Instructions

To Make The Cake Balls

  • Line two baking trays with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Using a food processor or high-speed blender, pulse the Golden Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and set aside.
    45 Golden Oreo cookies
  • In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer on medium-high speed to beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
    8 ounces cream cheese
  • Add the Golden Oreo crumbs to the bowl and mix together until well combined.
  • Add ¼ cup of nonpareil sprinkles to the Oreo batter. Use a rubber spatula to fold it all together until the sprinkles are evenly distributed.
    ¼ cup Christmas nonpareil sprinkles
  • Use a small cookie scoop to scoop even-sized balls of the cream cheese and crushed Oreo mixture. Roll the ball in the palms of your hands to make the ornaments round and smooth.
  • Place each one on the prepared baking sheet, and repeat until you've used all the batter. Place the tray of Oreo truffles in the refrigerator to chill for 2 hours.

Decorating The Oreo Balls

  • Unwrap the white chocolate Reese’s Cup minis and place them in a Ziplock bag. Take about ½ tablespoon of the edible gold and sprinkle it on top. Seal the bag and then lightly shake it around until all of the Reese’s are coated.

  • Place a double boiler over low heat and melt the dark green chocolate wafers until smooth. Stir often to ensure it heats evenly.
    10 ounces dark green candy melts
  • Dip the Oreo ball into the chocolate and remove it using a fork. Tap the fork against the pot or bowl to help remove any excess chocolate.
  • Place the coated Oreo ball back onto the prepared baking tray. Immediately top with a golden Reese’s ornament top and desired Christmas sprinkles. Move quickly because the coating sets quickly. Repeat with 7 more Oreo balls.
    Extra Christmas sprinkles for topping
  • Place the tray in the refrigerator. Clean the double boiler and heat the next color.
  • Repeat the same steps using the red chocolate and dip the balls.
    10 ounces red candy melts
  • Add the golden Reese’s ornament top, and then add the sprinkles.

  • Lastly, you're going to do the same thing using the white chocolate melting wafers.
  • Add the golden Reese’s ornament top to the white chocolate covered balls, then add the sprinkles.

  • Place in the refrigerator or until the chocolate hardens. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • If you don't have a food processor or blender, add the Oreos to a large Ziplock bag. Using a rolling pin, roll back and forth over the bag until you have finely crushed Oreos.
  • Make sure to chill the cookie balls for the full 2 hours because this helps the ornaments keep their shape when dipping them in the melted candy coating.
  • If you can't find the regular gold shimmer, you can also use an edible shimmer spray. Place the unwrapped Reese’s on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and spray each one with the edible shimmer spray. The method is a bit more time-consuming though, and the spray has a tendency to clog up.
