Homemade Oreo balls made with crushed oreos and then dipped in chocolate.

Oreo Balls are a homemade candy truffle where the center is made of crushed Oreo cookies and cream cheese. Use this Oreo Balls recipe to make these delicious no-bake treats!

Oreo Balls Recipe - tips for how to make Oreo Truffles and 17 Cookie Ball variationsWhen I first saw Oreo truffles, I was immediately intrigued. Sandwich cookies are one of my kids’ favorite cookies and these no-bake candies were so incredible. Years later, the basic Oreo Balls recipe has inspired so many more recipes with different flavors, decorations, and unique combinations. They are so simple to create and yet, they always have that “WOW” appeal when you make them for a party favor or hostess gift. Oreo Cookie Balls (as they are also known) are a perfect addition to any gathering or holiday. 

How to Make Oreo Balls

You can make Oreo cookie balls with just a few ingredients: Oreos, cream cheese, and chocolate chips. And the best part is they are No-Bake! While there isn’t any baking required. You will need to freeze the Oreo balls before dipping them in melted chocolate and then chill the truffles. They are easy to make, but you do want to figure in the chilling time when making them ahead of time. Once you get the hang of it, it won’t take long before you are coming up with your own unique Oreo Truffles!

Oreo Balls Recipe

There is a printable recipe for Oreo Balls at the bottom of this page.

Ingredients:

  • 36 Oreo cookies
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 16 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate, candy melts, or almond bark

Directions:

  1. Add the cookies to a blender or food processor. Close the blender or food processor, and pulse the cookies for a few seconds at a time until the cookies are broken down into fine crumbs.
  2. Spoon the crushed Oreos into a medium mixing bowl. Add the cream cheese. Stir until the cream cheese is completely blended with the crushed Oreos.
  3. Shape into 48 (1-inch) Oreo balls. Freeze the balls for 10 minutes.
  4. While the cookie balls are freezing, melt the chocolate according to the package instructions.
  5. Dip the chilled balls into the melted chocolate. Place the balls in a single layer on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet.
  6. If you wish, sprinkle the cookie balls with cookie crumbs, sprinkles, nuts, or nonpareils while the chocolate is still soft and warm.
  7. Refrigerate the Oreo Balls for 1 hour or until firm.

Store in a sealed container. You can store Oreo Balls in your refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or up to 3 months in the freezer.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
