Every year I like to share at least one super festive new year’s eve recipe!

NYE is a big deal and it deserves delicious recipes just like Christmas!

I really wish there was a few weeks between Christmas and New Year so there would be more build up and excitement for NYE like there is for Christmas! Plus, then I could share allll the gold and glittery recipes.

Edible glitter, of course!

Oreo balls are always popular – for birthdays, holidays, etc, or for any plain day of the week! Our most popular christmas recipe is an oreo ball recipe, so I figured I would give the people what they want – another oreo ball recipe!

The base of all oreo ball recipes is the same – oreos and cream cheese. But the fun comes in the decorating!

New Year’s Eve is all about gold, glitter, sparkles, and champagne. And chocolate, because chocolate is an every day thing.

I dipped these oreo balls in vanilla and chocolate almond bark. I am 100% a chocolate person – not white chocolate, sorry friends – but I wanted to offer a variety for those white chocolate liking folks.

Right after you dip the balls in the almond bark, use a tweezers to add pieces of edible gold leaf to each. I didn’t want the gold leaf to lay flat on the oreo ball, so I stacked some pieces on top of one another and adjusted certain pieces so they looked more “architectural”.

You can find edible gold leaf on amazon or certain kitchen stores will carry it. Make sure the package says it’s edible!

Once the almond bark is set, I used a clean paintbrush to add pearl dust to each oreo ball. Because there is nothing better than more sparkle :)

Tools for making oreo balls

• Silicone baking mat
• Melting pot

I love using silicone mats for oreo balls because they are easy to remove. Place your oreo balls on a silicone mat to chill in the fridge before dipping. Then return the balls to the mat after you dipped them. Once the chocolate sets, they are easy to remove!

I like using the wilton melting pot because it keeps the melted chocolate at an even temperature. Plus, it’s portable so I don’t have to stand over my stove to dip the balls.
