Oreo Balls are easy enough for anyone.
I’ve turned to these Oreo truffle balls on so many different occasions, as casual as a weekend craving, or fancy as a Valentine’s or Christmas party. My daughter even loves to make them for bake sales.
They’re the easiest no bake recipe made with only 3 ingredients: a package of Oreos, a block of cream cheese, and melted chocolate. Once you have this base recipe, there are so many ways to make different flavor variations, or decorate them for specific holidays.
3 Ingredients Needed:
How to make Oreo Balls:
Crush whole Oreo cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs (or seal them in a ziplock bag and use a rolling pin to smash them). Add to a bowl with soft cream cheese and stir well to combine.
Scoop and roll mixture into 1-inch tablespoon size balls and place on a lined baking sheet. Freeze for 15 minutes.
Dip: Melt chocolate or candy wafers according to package instructions. Dip the cold Oreo balls in the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off, then place back on lined baking sheet.
Decorate (optional): sprinkle tops with Oreo crumbs, sprinkles, nuts, or crushed peppermint. Or, once set, drizzle melted white chocolate.
Recipe Variations:
- Mint Oreo Balls: Use mint creme Oreos and sprinkle with crushed peppermint candy. If you want a stronger peppermint flavor, you could add a little peppermint extract to the cream cheese mixture.
- Red Velvet Oreo Balls: Crush red velvet Oreos, and dip in melted chocolate.
- Halloween Oreo Balls: Use regular Oreos and dip in white chocolate to make ghosts or mummies – use mini chocolate chips for the eyes, and drizzle white chocolate lines on top for the mummy. To make pumpkin Oreo balls dip in melted orange vanilla candy wafers, add a small pretzel stick for the stem and a green m&m for the vine.
- Christmas Oreo Balls: Use Christmas sprinkles, or drizzle with melted red and green candy wafers. You could also make a reindeer by using candy eyes and a red hot for the nose and broken pretzels for the antlers. You can make a snowman Oreo ball by dipping it in white chocolate then using a mini Oreo for a hat. Pipe on the face with little piping tubes, or decorate with sprinkles.
- Golden Oreo Balls: Use golden Oreos and white chocolate for dipping.
- Peanut Butter Oreos: Use peanut butter flavored Oreos and dip in melted chocolate or use regular Oreos and swap out the cream cheese for 1 cup of creamy peanut butter.
- Gluten Free: Use gluten free Oreos and gluten free chocolate for dipping.
- Vegan: Use vegan cream cheese and vegan chocolate. Or you can use a 1 cup of creamy vegan peanut butter.

Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Crush Oreos: Add whole Oreo cookies to a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs (alternately, use a ziplock bag and a rolling pin to gently smash them into fine crumbs).
Mix: Add cream cheese to a mixing bowl and mix it until smooth. Add Oreo crumbs (reserve 1 Tablespoon of cookie crumbs for sprinkling on top at the end, if desired). Stir to combine.
Scoop the mixture into 1 Tablespoon size balls then place them on a lined baking sheet. Freeze for 15 minutes.
Melt Chocolate candy wafers according to package instructions.
Dip: Remove balls from freezer and dip them in melted chocolate. I like to use a fork and let excess chocolate dip through the tines of the fork, tapping it gently on the edge of the bowl, before placing on baking sheet.
Chill in the fridge for at least an hour before serving. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
