Why You Will Love this Oreo Recipe
This Oreo Cookie Balls recipe is an easy, no-bake dessert recipe that only needs a few basic ingredients. These treats are perfect for special events, holiday parties or just anytime you want an easy, but fun snack!

Ingredients:
- Oreo Sandwich Cookies– I use the whole package of regular Oreos
- Cream Cheese– room temperature cream cheese works best
- Melting Chocolate
- Melting White Chocolate
Directions:
- In a food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies until they are finely crushed.
- Add the brick of cream cheese, cut into pieces, to the crushed Oreo mix and combine until it forms a dough.
- Use a cookie scoop to get a ball of the cream cheese mixture. Once scooped, roll the dough into 1-2 inch cream cheese balls, and then place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes chilling time to harden.
- While the balls are in the freezer, melt the chocolate in a double boiler over medium heat or in a microwave-safe bowl. If microwaving, begin with just heating for one minute, stirring at 15-second increments until the chocolate is completely melted.
- Once the chocolate is ready, remove the Oreo balls from the freezer, then carefully dip each cookie ball into the melted chocolate with a fork. Make sure to coat each ball evenly and shake off any excess chocolate before transferring the ball to the parchment paper lined baking sheet.
- Let the dipped balls cool, allowing the chocolate to set for 15 minutes to 1 hour before serving.
Types of Chocolate to Use for Dipping
I use the almond bark chocolate coating and white chocolate coating. They are easy to use, and can be found in the baking aisle at your local grocery store. Color melting candies are also very easy to work with when dipping foods.
Chocolate melting wafers are also very easy to use. Milk chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, can also be used. Sometimes they take a little longer to harden after dipping. If this happens, place them in the refrigerator to firm.
FAQ’s
If you don’t have a food processor, you can place the Oreos in a Ziploc bag and crush with a rolling pin or meat tenderizer. Once the cookies are crushed as fine as you can get them, mix them with the cream cheese in a medium bowl, using the paddle attachment. Then shape the mixture into balls.
Absolutely. I am an Oreo cookie fan. I love the traditional chocolate sandwich cookies, but Mint Oreos make a delicious chocolate mint cookie ball, and red velvet, peanut butter and golden Oreos, all make a simple treat.
If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container and keep them chilled. They should be good for up to 2-3 weeks. You can also freeze them for 1-2 months.
You can make this bite sized chocolate treat into pops by adding a cake pop stick to the truffle after dipping in chocolate. If you want to make a fun cake pop, try making these Heart Shaped Cake Pops.
