Oreo Truffles
These Oreo Truffles are the ideal no-bake recipe for entertaining, cookie exchanges, gifts, birthdays, bridal showers, baby showers or for the holidays. I especially love them topped with crushed candy canes for Christmas! This Oreo Balls recipe couldn’t be any easier to make with the mouthwatering trifecta of Oreos, cream cheese and chocolate. To make, you’ll just blend the cream cheese & Oreos crumbs together, dip the balls in chocolate and then decorate however you like, for whatever occasion. The decorated Oreo Cookie Balls can last up to two weeks in the refrigerator so they are perfect to make ahead!

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick silicone mat; set aside.
2
Pulse Oreos in a food processor into fine crumbs. Reserve 2 tablespoons crumbs for topping.
3
Add softened cream cheese and pulse until well combined into a sticky dough.
4
Use a 1 TBS cookie scoop or tablespoon to scoop mixture and roll into balls. Place balls on prepared baking sheet so they aren’t touching
5
Freeze Oreo balls for at least ⏱️ 30 minutes or until ready to dip. Meanwhile, line a second baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick mat.
6
Melt almond bark or candy melts according to package directions until smooth. Whisk in the shortening until smooth. Note, I usually have to reheat the chocolate towards the end of dipping because it starts to thicken up (I use a double broiler), but you can also microwave for ⏱️ 5-10 seconds.
. white almond bark or chocolate almond bark (or 8 each (may also use vanilla and/or chocolate candy melts))16 ozalmond bark, candy melts or baker's chocolate for drizzling (optional) (chocolate, white chocolate or half and half)6 ounces
7
Remove only a few truffles from the freezer at a time so they stay firm, otherwise, they will soften and melt in the chocolate. Dip the bottom of one ball in the chocolate then balance it on the end of a butter knife or fork and use a spoon to pour some chocolate over the top until fully covered. Let the excess chocolate run off then use a toothpick to gently slide the truffle onto the parchment paper.
8
If not drizzling with chocolate: immediately sprinkle the top with crushed Oreos, crushed candy canes, etc. because the chocolate sets very quickly. If you want to drizzle the tops with contrasting chocolate, then let the chocolate set first, then drizzle, then add the Oreos.
9
To drizzle: once the truffles are set (about ⏱️ 10 minutes), melt the chocolate in a small microwave safe bowl or melt according to package directions. You can either dip a fork into the melted chocolate and drizzle it over the Oreo balls or let the chocolate cool slightly, then transfer it to a plastic bag, snip the corner, and drizzle over the truffles.
10
Place the truffles in the refrigerator for at least ⏱️ 30 minutes before serving. If not serving immediealty, cover the truffles once set or store in a tightly sealed container with parchment paper in between any rows for up to 2 weeks.
