    These Oreo Truffles are rich, creamy, no-bake treats made with crushed Oreo cookies and cream cheese, then dipped in smooth dark or white chocolate. Each bite has a soft, fudgy Oreo center surrounded by a delicious chocolate shell. I love using both white and dark chocolate because they look so pretty together, especially with a little chocolate drizzle or extra Oreo crumbs on top! They're perfect for holiday cookie trays, parties, homemade gifts, or keeping in the fridge when you need a little chocolate fix.

    Oreos, cream cheese, and REAL chocolate. These little bites of chocolate heaven are dangerously easy to love!


    I've always loved Oreos, so turning them into little chocolate-covered truffles was a no-brainer! When developing this recipe, I tried using candy melts, but the flavor just doesn't compare to real chocolate. I've also made these with and without coconut oil, and found that adding a little oil makes the chocolate easier to dip into and helps create a shell that sets nicely. If you're an Oreo lover like me, you'll also love my Oreo Brownies or No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake.

    Let's Talk Oreos, Cream Cheese & Chocolate

    • Regular Oreo Cookies: I prefer regular Oreos over Double Stuff because I don't want the filling to be overly soft or creamy. The regular cookies provide a better balance of chocolate cookie crumbs and filling.
    • Cream Cheese: This binds the crushed Oreos together and gives the centers their creamy, truffle-like texture. Use softened cream cheese so it mixes evenly with the cookie crumbs.
    • Real Chocolate: I've tried making Oreo truffles with candy melts, and the flavor just doesn't compare. I highly recommend using good-quality real chocolate for the best-tasting coating.
    • Coconut Oil: I've made these with and without coconut oil, and find that adding a little makes the melted chocolate easier to work with when dipping. It also helps me achieve a chocolate shell that sets nicely.

    A Few Things to Know Before Dipping

    • Chill before dipping. I find that Oreo balls that haven't been chilled don't dip nearly as well. Freezing them for 20 minutes also helps the chocolate coating set quickly.
    • Work in small batches. I like dipping about five truffles at a time, then adding the reserved Oreo crumbs before the chocolate sets. It's much easier to manage than dipping every truffle before decorating.
    • Melt the chocolate slowly. Whether you're using the microwave or a double boiler, take your time. Chocolate can burn easily, so I prefer short bursts in the microwave and plenty of stirring.

    These Oreo Truffles are rich, creamy, no-bake treats made with crushed Oreo cookies and cream cheese, then dipped in smooth dark or white chocolate. Each bite has a soft, fudgy Oreo center surrounded by a delicious chocolate shell. I love using both white and dark chocolate because they look so pretty together, especially with a little chocolate drizzle or extra Oreo crumbs on top! They're perfect for holiday cookie trays, parties, homemade gifts, or keeping in the fridge when you need a little chocolate fix.

    • Total Time: 40 Minutes
    • Yield: 35-40 Truffles 1x

    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • 40 Oreos
    • 8oz Cream Cheese, at room temperature
    • 170 grams (1 Cup) Good Quality Dark or Semi- Sweet Chocolate 
    • 170 grams (1 Cup) Good Quality White Chocolate 
    • 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil, divided

    Instructions

    1. Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper, wax paper, or a silicone liner.
    2. Place the Oreo's in a food processor and crush them to a fine crumb. Set aside ¼ cup of the crumbs.
    3. Add the cream cheese to the Oreos and pulse until fully combined.
    4. Using two spoons or a one tablespoon cookie scoop, to scoop the balls. Place the Oreo truffles on the prepared pan making sure they are not touching.
    5. Place the pan in the freezer for 20 minutes to harden.
    6. Melt the chocolate adding ½ tablespoon to each bowl of chocolate. You can melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in 15 second increments, stirring between, stop microwaving before the chocolate is fully melted. Keep stirring and the residual heat will help the remanning chocolate. Alternatively you can create a make shift double broiler/ Bain Marie to melt the chocolate and oil. Place a small pot with a little bit of water over low heat and add a heatproof bowl that can sit on top of the pot without touching the water. Add the chocolate and coconut oil to the bowl and let the steam of the hot water melt the chocolate slowly. Whatever you do, just don't rush melting the chocolate as chocolate burns easily.
    7. Using a fork or melting stick dip the hardened Oreo balls into the melted chocolate. Make sure to tap off excess chocolate then place back on wax paper. I did about five at a time, then I would sprinkle the leftover Oreo crumbs on top then move on to more dipping. Drizzle any remaining chocolate on top for designs, I like to drizzle white on top of dark chocolate! Let set. Then store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
