How to make Oreo Balls for Christmas:

Prepare a baking sheet. Line a cutting board or baking sheet with parchment paper.

Crush the cookies. Finely crush Oreos in a food processor.

Process photos of crushing cookies and forming into balls.

Mix together. Combine softened cream cheese and crushed cookies until well blended in a large mixing bowl.

Make the Oreo Balls. Form the mixture into 1″ balls and roll the ball until it is smooth. Place them on the prepared sheet.

Freeze. Place them in the freezer for 30 minutes.

Melt the chocolate. Heat both of the dipping chocolates in 2 separate bowls by microwaving for 1 minute stirring and repeating until melted.

Dip into chocolate. Using a fork, dip each ball into chocolate to completely coat. Shake off excess chocolate and return to the lined baking sheet. Dip half of the Oreo balls in the melted chocolate and the other half in the melted white chocolate.

Add the sprinkles. Top some of the Oreo balls with the Christmas Sprinkles before the chocolate hardens. Then allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature.

Melt the candy coating. Then melt the candy melts in 2 separate bowls by microwaving them in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval until fully melted.

Drizzle and swirl over the truffles. Drizzle over the chocolate balls without the sprinkles. Allow to harden and then they are ready to enjoy!

How to Dip Oreo Balls in Chocolate:

It is easiest to dip the Oreo balls if you freeze them for 15 minutes to 30 minutes. Then use a fork to dip each one into the melted chocolate.

Try to remove any excess chocolate by shaking the fork gently.

How to drizzle chocolate:

This is very simple. Just use a fork and dip into the melted candy. Using a back and forth motion, to drizzle the chocolate on top of the Oreo balls.

You can use more than one color to make a pretty design.

How to store Oreo balls:

The oreo truffles can be stored at room temperature for up to 1 week. However, if you live in a humid area, you may want to store them in the refrigerator to prevent the chocolate from melting.

Can you freeze Oreo balls?

Yes, you can freeze these. There are two options.

Freeze the coated Oreo balls. I would use wax paper in between the layers so they don’t stick. This will also help them to stay intact.
Freeze the uncoated Oreo balls. Make the balls ahead of time and freeze. When ready to use, finish dipping in chocolate. This will save you some of the prep work during the holidays.

Variations:

Almond Bark. Substitute this for the chocolate chips if preferred.
Dark Chocolate. Try using dark chocolate to coat the Oreo Balls for another delicious flavor.
Sprinkles. Enjoy these year round by simply changing the sprinkles. The options are endless for sprinkles.
Candy Melts. Try other colors for holidays and other occasions. Pink and Red would be pretty for Valentine’s Day. Pastels for Spring or Easter.
Cake Pop. Insert a lollipop stick into the Oreo balls before dipping into chocolate. Kids will love these Oreo Cake Pops.
Crushed candy. Top each one with crushed candy canes or peppermints for a tasty mint flavor.
Oreo Flavors. Traditional is my favorite but it is fun to use other types of Oreo cookies in this recipe. Some ideas include the ones with mint filling or chocolate filling.
Crushed cookies. Crush a few extra Oreo cookies and top the truffles with Oreo crumbs. This especially looks pretty against the ones coated in white chocolate.

Tips and Tricks:

Cookie Scoop. I prefer to make the Oreo balls using a cookie scoop. It makes it easy to form and ensures they are the correct size. Plus, each one is uniform.
Softened Cream Cheese. The simple mixture is easier to combine when the cream cheese has been softened.
Full Fat. Now isn’t the time to substitute reduced fat cream cheese. The Oreo balls will have the best flavor and texture using full fat cream cheese.
Food Processor. It is quickest and easiest to crush the cookies using a food processor. However, if you do not have one just crush them inside a ziplock bag. Seal the bag and pound with a rolling pin or back of a wooden spoon until finely crushed.
Parchment Paper. The baking sheet is much easier to clean if lined with parchment paper. This will help with any excess chocolate.

Make this recipe an annual tradition.

Everyone loves when I make these and the kids have fun helping. We make these every year for Christmas.

This no bake dessert is simple to make and always disappears quickly. Everyone loves them.

We enjoy these so much that we make them all year long. It is super easy to substitute the sprinkles and candy coating. They are really pretty for baby showers, birthdays and more.

Once you try them, you will be hooked.
