These Reese’s Oreo Balls are a lightened-up version of the classic treat. Packed with flavor yet portion-controlled, they’re perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while staying on track with your points.

Ingredients

• 20 reduced-fat Oreos (or use sugar-free Oreos for fewer points)
• 4 oz light cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter (e.g., PB2) mixed with 1 tablespoon water
• 1/4 cup mini Reese’s Pieces
• 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (e.g., Lily’s or another Weight Watchers-friendly brand)
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

Prepare the Oreo Mixture

1. Place the Oreos in a food processor and blend until finely crushed. Alternatively, place them in a resealable bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the softened cream cheese and powdered peanut butter mixture. Stir until the mixture is fully combined and forms a dough-like consistency.

Add Reese’s Pieces

1. Gently fold the mini Reese’s Pieces into the Oreo mixture, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.

Roll the Oreo Balls

1. Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
2. Repeat until all the mixture is used. You should have around 20 Oreo balls.
3. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to firm up the balls.

Melt the Chocolate

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar-free chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

Coat the Oreo Balls

1. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing it back on the parchment-lined sheet.
2. Optionally, sprinkle the tops with a few extra mini Reese’s Pieces or a drizzle of powdered peanut butter mixture for decoration.

Chill and Serve

1. Refrigerate the coated Oreo balls for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
2. Serve and enjoy!
