Ingredients:

• 1 package (15.25 oz) Golden Oreos
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, finely crushed
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 12 oz white chocolate chips or candy melts
• Extra freeze-dried strawberries for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Oreo Crumbs:
   Use a food processor to pulse the Golden Oreos into fine crumbs. Set aside a small amount if you’d like to use it for garnish later.
2. Make the Filling:
   In a large bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs, softened cream cheese, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, and vanilla extract. Mix until the texture is smooth and evenly blended.
3. Shape and Chill:
   Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
4. Melt the Chocolate:
   In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips or candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and fully melted.
5. Coat the Oreo Balls:
   Dip each chilled ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Place the coated balls back onto the parchment-lined tray.
6. Garnish (Optional):
   While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle additional crushed freeze-dried strawberries on top for an extra burst of color and flavor.
7. Set and Serve:
   Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving.
