3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Oreo Cookie Balls

These 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Oreo Cookie Balls are the ultimate no-bake treat — rich, chocolatey, and loaded with peanut butter flavor. I crush Oreos, mix them with creamy peanut butter, and dip the balls in melted chocolate for an indulgent bite-sized dessert. They’re perfect for holidays, parties, or anytime I want a quick and decadent snack.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how incredibly easy and satisfying these cookie balls are to make. With just three ingredients and no oven required, they’re my go-to for fast desserts. The combination of crunchy Oreo cookies and smooth peanut butter creates a crave-worthy filling, and once they’re coated in chocolate, each bite becomes a little moment of bliss. Plus, they store well, so I can make them ahead for any occasion.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• Oreo cookies (I use regular, not double-stuffed)

• Creamy peanut butter

• Chocolate chips or melting chocolate (for coating)

Directions

1. I place the Oreos in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. If I don’t have a processor, I crush them in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin.

2. I transfer the crumbs to a bowl and stir in the peanut butter until a thick dough forms.

3. I scoop and roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in size, and place them on a lined baking sheet.

4. I freeze the balls for about 15–20 minutes so they firm up before dipping.

5. I melt the chocolate in the microwave in short bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.

6. I dip each peanut butter Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, let the excess drip off, then place it back on the baking sheet to set.

7. Once the coating is firm, I store the balls in the fridge until ready to serve.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 20–24 cookie balls and takes around 30 minutes total, including chill time. It’s quick, simple, and doesn’t require any baking at all.

Variations

I sometimes mix in crushed pretzels or mini chocolate chips for extra texture. If I want a salty-sweet combo, I sprinkle sea salt on top of the chocolate coating before it sets. For a festive touch, I drizzle them with white chocolate or add colored sprinkles. And if I want to switch it up, I use flavored Oreos like peanut butter or chocolate creme.

Storage/Reheating

I store these in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. They also freeze well — I freeze them in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. When I’m ready to eat, I let them thaw in the fridge or at room temperature for 10–15 minutes.

FAQs

Can I use chunky peanut butter?

Yes, I’ve used chunky peanut butter when I want some added crunch. Just make sure the mixture holds together well.

What kind of chocolate works best for coating?

I like using semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips, but candy melts work too. I avoid white chocolate unless I want a sweeter, less intense flavor.

Do I need to refrigerate them after making?

Yes, I keep them in the fridge to help them stay firm and keep the chocolate coating set, especially in warmer weather.

Can I make these without a food processor?

Definitely. I crush the Oreos in a zip-top bag using a rolling pin or heavy glass. It takes a bit more time, but it works just as well.

Are these safe for peanut allergies?

Not as written, but I’ve made them using almond butter or sunflower seed butter as an alternative. Just be sure to check for cross-contamination warnings on the ingredient labels.

Conclusion

3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Oreo Cookie Balls are a fast, no-fuss treat that always hits the sweet spot. With their rich, creamy center and smooth chocolate coating, they’re ideal for sharing — or keeping all to myself. I love how simple they are to make and how easily they disappear every time I serve them.
