Ingredients for Oreo Balls

Oreo cookies, cream cheese, chocolate, crushed Oreo crumbs, and sprinkles for Oreo balls
Crush Oreos, mix with cream cheese, dip in chocolate—done
  • Oreo cookies (1 standard package, 14.3 ounces): Use classic Oreos or any flavor.
  • Cream cheese (8 ounces, softened): Binds the crumbs into a truffle filling.
  • Chocolate for coating (12 ounces): Semi-sweet, milk, or white chocolate.
  • Optional toppings: Crushed Oreo crumbs, sprinkles, flaky salt.

Helpful aside: Softened cream cheese makes mixing easy. If it’s cold, you’ll fight the dough and it won’t blend smoothly.

How to Make Oreo Balls

Crush, mix, roll, dip—Oreo truffles made simple
  • 1. Crush the cookies: Pulse Oreos into fine crumbs in a food processor (or crush in a bag with a rolling pin).
  • 2. Mix the filling: Mix crumbs with softened cream cheese until it looks like a thick dough.
  • 3. Roll and chill: Roll into 1-inch balls and chill 30 minutes (or freeze 15 minutes) so they’re firm for dipping.
  • 4. Melt the chocolate: Microwave chocolate in 20-second bursts, stirring, until smooth.
  • 5. Dip and decorate: Dip each ball, tap off excess, and place back on parchment. Sprinkle toppings immediately.
  • 6. Set: Chill 20–30 minutes until chocolate is firm.

Tips for Perfect Oreo Balls

  • Chill before dipping so they don’t fall apart.
  • Work in batches (keep the rest chilled).
  • Add toppings right away—chocolate sets fast.
  • Use a fork for dipping to let excess chocolate drip off.

Variations & Substitutions

  • White chocolate Oreo balls: Coat with white chocolate and add pink sprinkles.
  • Peppermint: Use mint Oreos and top with crushed peppermint candies.
  • Peanut butter: Add 2 tablespoons peanut butter to the filling.
  • Salted: Sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky salt on dark chocolate coating.

Make-Ahead & Storing

  • Fridge: Airtight up to 1 week.
  • Freezer: Freeze up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge.
