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.

Do you remove the cream from the middle of the Oreos before processing it?
No, you don’t remove the cream.
I am making these for a Valentine’s sale at church this Sunday! Will they be ok being out of the fridge (in a pkg.) for a couple hours? Also, I’d like to try them with gluten free Oreos because there are several gluten-free kids and adults at church. Would that work? Thanks!
Hi Joan, I think that they would be fine in a covered storage container for a few hours, (I wouldn’t throw them in a bag or anything like that, just in case), and I haven’t tested this with gluten free Oreos. (But I think it would work!)
I use to make these all the time but inCan’t find regular size Oreos anymore, I’m
only finding the family size or now bigger size. Anybody know how many cups of crushed Oreos this turns out to be?
Thanks
Hi Jean, if you have a family size I would just take out like 5-6 Oreos and then use the rest of the package.
If I don’t have a food processor would a blender work?
Yes, that would work! 🙂
I make these every Christmas! My friends and family are shocked when they hear they are made with only 3 ingredients. Soooo good.
@runbakebehappy
It’s so funny how many people I’ve shocked with this only being 3 ingredients! I make them every year around the holidays too, my daughter loves decorating them with fun Christmas colors. Thanks so much for the great review Kathryn!💖
You mentioned the Oreo truffles can be frozen. Is that after they’ve been dipped in chocolate? Thank you
Kat
Yes! 🙂
These are so easy to make and everyone loves them. I save some of the cookie crumbs before adding the cream cheese. I use those crumbs to sprinkle on top while chocolate is still warm and before cooling in the fridge. I don’t decorate with another chocolate as I’m not as creative with that. The dipping takes me a bit longer than stated time. Worth it though as they are delicious.
I love your idea of incorporating the cookie crumbs Cindy😋 Every time I make these I can’t believe how easy and yummy they are. Thanks so much for the great comments and review!💖
36 in regular pack and 48 in the family pack (according to google)!
Thank you Donna! I couldn’t get a current answer when I had Googled it but now I see the same thing, updated as of this year! 🙂
Hi! Do you use the large package of Oreos or the smaller one?
I use a 14.3 oz package. 😊 (regular size, not family size)
I was wondering how many balls this recipe makes?
Hi Mylee! The number of servings is at the top of the recipe card in the middle (just for future reference)! This makes 25 truffles! 🙂
These were fantastic thank you so much! Could you tell me are the calories listed an estimate for each ball or listed for the whole batch? Please and thank you!
I’m so happy that you liked them Kitty! 🙂 The nutritional information is per truffle!
