What do you need for Oreo balls?

To make Patriotic Oreo Balls , you’ll need a family-size package of Oreo cookies, an 8 oz block of cream cheese, candy melts (red and blue), white melting wafers, and festive sprinkles. Optional tools include a food processor and cookie scoop for smoother prep.

What were Oreos called before they were Oreos?

They were initially named "Oreo Biscuits" in 1912, later evolving into "Oreo Sandwich" and "Oreo Creme Sandwich" before becoming simply "Oreos." That makes Patriotic Oreo Balls a modern twist on a century-old classic!

Can you eat Oreo balls left out overnight?

It’s not recommended. Because of the cream cheese, Patriotic Oreo Balls should be refrigerated. Leaving them out for more than two hours can lead to spoilage, especially in warm conditions.

Can I use Double Stuf Oreos for Oreo balls?

Yes, but expect a slightly softer texture. If using Double Stuf, consider reducing the cream cheese slightly or chilling the balls longer to ensure they hold shape.
