What’s in this Oreo Truffles Recipe?
You only need 3 common ingredients to make these Oreo truffles. You may even have an ingredient or two at home already.
- Oreos: Form the base of these truffles and give them that classic cookies and cream flavor.
- Cream Cheese: Helps bind the Oreo crumbs together and adds a creamy, tangy flavor.
- Melting Chocolate: Holds everything together, creating a crunchy outer shell.
Pro Tip: Make sure that you take out the cream cheese an hour before you plan to make these truffles. Your cream cheese must be soft before you mix it in.
Variations on Oreo Truffle Balls
You can easily change up the flavor of these truffles by using different kinds of Oreos. Try Golden Oreos, lemon, toffee crunch, chocolate hazelnut, mint, or birthday cake! Switch up the melting chocolate to match. You can use dark, semisweet, milk, or white chocolate.
Colored melting chocolate is a great way to give a hint to the flavors inside. Use yellow for lemon and green for mint, and add colored sprinkles to plain white chocolate for birthday cake!

- Remove from the food processor and place the dough into a bowl. Use a portion scoop or spoon to roll into balls no bigger than 1½ inches.

- Dip each truffle into the chocolate, covering it completely. Remove with a spoon or a fork and place on parchment or wax paper, letting the truffles sit until the chocolate sets.
- Repeat with other chocolates and drizzle or top with sprinkles, if desired.
Notes
- Chocolate: If using white and milk chocolate, use half a pound of each.
- This recipe makes 28 truffles using the a 1½ inch scoop.
- If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a large bag and crush them until they are a fine powder. Remove or crush any large pieces. Add the crumbs into a large bowl and stir in the cream cheese.
- I use a 1½ inch portion scoop, which I feel is the perfect size. If you want a smaller single bite truffle, make them about 1 inch in size. I wouldn’t suggest going too much bigger than 1½ inches in size.
- You can dip these in any color of melting chocolates for theme parties or holiday events. I made a truffle tree using a styrofoam tree and attached them with toothpicks. It was the perfect way to serve them at a party!
- Make sure that you take out the cream cheese an hour before you plan to make these truffles. Your cream cheese must be soft before you mix it in.
- You can also use a toothpick to help cover the truffles in chocolate. Stick a toothpick into the truffle and roll it in the chocolate. Drip off any excess.
- You can also add crushed Oreo cookies to the top of these truffles. Make sure to add them while the chocolate is still wet.
