No-Bake Oreo Cookie Balls: Decadent Oreo Truffles
Oreo truffles are a fun and easy no-bake recipe for sharing with friends and family. Made with just a handful of simple ingredients, these cookie balls are delicious for holidays, game days, or just because.

What are Oreo Truffles?
Oreo truffles, also known as Oreo balls, are a delightful blend of crushed Oreo cookies and creamy, tangy cream cheese, all coated in delectable chocolate. They are reminiscent of cake pops, swapping out cake for Oreos, creating a treat that straddles the line between cookies and candy. Perfect for gifting or sharing during the holidays, these little delights are just as suitable for birthday parties and gatherings, or even a simple indulgence when the sweet tooth strikes.

How to Make Oreo Truffles
This classic Oreo truffle recipe uses just three ingredients and minimal time to prepare, making it an excellent activity for kids and grandkids. Involving them in rolling the balls and decorating the truffles adds an extra layer of fun!
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 40 regular Oreos (a family-size package)
- 1 (8-ounce) package of room-temperature cream cheese
- 1 (10-ounce) package of Ghirardelli dark chocolate flavored melting wafers
For the best results, ensure you’re using regular Oreos for this recipe. Reserve double-stuffed or thin Oreos for snacking. If you cannot find the family-size package, two smaller packages will suffice.

Making Your Oreo Truffles
To begin, crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor. Set the crumbs aside. In a mixing bowl, beat the room-temperature cream cheese on medium speed until smooth, then stir in the Oreo crumbs until fully combined.
Using a medium (1.5-tablespoon) cookie scoop, portion out the dough into 20-22 balls. Roll them smoothly in your hands and place them on a lined baking sheet. Freeze for one hour.

After freezing, melt the chocolate wafers according to the package instructions. Dip each ball using a toothpick, letting excess chocolate drip off. Place them back on the lined baking sheet.

If desired, drizzle with melted white chocolate and sprinkle with Oreo crumbs or your choice of decorations while the coating is still wet. Refrigerate until set.
Storage and Freezing Tips
Store Oreo truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe container for up to two months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight when ready to enjoy.

Recipe Variations
- For a peppermint twist, use peppermint Oreos and add crushed candy canes.
- For a chocolate-free option, use vanilla melting wafers with Golden Oreos.
- Make it gluten-free with gluten-free Oreos and ensure all toppings are gluten-free.
- Change the chocolate coating to white chocolate or colored melts for a festive look.
FAQs
Do you crush the entire Oreo cookies, including the crème filling? Yes, you should crush the whole cookies without removing the filling.
Can I use chocolate chips instead of wafers for coating? While you can use chocolate chips, melt them with a bit of shortening or coconut oil for a smoother coating.
