👩🏽‍🍳 Ingredient notes

• Oreo cookies - you'll need one package of 24 Oreo cookies. Be sure to use the regular Oreos, NOT the Double Stuff.
• Cream cheese - Take an 8-ounce block of cream cheese out of the refrigerator and allow to soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This makes it easier to mix with the Oreo cookies.
• Baking chocolate - I use semi-sweet baking chocolate, and you'll need 8 ounces total. Some bars come in 4-ounce portions, while others come in 8-ounce portions, so be sure to get the right amount.

It also never hurts to have more chocolate on hand, in case you are heavy-handed with the coating and end up needing more chocolate to finish the batch.

✅ Step-by-step Instructions

Here's how to make this Oreo ball recipe (for full details, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post).

1. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.

2. In a food processor, blend Oreo cookies and softened cream cheese until the cream cheese is well blended with the crushed oreos.

3. Use your hands (or a small cookie scoop) to form 1-inch balls. Simply roll them around between the palms of your hands until they are nicely rounded. Place the small balls onto the prepared lined baking sheet.

4. Chill in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes. This really helps set the truffles and also helps the chocolate coating go on more smoothly.

5. In the meantime, melt the baking chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds. Stir, then microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring well in between each one, until chocolate is just melted. Watch the chocolate carefully to make sure it doesn't seize up!

6. Remove the truffles from the refrigerator and dip into the baking chocolate, fully coating all sides. You can do this just using your hands to roll the truffles in the chocolate.

7. Or, use a fork to gently dip the Oreo balls into the bowl of melted chocolate, coat all around, lift out with the fork, then gently set down onto wax or parchment paper.

Then use a second fork in my other hand to keep the truffle in place while I guide the first fork up and away from the truffle.

8. Sprinkle colored sugar sprinkles over each truffle, if desired.

9. Place coated truffles onto the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes until fully chilled, or until ready to serve.

🥣 Kitchen Tools and Equipment

Here's the equipment you'll need to make these delicious oreo truffles.

• Food Processor - a food processor makes blending the cream cheese and Oreo cookies a breeze. If you do NOT have a food processor: crush the Oreo cookies using a gallon-size resealable bag and rolling pin and mix with the cream cheese.
• Baking sheet - You'll need a baking sheet with parchment paper for chilling the truffles twice.
