How to Make Oreo Truffles
See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions.
Pulse Oreos in a food processor to form fine crumbs. (You can also do this by hand.) Combine with softened cream cheese.
Roll into 1-inch balls and freezer for 30 minutes or more, then dip into melted chocolate.
Transfer to the refrigerator to set for about 10 minutes. Melt more chocolate if desired and use a fork to drizzle it over the truffles. Refrigerate for 10 minutes or until ready to serve.
Make-Ahead Method
- Oreo Truffles are a great make-ahead treat and can.be made up to 5 days of time and can be stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve!
- To make them longer than 5 days ahead, freeze them and let them thaw in the refrigerator prior to serving.
Pro Tips For This Recipe
- Don’t allow any moisture to come in contact with the melted chocolate, this will cause it to seize when it’s melted. This includes using wet utensils to stir, etc.
- Don’t melt the chocolate too quickly, low and slow is best. Follow package instructions.
- Use melting chocolate or Baker’s bars as opposed to chocolate chips to ensure a smoother consistency.
- To color the chocolate: Add 4 drops of oil-based food coloring to melted white chocolate and stir until uniform in color. (Oil based food coloring is needed to ensure that the chocolate doesn’t seize.)
- You can also decorate the tops with sprinkles or crushed cookies right after they’ve been dipped.
Storage
- These can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or you can freeze them for up to 3 months.

It’s been a long time since I made Oreo truffles. You inspire me to mae them again. 😀 Happy FF, Steph. I love Sally, too. 🙂
Hey Jhuls! I know, this was my first time making them and I can already tell I’ll be making them again soon, (probably as soon as we run out… which, again, is soon!) HA! 🙂
What an easy and delicious dessert this is. I just love it. Thanks for sharing 🙂
THANK YOU! 🙂 I love how easy it was, it was almost hard to believe. Perfect for when you’re pressed for time. And who doesn’t love Oreos? 🙂
I think I could pop about a dozen of these, love oreo’s and your little truffles are beautiful. Love how easy they are to put together. Thanks for bringing to the party.
I know Suzanne, it’s really hard to stop eating them once you get going, they’re so tasty, my husband and I have really enjoyed them… I couldn’t believe how easy they were too. Perfect for when you have to bring something somewhere last minute!
Oh, I love this easy recipe. 🙂 It sounds so delicious! 🙂
Lucky you giving aways those awesome cookbooks. Happy Fiesta Friday
Thank you Tina!! Yeah I am a big fan of giveaways, I hope to keep them coming! I have a new one coming up that I think people will like 🙂 Wahoo!!
these look yummy thanks for sharing have a great day
Thanks Lorraine! 🙂 You TOO!
Someone brought Oreo truffles to a party I hosted recently. I have never had one before, and it was so good and addicting. The ones you made look as equally irresistible! Kudos to you for braving the elements to take these pictures, Stephanie. It’s brutal out there! Another possible foot predicted for this weekend for my area. Woo hoo!!
HEY Thao!!! I actually recently had these truffles for the first time too, they almost won a Cookie contest that we had a work, they got 2nd place (not sure if they really count as a cookie or not, haha!)- but they sure are addicting like you said! ..we are supposed to get about 10 inches or so this weekend too, you definitely won’t be catching me outside taking pictures anymore, hhahaa.. wayy too cold for that! 🙂
These look sooo yummy, oh my gosh! I feel your pain in trying to get good light, here in the UK it’s so grey all winter – I shoot my photos in the conservatory and even a room made of windows isn’t light enough!
I love Sally’s Baking Addiction too, so many amazing things! I’m in the UK so can’t enter the giveaway, but love it anyway!
Hey Michelle! – You know, you’re the FIRST one I thought of when I was writing about the contest having to be in the US 🙁 Wahhhh! No fair!…. PS- I have a room filled with windows, a “SUN ROOM” in fact…. and that doesn’t do the trick either : ( Booooooooo!
You had me at “No Bake” Stephanie! My hubby would absolutely love these!!! Love your pics by the way!
Thank you so much Lori!!… I know, the “no bake” gets my attention every time.. sometime the best recipes require the least amount of work, it’s weird… this is definitely one of the easiest/best desserts I’ve tried!
Wow, totally impressed here and also glad that no baking is involved. What a delicious treat! Thank you for bringing everybody’s favorite cookie in a much better form to the party this week!
Thanks Sue! This inspired me to try making other kinds of truffles, it was just so easy! Dare I try chocolate covered cherries?! AH!
Oooooh those look SO GOOD!!! I’m a huge fan of Sally’s Baking Addiction, I’ve pinned so many of her recipes! I’m excited for you and your giveaways, congratulations 😀 Oh, and major kudos to you for braving the elements to take those fantastic photos! Ah the life of a food blogger, the things we do for good lighting huh? 😉
Thank you Amanda! I know- aren’t Sally’s recipes great?! I bet her Cookbook is filled with so many colorful pics and great recipes! — and yes, what we go through in the name of the right lighting is ridiculous! (And I STILL think my pics aren’t light enough, dang!)
