Any dessert that looks as gorgeous as this and requires no baking has my full attention! These are so fun to decorate- you can make these in different colors and decorate them with sprinkles, crushed cookies, and more!
There are a few key things to know in order to ensure that your chocolate is silky smooth! I also have great make-ahead and storage info for you, so let’s go!
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.

Instructions
Make the Balls:

Dip in Chocolate

I am looking for a glutten free desert to take to an upcoming Super Bowl Party. this is easy enough for me and looks so great. thanks
Yay that’s awesome Sally!!! Enjoy, they are SO GOOD!!! 😁
Made these last night.. Turned out so good! Was thinking about giving as a gift for coworkers.. How long do you think they would be good at room temp after freezing?
Hey Kayleigh! I’m so glad that you liked these! Giving them as gifts is a great idea! Technically it’s best to keep these refrigerated, but, I’ve left them on my counter at room temperature for a few days before and they’ve been fine, but since it’s cream cheese- you might suggest they refrigerate them just to play it safe.
So good, and so easy to make! Thank you!
Excellent, so happy to hear it Noelle!
My granddaughter is 15 and she made these to surprise me. They are indescribably good! They have a very smooth center and just about melt in your mouth.
Hi Kathy!! I’m so happy that you loved these, they’re definitely one of my favorites! What a sweet gift from your granddaughter! (Literally 😁)
Will the chocolate coating still work if we use white chocolate chips? I accidentally bought those instead of melting chocolate.
Hi Susan, it sure will! 🙂
Shared with my readers and pointed them here for directions. Thanks for the recipe!
How do these hold up? I am collecting easy recipes to make cookies and candy to send to grandkids about three thousand miles away. do you think they would travel well or would the cream cheese make them a bad alternative?
Hi Linda, 3000 miles is quite a ways, I’m a little bit nervous about these holding up. They do hold up pretty well, but just in case, maybe something else might be a safer bet? These snickers cookies are to die for!! https://thecozycook.com/snickers-cookies/
This recipe is so good!! How do I store the remaining truffles til ready to serve?
Hi Ronnie! You can store these up at 5 days in the refrigerater or 2-3 months in the freezer!
Can these delicious oreo truffles be frozen after they have been completely made including the dripped chocolate on the top? I have made these before several times but never needed to freeze them but now it has become necessary. Hopefully they will freeze fine but needed answers from an expert. Thanks so much.
Hi Donna! I have frozen them before and it’s been absolutely fine (I actually like eating them frozen but I’m weird… haha!) 🙂
Thank you very much for this information. I so appreciate your response and I I doubt very much that you are weirdI I hope that you have a very Merry Christmas with lots of extra time to post these great recipes as well as responses to questions. Thanks again for your kind response.
Donna Fuller.
Such a nice message, Donna… it really made my day. Thank you so much. I hope you have a Merry Christmas as well, and a great weekend!! 🙂
I did this recipe for the local fundraiser. Mine didn’t look as good as yours but they are incredibly easy to make and very tasty. As they are so sweet, like you said they are so easily tweaked to make different kinds so I would like to use maybe a dark orange chocolate covering next time. Thanks for sharing.
Keep up the good work 🙂 xxx
Thank you so much for your comments Dawn, and dark orange chocolate sounds SUPER delicious, I might try that next time too! Love your blog!!!!!!
