3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Oreo Cookie Balls

These 3-ingredient peanut butter Oreo cookie balls are one of the easiest no-bake treats I like to whip up when I’m craving something sweet and satisfying. They’re creamy, chocolatey, and just the right size for snacking or sharing.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it requires almost no effort but delivers a decadent result. With just three ingredients, I can make a batch of cookie balls that taste like they came from a candy shop. They’re perfect for parties, holidays, or even just keeping in the fridge for a quick dessert. Plus, I don’t have to turn on the oven.

Ingredients

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

• Oreo cookies

• Creamy peanut butter

• Chocolate (melting chocolate or chocolate chips)

Directions

1. I start by crushing the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by sealing them in a bag and rolling with a rolling pin.

2. I mix the crumbs with peanut butter until it forms a thick, moldable mixture.

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

4. I chill the balls in the fridge or freezer for at least 20 minutes so they firm up.

5. I melt the chocolate until smooth, then dip each ball into the chocolate, coating it completely.

6. I place the coated balls back on the baking sheet and let them set until the chocolate hardens.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 24 cookie balls, depending on size. It takes me around 15 minutes to prep and about 20 minutes to chill, so I can have them ready in about 35–40 minutes.

Variations

Sometimes I drizzle white chocolate over the finished balls for decoration. I’ve also swapped peanut butter for almond butter or Nutella for a different flavor. If I want extra crunch, I stir in chopped peanuts before rolling the mixture into balls.

Storage/Reheating

I store these cookie balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. For longer storage, I freeze them for up to 2 months and thaw in the fridge before serving.

FAQs

Can I make these without peanut butter?

Yes, I sometimes use cream cheese or Nutella instead for a different twist.

How do I keep the chocolate coating smooth?

I make sure the chocolate is fully melted and stir in a little coconut oil if I want a shinier, smoother finish.

Do I need to refrigerate them?

Yes, I keep them chilled so they stay firm and the chocolate doesn’t soften.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Definitely—I often make them a day or two in advance and store them in the fridge until I’m ready to serve.

Can I use double-stuffed Oreos?

Yes, I use either regular or double-stuffed Oreos; both work fine in this recipe.

Conclusion

These 3-ingredient peanut butter Oreo cookie balls are one of my favorite quick treats because they’re easy, no-bake, and full of flavor. I like how the peanut butter and Oreos come together in a creamy center with that perfect chocolate coating. They’re always a crowd-pleaser and a recipe I make again and again.
