  • You can substitute the dark chocolate with milk or white chocolate for a sweeter variation.

Storage

Store the Oreo Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. They can also be frozen for longer storage. Reheat by allowing them to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
