How to Make Oreo Cookie Balls

Bag of crushed Oreo cookies.

Crush up your Oreo cookies very fine, filling and all.

I know it doesn’t look like I crushed up the filling in here but I promise I did.

Sometimes I use a food processor for this step but if you don’t have one you will need to put your cookies in a sealable bag and hammer the heck out of them to make Oreo crumbs.

Cookie and cream cheese mixture.

You will then add your softened cream cheese to the crushed cookie crumbs.

I use my hands to mush it all together until you have a dough but you can use an electric mixer if you like.

Oreo balls ready for coating.

Once you have it mixed really well shape a spoonful into bite-sized balls.

Once you have the balls made, place your almond bark (or white chocolate chips) in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Take care not to let even the smallest drop of water get into your coating because it will cause it to seize up and won’t be good for much of anything.

Oreo Cookie Balls

Dip each Oreo ball into the melted almond bark until it is totally coated. I use a toothpick to dunk mine and pull them out and let any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl. Once you have each Oreo cookie ball dipped and they have completely set you will want to store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Mmmm, these don’t last long at all at my house so I have to make a TON! But one batch will make about 60-70 balls.

Storage

  • Store your Oreo cookie balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
  • You can also store an Oreo truffle batch in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge before enjoying.

Recipe Notes

  • Despite the name, almond bark has no nuts in it and can be found near the chocolate chips. In a pinch, white chocolate chips may be substituted but the best bet is to buy cheaper milk or dark chocolate chips because they make a better melted chocolate coating for Oreo truffles and balls like this.
  • After you dip the balls in the almond bark, you can add a drizzle of milk chocolate on top or dip them in extra cookie crumbs or some sprinkles.
  • For Christmas Oreo balls, add some crushed peppermint candy cane pieces to your mixture, cover them with almond bark, and then dip them into some red and green sprinkles to make festive peppermint Oreo balls.
  • You can also use different Oreo flavors if you prefer, like peppermint or golden Oreos.

  1. The first year I made these I thought I’d let them harden on a wire rack. Big mistake as the dough was too soft so they sunk down over the wires! Learned then to refrigerate a while before coating in the bark! They still got used as I cut around the wires to loosen them, maybe shaved them a bit (don’t remember now) and recoated as necessary. No wire rack for the second round of coatings though! People loved them!

    Wonder if Nutter Butter’s as the cookie and all then coated in the chocolate would be good?!

  2. Made these for Christmas. Everyone loved them. Wanted to make the turtles too but couldn’t find the square pretzels anywhere in the state of Arkansas! I also made your fudge, your pecan pie, your coconut cake and your cherry cream cheese pie, your sweet and sour green beans and your ham. Guess you could say we had a Christy Christmas, lol. Everything was wonderful! Thank you. By the way I love your cookbook that I bought myself for Christmas!

  3. Oh, this is funny! I did the exact same thing for Christmas treats this year, and didn’t have nearly as good of an outcome. Don’t get me wrong, tasted great but looked horrible. I just haven’t quite mastered them yet, I guess. My Mom has your book, and I have glanced through it (haven’t had time to read it yet, sadly). But, I am looking forward to it! Ashamed to say, I had never heard of the Southern Plate until I had been doing my own blog for a couple weeks, and my Mom mentioned it to me. She said we were doing about the same things…yours on a much better and grander scale of course. But, I’m headed that direction, hopefully. Ironically, I am called The Onyx Plate. The post about the Oreo Truffles is called “Truffles: My Nemesis”. If you just happen to have time, and want to read it, you can find it at http://www.theonyxplate.com. Thanks for all you do for inspiring others and myself! I can’t wait to read the book (if I can pry it away from my wonderful Mom)!

  4. I loved these cookie balls soooo much. I also tried using graham crackers in place of the oreo, and added a little bit of peanut butter, and some powdered sugar for added sweetness, then the cream cheese. Yummy!

  5. We have been making these for a couple of years and everyone loves them. We like to call them Reindeer Droppings. 🙂

  6. I told myself that I was done with sweets for a while…that was until I saw this recipe…I just made a batch of these oreo cookie balls. What can I say? They were a little bite of heaven. How can you possibly go wrong with oreo cookies, cream cheese, and white chocolate???
