There are two things that everyone needs the day after Thanksgiving (besides a nap and a pair of comfy pants)- an easy-to-make treat and chocolate.
And these Peanut Butter Oreo Cookie Balls are just the thing!
You only need 4 ingredients (5 if you’re like me and like everything salty and sweet), and they only take a few minutes of hands-on time.
Best of all, they taste like a peanut buttery Oreo truffle!
Plus, they’re a great, easy project to make with family and friends over the holidays.
My kids had a blast making (and eating) these, and they especially enjoyed crushing the Oreos.
In case you’d like to try the original Oreo Cookie Ball recipe, I’ve included it below, too.

I believe they are wondering whether or not you scrape the cream off of the oreo cookie before blending it. Or if you just toss the cookie whole into the food processor. The answer is yes, leave the cream on the cookie.

Thank you!
Harley says
Hey I’m a bit confused on wether you leave the cream on the Oreos or not??
Kate says
Hi! I’m not sure what you mean by leaving the cream on the Oreos.

Andrea says
A little confused – “4 (4 oz.) packages semisweet baking chocolate, melted” does this mean a pound of baking chocolate?
Thanks
Andrea
Kate says
Yes, it’s a pound of chocolate total. I thought it would be easier to write it that way because most of the baking chocolate comes in 4 oz. packages, but maybe I made it less clear by doing that. Thanks for the question!

After Thanksgiving, it tends to all go down hill for me in terms of healthy eating (I try to get back on track by New Years’ haha). Even though it’s well past Thanksgiving now, this is still an awesome recipe for any time I’m feeling too lazy to do any hardcore baking. Thanks for the idea!
Kate says
At least you make it to Thanksgiving! For me, I start having diet issues mid-October. Halloween treats get me every year. That’s what I keep telling myself, too- after New Years I’ll get back on track. =)
AILEEN says
Have you tried adding any cream cheese to the balls?
Kate says
I’ve made the cookie balls with cream cheese, but I haven’t tried a combination of cream cheese and peanut butter. If you try it, please let me know how it turns out! =)
