The Absolute Best & Easiest Oreo Balls Recipe (No-Bake Truffles)

These Oreo balls (aka Oreo truffles) are the ultimate no-bake treat — just 3 ingredients, 30 minutes hands-on, and they disappear at every party. Creamy Oreo center coated in chocolate, perfect for holidays, gifts, or midnight snacks.

Prep: 30 min | Chill: 1 hr | Yield: ~36 balls

Ingredients

1 package (36 cookies) regular Oreos (or flavored – mint, golden, etc.)

8 oz (226g) cream cheese, softened

12–16 oz melting chocolate (semi-sweet, milk, white, or candy melts)

Optional toppings: crushed Oreos, sprinkles, sea salt, drizzle contrasting chocolate

Instructions

Step 1: Crush Oreos (whole cookies + filling) in food processor until fine crumbs — no chunks!

Step 2; Add softened cream cheese → pulse until dough forms (like play-dough consistency).

Step 3: Roll into 1-inch balls (~1 tbsp each) → place on parchment-lined tray → freeze 15–20 min.

Step 4: Melt chocolate in microwave (20-sec bursts, stirring) or double boiler.

Step 5: Dip frozen balls in chocolate → tap off excess → place back on parchment.

Step 6: Add toppings immediately (before chocolate sets) → chill 10–15 min until firm.
