Oreo balls are always a favorite treat at parties, especially during the holidays. I make these every year because they are pretty to add to any cookie platter and people go crazy for them! And you really can’t go wrong with a 3-ingredient no-bake treat, especially during the busy holiday season! They are almost too easy to make…and for sure too easy to eat:)
Oreo balls are fun, easy to make, and will remind you of a chocolate truffle, but instead of a chocolate filling, you get a rich, decadent Oreo cream cheese filling. Oreo truffles are insanely delicious! Here are a few tips for making the perfect Oreo truffles.
Make sure you store the Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If you leave them on the counter, the chocolate will get soft. You want to make sure they are chilled until ready to serve.
The Oreo balls will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. You can also freeze the Oreo balls for up to 2 months. If you are going to stack the Oreo balls, make sure you put parchment paper or wax paper in between the balls.

Nutrition Facts: servingSize 33 g, calories 136 kcal, Carbohydrate 15 g, Protein 1 g, Fat 8 g, Saturated Fat 4 g, Cholesterol 8 mg, Sodium 90 mg, Sugar 10 g
Ingredients:
- 38 Oreo cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese (at room temperature )
- 1 cup chocolate melting wafers or candy coating
- 1 cup white chocolate melting wafers or candy coating
- For decorating: melted chocolate, Oreo crumbs, sprinkles, crushed peppermint, or chopped nuts, if desired
Instruction:
- Place Oreo cookies in a food processor. Pulse until they are fine cookie crumbs.
- Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the cream cheese until it is smooth, about 1 minute. Add the Oreo cookie crumbs and mix until well combined.
- Roll the Oreo mixture into small balls and place on a baking sheet or tray that has been lined with parchment paper or wax paper. Freeze the Oreo balls for 15 minutes.
- Place the chocolate wafers (or candy coating) in a small microwave safe bowl. Place the white chocolate wafers (or candy coating) in a separate small microwave safe bowl. Melt according to instructions on packaging.
- Remove the balls from the freezer and dip the balls into the melted chocolate. Make sure you cover the balls completely in chocolate. I like to use a fork to shake the excess chocolate off of the Oreo balls. Dip half of the balls in the chocolate and half in the white chocolate. Place the dipped balls back on the baking tray with parchment paper or wax paper. Decorate with a drizzle of chocolate, additional crushed Oreos, sprinkles, crushed peppermint or crushed nuts, if desired.
- Place the baking sheet with the Oreo balls in the refrigerator and chill for at least an hour. Keep stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The Oreo balls will keep in the fridge for up to 3 weeks. You can also freeze the balls for up to 2 months.

How to Make Oreo Balls (Truffles)
For these easy no-bake treats, combine crushed Oreos with cream cheese and form into balls before dipping in melted chocolate. Decorate with sprinkles or a drizzle of white chocolate for extra flair. Everyone loves these and they are so easy to make!
Prep: 45min
Total: 1h45min
Yield: 28
Ingredients:
- 36 (14.3oz/405g) regular Oreo cookies (not Double-Stuf)
- 8 ounces (224g) full-fat block cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 12 ounces (339g) semi-sweet or white chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil or coconut oil
- optional for garnish: sprinkles, Oreo crumbs, additional melted chocolate
Instruction:
- Place the Oreos (the entire cookies, filling and cookie) in a food processor or blender. Pulse into a fine crumb.
- Using a hand-held or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or just continue using the food processor if it’s large enough), beat/pulse the Oreo crumbs with the softened cream cheese until combined.
- Using a Tablespoon, scoop out a spoonful of the mixture (about 18–22g each) and, using your hands, roll into a ball. Place balls on baking sheets or plates lined with parchment paper. If the mixture is too sticky, refrigerate for 15 minutes before rolling into balls. Cover and refrigerate the balls for at least 1 hour and up to 3 days. If you’re in a rush, cover and freeze the balls for 30 minutes. (Do not freeze much longer than that, unless you transfer them to the refrigerator after 30 minutes.)
- Place chopped chocolate in a glass bowl or a 2-cup liquid measuring cup—its depth makes dipping really easy. Melt in 20-second increments in the microwave, stirring after each increment, until completely melted and smooth. You can also melt the chocolate using a double boiler, or a heatproof bowl placed over a pot of simmering water. Stir constantly until melted. Let the warm chocolate sit for 5 minutes to slightly cool before dipping, otherwise it will melt the shaped Oreo balls.
- Working with one Oreo ball at a time, submerge into the melted chocolate and swirl to coat; carefully lift out using a fork or dipping tool. Tap the fork/tool gently on the side of the bowl/measuring cup to let excess chocolate drip off. Use a toothpick to help slide the truffle off of the fork and onto a lined plate or baking sheet; or, if using the candy dipping tool, turn upside down to release.
- If desired, top with sprinkles or Oreo crumbs while the chocolate is still wet. If you have leftover or another melted chocolate, use a spoon or a squeeze bottle to drizzle it across the tops of the dipped truffles.
- Refrigerate balls for at least 1 hour to allow the chocolate to set before serving. Once chocolate is set, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator, layered with parchment or wax paper, for up to 2 weeks.
