The most delicious Oreo Balls are made by mixing crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese, rolling them into balls, and dipping them in melted chocolate! Why We’re Obsessed With Oreo Balls Customizable: Adaptable for various occasions and themes. Check out our Christmas Truffles, Halloween Truffles, Golden Truffles, and Mint Truffles. Perfect Mix: Combines Oreos and cream cheese, a match made in heaven Simple Preparation: Easy to make with minimal ingredients. Shareable Size: Ideal for parties and gatherings. Convenient: Can be made ahead and stored. Ingredients Oreos: Crushed to form the flavorful base of the truffles. Cream Cheese: Binds the crumbs into a moldable mixture. Chocolate Chips: Used for coating, adding an extra layer of chocolate flavor. White Chocolate: Optional, for decorative drizzling on your oreo balls. Vegetable/Coconut Oil (Optional): Thins the chocolate for easier coating. How To Make Oreo Balls Blend whole Oreos into fine crumbs. Combine the crumbs with softened cream cheese until smooth. Roll the mixture into balls and chill for 15-20 minutes. Melt your choice of chocolate in the microwave, adding oil if needed. Dip chilled balls in melted chocolate, removing excess. Optionally sprinkle with Oreo crumbs or drizzle with melted white chocolate. Allow the chocolate to harden, then serve or store in the fridge. Tips And Tricks Use high-quality chocolate: like Guittard® or Ghirardelli® for better melting and flavor. Freeze un-dipped truffles: briefly for easier oreo balls dipping. Add more oil to thick chocolate: for a smoother coating. Use a tablespoon or scoop: for uniform ball sizes. How To Dip Oreo Balls Place a chilled ball on a fork. Pour melted chocolate over it. Tap the fork to smooth and remove excess chocolate. Slide the ball onto a parchment-lined tray to set. STORAGE Store Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. To freeze, place the balls on a lined baking sheet until firm, then transfer to an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw in refrigerator before serving.

Course Dessert, Snack Cuisine American Keyword oreo ball, oreo truffle Prep Time 20 minutes minutes Chilling Time 20 minutes minutes Total Time 40 minutes minutes Servings 35 Oreo Truffles Chelsea Lords Calories 87kcal Author Chelsea Lords Ingredients▢ 14.3 ounces Oreos (1 package--36 whole Oreos)▢ 8 ounces full-fat, brick-style cream cheese, softened to room temperature▢ 2 cups milk, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate melting wafers (Note 1)▢ 1/2 cup white chocolate▢ Optional: vegetable oil or coconut oilUS - Metric USMetric InstructionsPREP: Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.BLEND OREOS: Place the whole Oreos (cookie and filling) in a food processor or blender. Pulse until you achieve a fine crumb. Re-process any large pieces. Transfer all but 2 tablespoons crumbs (set aside for later) to a large bowl or stand mixer. MAKE FILLING: Combine the Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese. Use a stand mixer or electric hand mixers to beat until well combined.ROLL BALLS: Scoop Oreo "dough" by tablespoons (opt for smaller balls for a higher Oreo-to-chocolate ratio, but you can make them larger if preferred). Knead dough into smooth, even balls. Repeat with all dough until it's rolled into balls.CHILL: Place in fridge or freezer and chill for 15 to 20 minutes.MELT CHOCOLATE: Combine the chocolate and oil in a glass bowl. Microwave in 15-second increments, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. Add some oil if needed to thin. (I usually add about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per cup of chocolate.) Stir until smooth. Allow to cool for ~5 minutes to prevent melting the truffles when dipping.DIP TRUFFLES: Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring an even coat. Lift out with a fork, tap to remove excess chocolate, and use a toothpick to eliminate any bubbles. Use a table knife to gently slide the truffle onto a lined sheet to set. OPTIONAL: Immediately sprinkle half with reserved Oreo crumbs if desired, or let the chocolate set slightly before drizzling with melted white chocolate: add white chocolate (and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon oil if desired, to make it easier to work with) to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in bursts of 15 seconds, stirring in between each burst for 15 seconds until smooth. Transfer melted white chocolate into a plastic bag and seal it. Cut off very tip with scissors and pipe through bag in stripes across Oreo balls.SET & STORE: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the chocolate to set. Store in an airtight container, separated by parchment or wax paper, in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. (Due to the cream cheese, these truffles must be refrigerated.) Video Recipe NotesNote 1: Chocolate: We recommend chocolate made for melting like good quality baking bars (such as Baker's, Lindt, or Ghiradelli) or good quality melting wafers (such as Ghiradelli) for best results. (Both bars and melts are found in the baking aisle of the store--we like using melts best for ease!). Use whatever flavor of chocolate you like best!

Oreo balls are one of my favorite holiday treats to me! Easy, fun to decorate and always loved by all! Reply
If substituting marshmallow cream for the cream cheese in these Oreo truffles, how much marshmallow cream? Is it 8oz…the same amount as cream cheese? Thanks!! Reply
Very good!! I didn’t have time to coat them in chocolate when I first made the dough so after chilling step the dough sat in the fridge for a few days and they were still tasty when I finished making them later. I got 22 balls just eyeballing the size. Reply
