What You’ll Need
Ingredient Notes
- Oreos– Make sure to use the regular ones and NOT the double stuff kind. The extra filling will change the consistency of the truffle making it too soft to work with.
- Candy melts– You can use any kind of candy melts you have on hand (like Wilton brand), but I highly recommend getting the Ghirardelli. It has the best melting consistency and is very easy to work with.
- Cream cheese- Use full-fat cream cheese to get the right rich and creamy consistency in the Oreo truffles.
Add-ins and Substitutions
- Add flavors– You can peppermint, orange, or rum extract for a burst of holiday flavor.
- Add nuts– For extra crunch, you can mix in chopped pecans, almonds, or walnuts into the Oreo truffle “mixture.”
- Toppings– You can always add finely crushed Oreos on top. Another great topping would be chopped nuts or finely crushed freeze-dried fruit like raspberry or strawberry. For Christmas time, try adding crushed candy canes on top too!
- Make it Gluten-free- You can buy gluten-free Oreos so anyone with gluten intolerance can indulge in these!
How to Make Oreo Truffles
- Make the cookies into crumbles. Place the Oreo cookies (including the filling) into a food processor. then pulse a few times at high speed or until the Oreos are crushed up to a very fine crumb.
- Add cream cheese. Then add the softened cream cheese inside and mix at high speed again, until the cream cheese and Oreos are well combined.
- Roll the mix into balls. Now use a medium-sized cookie scoop or a cake baller to scoop out even amounts of Oreo mixture. Then place it into your hand and roll it out to a ball.
- Freeze them. Then transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once all of the Oreo truffles are shaped, transfer them to the freezer and freeze them for 15 minutes.
- Melt the chocolate. In the meantime place 10 ounces of chocolate candy melts into a microwave-safe bowl and melt the chocolate in 20-second intervals with mixing in between.
Pro Tip: Microwave the candy melts in small increments to avoid scorching the chocolate. You don’t want to overheat it.
- Cover the balls with chocolate. After the chocolate candy coating is thoroughly melted, begin covering the Oreo truffles in the candy coating.
- Using a knife and spoon completely cover the Oreo balls. I find that the best way to do this is by placing a small amount of melted candy melts onto the thickest part of a butter knife, then placing one Oreo truffle on top of the blob of chocolate (to help hold it in place). Then use a small spoon to scoop melted chocolate over the truffle. Once the truffle is fully coated in chocolate, slide it onto a wax paper-lined baking sheet using another butter knife. Continue doing this with all of the Oreo truffles.
- Drizzle with white chocolate. Once the Oreo truffles are set, melt 5 ounces of white candy melts into a bowl and then pour into a disposable pastry bag and snip off a small part of the end. Then drizzle the melted white candy melts over the Oreo truffles. Let them set for about 20 minutes before serving
Recipe Tips
- If you don’t have a food processor, you can crush up the Oreos by placing them in a gallon sized ziplock bag and beating them with a rolling pin. Then whip the cream cheese in a bowl with an electric hand mixer and then mix in the crushed Oreos.
- Instead of melting the chocolate in intervals, you can use the melt chocolate setting on your microwave if you have that option.
- Make these into cake pops by placing the cold truffles onto a cake pop stick and following my Oreo cake pops recipe as a guide.
- If your candy melts are too thick, you can thin them out with 1-2 teaspoons of coconut oil.
