Ingredients

  • 3 cups Oreo crumbs Use Original and not double stuffed Oreos, Pulse them in a food processor until you have fine crumbs
  • 1.5 cups Walnuts Finely chopped or ground
  • 1-2 tablespoon Heavy cream
  • ¼-1/3 cup Dark rum
  • 3 cups Melted white chocolate Can be replaced with semisweet chocolate too
  • ½ cup Melted seminisweet chocolate For drizzling on top, Optional

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, add Oreo crumbs, finely chopped walnuts, heavy cream.
  • Mix until you have a crumbly mixture.
  • Mix in rum. Start with ¼ cup and only add more, if necessary. It takes a few minutes for the dry crumbs to absorb the liquid. Please don't rush on adding extra liquid without giving the rum a chance to fully get absorbed. You should finally end up with a cookie dough- like consistency that's not too sticky and can easily be rolled into balls.
  • Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll into small balls.
  • Note: if mixture is too dry and crumbly, mix in some more liquid (e.g. heavy cream or rum). If mixture is too soft and "wet", mix in some more Oreo cookie crumbs.
  • Place them on a cookie tray, lined with wax paper or parchment paper.
  • Chill in freezer for about 20-30 minutes so they become firm and easy to dip in melted chocolate.
  • Remove from freezer and dip each ball in a bowl of melted white chocolate.
  • Place them on a cookie tray, lined with wax paper or parchment paper.
  • When this white chocolate layer sets, fill a piping bag with melted semisweet chocolate and drizzle on top of all the balls.
  • Refrigerate for 1-2 days before serving because it allows the rum flavors to truly develop and deepen. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Read all my tips above.
  • Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
