Pumpkin OREO Cookie Balls – These super simple pumpkin treats are delicious and easy to make… no egg and no bake!

For me there’s no such thing as too much chocolate! I like chocolate a lot so OREO cookies are really one of my very favorite things to eat. My husband and I always have a big discussion on how to eat them. I say that the right way is to twist apart; eat the cream, and then the cookie. Hubby says that it has to be dumped in a glass of milk and wait till the OREO soak up.

Anyways…

Let’s talk OREO cookie balls!

This is a lovely idea for your upcoming Thanksgiving gathering. They are super delicious with a cup of coffee after dinner, but would also make a great gift. Surprise your guest with their very own box to take home and they will love you forever hahaha.

Making them is the easiest thing you can image. The dough is very moldable. I decided to wear powder-free gloves while shaping the cookie balls to prevent my hands from warming up the dough.

I’m telling you if you make ’em you’ll watch them disappear in a blink of an eye!

Recipe Notes

To easily coat OREO cookie balls with the melted chocolate, add balls, in batches, to bowl of melted chocolate. Use 2 forks to roll cookie balls in chocolate until evenly coated. Remove cookie balls with forks, letting excess chocolate drip back into bowl.
I served them on a bed of more crushed OREO.
Adding cacao butter when melting chocolate helps to keep the mix smoother for longer.
Keep OREO cookie balls in a air-tight container in the refrigerator.
