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.

Hello, I’m making for a wedding and placing in small paper wraps like the ones used for mini cupcakes. Should I put into paper cups while dipping in chocolate or after they harden? Also is it easier to scoop dough with cookie scoop instead of hand rolling? Thank you!
Hi Aricci! I would wait until the harden. And I think using a small cookie scoop is a great idea but I would still give them a roll with your hands to make them uniformly round. What a great addition to a wedding! 🙂
Great thank you so much for the quick response. I’m going to get busy! 😊😋
Super yummy! I made these then with the leftover chocolate, made chocolate covered strawberries! Must try!
Chocolate covered strawberries are yummmm! Thanks so much for the great review!😃
Can you use gel food coloring?
Unfortunately gel based coloring will make your chocolate seize.
Can I make the mixture, roll them into balls and then freeze them until I am ready to coat them with chocolate? Preferably the next day?
Hi Melissa! That should work just fine! ☺️
Is this the family size package of Oreos? Or how much to be exact? 🙂
I’ve used both and they both work, regular is fine! 🙂
Thank you. I have the family size do I need to add cream cheese or just make as directed?
As directed 🙂
Want to try this candy. Do you remove the cream filling first before crushing the cookie?
Hi Darlene, no, you crush the whole cookie, cream and all 🙂
Opps – never mind! Just found the qty of 1 batch = 25 Thanks!
Glad you found it Vickie! Enjoy!!
Hi Steph – About how many does 1 batch make?
I made these, along with other sweets, for my family and friends for the holidays last year and this was everyone’s favorite! This is my new go-to recipe.
