A Sweet Bite of History

Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

30 (340g) regular Oreo cookies
3 tablespoons (45g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2–5 tablespoons whole milk
8 ounces (225g) dark, semi-sweet, or white chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon vegetable oil (optional)

Optional Add-ins:

Flaky sea salt for garnish
Crushed Oreo crumbs for topping
Sprinkles or colored chocolate drizzle for festive flair

Step-by-Step Instructions

Crush the Oreos
Place 30 Oreo cookies in a food processor (yes, filling included). Pulse until finely ground.
Tip: If you don’t have a processor, a plastic bag and rolling pin work just fine.

Add Moisture
Add the melted butter and 2 tablespoons of milk to the crumbs. Pulse until the mixture holds together. Add more milk a tablespoon at a time if needed.

Form the Balls
Scoop out 1 tablespoon of mixture and roll into smooth balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
Tip: If too sticky, chill for 10 minutes before rolling.

Freeze Before Dipping
Freeze the Oreo balls for at least 15 minutes to set their shape.

Melt the Chocolate
Melt chocolate in the microwave in 10-second bursts or on the stove with a double boiler. Stir in oil if using—it helps with smoother coating.

Dip and Decorate
Dip each ball in melted chocolate. Use a fork to lift and gently tap to remove excess. Place back on parchment paper and add crushed Oreos or salt while wet.
Pro Tip: Try a drizzle of white chocolate like in these cake pops for a fancy finish.

Set and Chill
Chill in the fridge or freezer until the chocolate coating is fully set. Store your Oreo truffles in the fridge until ready to serve.

Pro Tips for Success

Freeze before dipping or your Oreo cream cheese balls will fall apart
Don’t overheat the chocolate—it can burn or melt the balls
Use a fork or dipping tool for smoother, cleaner truffles
Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks

Delicious Variations

1. Peppermint Oreo Balls
Add crushed peppermint candies to the mix and use white chocolate coating.

2. Peanut Butter Oreo Truffles
Mix in 2 tablespoons of peanut butter with the crumbs for a Reese’s-style twist.

3. Golden Oreo Balls
