Description
These Apple OREO Balls are a fun and festive no-bake treat! Made with Golden OREOs, apple butter, and a touch of cinnamon, they’re coated in creamy white chocolate and decorated to look like adorable apples perfect for fall parties or gifts.
Ingredients
1 package (36 cookies) Golden OREOs
4 oz (½ block) cream cheese, softened
1 tbsp apple butter (or 1 tbsp finely grated apple + pinch of cinnamon)
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 bag (12 oz) white chocolate or vanilla candy melts
Red or green candy melts (optional, for apple color)
Pretzel sticks (for stems)
Green M&M’s or green fondant (for leaves)
Instructions
1. Add Golden OREOs to a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of crumbs for garnish (optional).
2. In a bowl, mix OREO crumbs, softened cream cheese, apple butter, and cinnamon until smooth and evenly combined.
3. Scoop and roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 15–20 minutes to firm up.
4. Melt white chocolate or candy melts according to package instructions. Tint red or green if desired using candy melts or food coloring.
5. Dip each chilled OREO ball into the melted coating, letting excess drip off. Insert a small pretzel stick as a ‘stem’ and add a green M&M or fondant leaf beside it.
6. Let coated balls set at room temperature or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes. Drizzle with extra chocolate or sprinkle reserved crumbs if desired.
Notes
Tips:
– For a stronger apple flavor, use apple butter instead of grated apple.
– Keep them chilled until serving for the best texture.
– Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
