With Valentine's around the corner, I wanted to share this recipe for making the most delicious oreo bon bons that are sure to satisfy the chocolate lovers our there. They are quite easy to make and look pretty dashing! They're constantly a hit, but be careful, they've even resulted in marriage proposals.
Ingredients:
1 package oreos (don’t do double stuffed, it's too moist and the batter won't hold up)
1 package regular cream cheese, softened (8 oz - I get the box of Philadelphia)
1 package chocolate chips (I use 60% dark chocolate, you can also use semisweet)
Optional Toppings: shredded coconut, white chocolate (melted or shaved), nuts, sprinkles, etc
- Put the oreos in a food processor or blender and blend until pretty fine (if there are some coarse pieces left, that’s just fine)
- Pour the oreo mix into a medium size bowl
- Mix the cream cheese into the mix with a spoon until mixed well combined, I usually use my hands in the end
- Cover and chill for 15-30 minutes
- Line a cookie sheet with wax or parchment paper
- Roll the oreo & cream cheese mix into small balls and place on the lined cookie sheet
- Cover and chill for 30 minutes
- Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler (or glass bowl over pan with simmering water), stirring frequently
- Dip the oreo balls into the melted chocolate to coat and return to the cookie sheet
- Sprinkle on the toppings as desired
- Return to fridge to chill (I wouldn’t cover them while they’re still wet)
- ENJOY!

I made these last weeknd and they are wonderful. The first day they were good, but after alittle "maturing" they are even better. I did alter the coating a bit. I used the coating Grandma Busche uses for her coconut christmas cookies which incorporates alittle wax to make the coating firm up very fast and then hold. I'll put the the coatign recipe on the blog. Thanks Sarah for the recipe- Its great.
Love the picture, they look so festive! Thanks for the idea for the modification on the coating. The last time Kelly and I made them we talked about trying to temper the chocolate for a nice sheen, but we just didn't have the patience. We'll have to try Grandma's coating next time.
