chocolate, colored sprinkles, or crushed Oreos on top to enhance the look.
Pairing: Serve them alongside a cup of coffee, milk, or hot cocoa for a delightful treat. These bite-sized truffles also pair well with other no-bake desserts at gatherings or potlucks.
Storage Tips:
Refrigerator Storage: Store the Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. This helps maintain the firmness of the chocolate coating and the texture of the filling.
Freezer Storage: If you need to store them for a longer period, Oreo balls freeze well. Place them in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. To avoid sticking, separate the layers with parchment paper.
Thawing: When ready to serve, allow frozen Oreo balls to thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours before enjoying.
Avoid Room Temperature for Long Periods: Since the chocolate can melt, it’s best to avoid leaving Oreo balls at room temperature for extended periods, especially in warmer conditions.
