How to make Oreo balls
This easy Oreo balls recipe starts with crushed cookies and cream cheese to create a smooth no-bake truffle mixture.
Crush the Oreos: Place the cookies in a food processor and blend into fine crumbs for the Oreo ball mixture.
Mix the filling: Add the cream cheese and mix until the Oreo crumbs turn into a smooth, sticky dough.
Shape the balls: Scoop and roll into small Oreo balls, then chill them in the fridge or freezer for 15–20 minutes.
Melt the chocolate: Gently melt dark, milk, or white chocolate in a bowl until smooth and fluid.
Coat and decorate: Dip each chilled Oreo ball in melted chocolate, place on parchment paper, and top with crushed Oreos or sprinkles. Let the Oreo balls set before serving.
