It is the perfect combination of sweet and salty! Crunchy on the outside, creamy in the inside...what are you waiting for?! You must try these!
Servings: 33 Oreo balls
Ingredients
- 1 bag Oreos 36 cookies
- 8 oz. Cream Cheese room temperature
- 2 cups Pretzels (2 oz.)
- 12 oz. Candy Coating (I used Ghirardelli White & Dark Chocolate Melting Wafers)
- 1 batch Homemade Salted Caramel (stored in a Condiment Squeeze Bottles)
Toppings:
- Homemade Salted Caramel
- Crushed Pretzels
Instructions
- In a food processor, finely crush the Oreo cookies until it's a sandy texture, then add it to a stand mixer (or large bowl) and set aside.
- Use the food processor to crush 2 cups of pretzels, by pulsing until it's chopped into little pieces.
- To the large bowl of crushed oreos, add the cream cheese and mix until a dough forms. (I used the paddle attachment on my Stand-Mixer.)
- Add the crushed pretzels to the oreo dough, and mix until well blended.
- Use a measuring spoon or small cookie scoop to scoop out 1 heaping tablespoon of dough at a time, placing each piece on a large sheet of parchment paper.
- Roll each piece of dough in your hands to form a ball, then flatten it out into a disk shape. Lay it back on the tray, and repeat with the remaining dough.
- Squeeze out about ½ teaspoon of caramel onto the center of each oreo disk.
- Take an oreo disk and fold all sides over the caramel, and roll into a ball. Place each rolled ball onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Freeze the tray of oreo balls for about 1 hour, or until very firm.
- Melt the Candy Coating of your choice (according to package instrucions), then roll one ball at a time to completely coat. Place back on a parchment paper lined tray.
- You can drizzle the tops with Salted Caramel and top with crushed pretzels! (The salted caramel is easier to drizzle if you warm the bottle in the microwave for about 15 seconds.)
- Keep refrigerated until ready to eat. Enjoy!
