Oreo Truffle Balls
When the holiday season rolls around, my family has a list of “must make/bake goodies”, and these Oreo truffle balls top the list! They are super easy to make, and can be decked out with your choice of holiday sprinkles. I always keep a couple batches in the freezer for that last minute get together, or to surprise the kids for after school snack.

Ingredients:
- 18 oz package Oreo cookies, crushed
- 8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
- 24 oz white almond bark
- Colored sprinkles if desired
Directions:
In a large bowl, mix crushed Oreo cookies and cream cheese. Form into tablespoon size balls, placing on a wax paper lined cookie sheet. Flash freeze oreo balls for 1-2 hours. Meanwhile, melt almond bark in glass bowl, one minute at a time, stirring in between. Remove truffle balls from freezer and dip into almond bark, placing on wax paper to dry. If you desire a festive look, make sure to put sprinkles on right after dipping, or the almond bark will harden and the sprinkles won’t stick.
Freezing Directions:
Place in gallon freezer bag for up to 3 months. To Serve – remove desired about from freezer and let stand on counter for 1 hour before eating.
Servings: 36-48 Truffle Balls

These are the lo-cal ones right?? ;>)
can you use something other than almond bark? my brother-in-law can’t have anything nut related.
You could use melted chocolate chips as well.
It does NOT contain nut products
It’s called almond bark. Like bark of a tree. So it’s used to be the bark of something. Anything.
You just get to choose what goes inside of it.
Just thought I’d share so your BIL didn’t miss out on something that didn’t really contain nuts.
Oooh, Yumm! Where does one find white almond bark??? I have never heard of such a thing!
I’ve seen the white almond bark at WalMart, in the cake mix section, next to chocolate chips.
I love making these! Only difference is that I use the regular chocolate almond bark. :)
This one needs a “show us your balls” button with it (rofl)
:)
I have made these before (DH requested) and heard they are really good. I didn’t let myself eat one though lol maybe next time.
Oh we are definitely going to try these! I just got a huge box of oreos at Costco so we are set! Thanks so much for sharing!
Will these get “gooey” if I put them in a tin with other homemade cookies…which I like to give as gifts for the holidays?
Debbie – I (Lisa) haven’t had any problems with them getting gooey. If you are concerned, you could put them in a small plastic baggie.
yummy…my little girl will surely love this. Great idea! Thanks for sharing.
Super Social WAHM
These are amazing. Thanks for sharing. I made them last night for my Christmas party. I couldn’t find almond bark so I used white chocolate instead and they are still good. :)
[...] oreo truffle balls were unfortunately VERY GOOD [...]
Nice post. I was checking continuously this blog and I’m inspired! Extremely useful info specially the ultimate section :) I maintain such info a lot. I used to be seeking this particular info for a long time. Thanks and good luck.
Do these need to be refrigerated since they have cream cheese?
Jessica – yes – they need to be stored in the fridge or freezer.
Would melted peppermint bark work? Or is that just flavor overload ;-)
Maggie – I think that the peppermint bark would be a delicious flavor combination for the Oreo Truffle Balls!
I might have to try a variety… looks delicious!!
very festive & delicious looking; must try this soon. my problem is if I can get the ingredients in Phil supermarket!
Last year I used Peanut Butter filled Oreos, with milk chocolate bark and they were a huge hit!
Oh wow that sounds amazing!!
I make these with bittersweet chocolate as the outer and they are delicious that way too. You can also use mint oreos….
What is your tip for the chocolate covering looking uniform. I tried this and mine look awful or start to fall apart in the white chocolate. THANKS,
You can use a little bit of household parifin wax melted in with the chocolate tidbits or blocks.(Gulfwax). It’s the kind you use for canning. It will make the chocolate/white chocolate very smooth when dipping the oreo truffles. I use white chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate for mine. I like the idea of the peppermint bark. I’ll try that next year.
What is your tip for the chocolate covering looking uniform and smooth. I tried this and mine look awful or start to fall apart and leave oreo in the white chocolate. Thank you,
Susanne – I have never experienced trouble with chocolate not covering smoothly. To ensure the best possible looking Oreo Truffle Ball – make sure you flash freeze them before dipping – this helps them not to fall apart when dipped in the chocolate. Also – make sure you aren’t overcooking your chocolate when warming it up – that can cause it to curdle a bit and not adhere to the oreo truffle ball correctly. Hope this helps!
I think I had the chocolate too warm since the balls had been in the freezer prior to covering. I melted the chocolate in the microwave and tried again with the frozen balls and they look much better. Thank you.
Two festive variations:
Use Mint Oreos instead of regular ones.
Or
Add peppermint extract to the Almond bark.
Was on a cruise last year celebrating and didn’t see this. These are so amazing and making them a few months ahead is a great idea. Giving plenty of time to make different variations for the whole Christmas season.
I have made these using the other flavors of oreos. Used the mint oreos with semi-sweet chocolate, the peanut butter ones with milk chocolate, and the berry burst oreos with white chocolate. Delicious.
