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. Ok, I have kind of a different opinion now. Even though my batch only made 30 and only a third of them were keep-able, & did not get more out of them to take to my party, after storing them in the fridge all night, the chocolate dipping on the outside did harden & they were actually good. But overall I’m very disappointed on how they turned out and they were also quite a pain in the butt to make & I’m still unsure if I will be making them again. Don’t know what I could do differently if their is a next time. Except for maybe I’ll try using white almond bark or even white choc chips instead of the milk chocolate

    1. Use the almond bark. It will cover smoothly.
      Also, use the 14 oz bag of Oreos and make sure to crush them as much as you can (I food process). Once mixed and rolled, freeze them for at least 30 minutes so they stay together when dipping in chocolate.

      They work out every time for me! Give it another try and you’ll love them!

    2. Kathy you have a different opinion now lol You should be apologizing for that childish tantrum you just threw.

  2. Hi, I would love to know your secret to making these Oreo balls. I was looking forward into tasting these & taking these to a party. So I attempted the recipe tonight, for the first & unfortunately the last time. They turned out disastrous! I am very upset because I wasted my money & time with these things only for them to turn out horribly! I don’t know why they didn’t turn out right. I followed the recipe exactly, (well I tried at least). Only thing that I used differently was I used chocolate chips instead of almond bark and I used milk chocolate chips not white. Here’s what happened:

    The melted choc chips were lumpy after microwaving, I had to put the balls in the freezer for an hour because they did not harden & they fell apart when I dipped them into the chocolate, and after I took them out of the freezer they still fell apart all in my bowl of melted chocolate chips. I had broken Oreo balls in my melted chocolate! Plus I read on here that 1 batch makes 60 or 70. Not true for me! I only got 30 balls out of the mixture. So by the time I had more than half of the 30 fall apart, I gave up on making the rest and ended up with only 9. So that was not enough to take to my party and I had no time to make anything else and went there empty handed. I was very very disappointed in this experience and will never make them again! Worst cooking attempt ever!! Why am I the only person that had a bad experience!!

      1. I hope you see this comment. If you got far less balls then the recipe stated, it means you made them at least twice as big as the recipe stated. That means you’d have to freeze them at least twice as long, maybe three times as long as the recipe called for. If they weren’t frozen, you needed to keep freezing as it’s a very soft recipe and they must be frozen to dip in chocolate. Second, chocolate chips are very different than the typical candy discs. If you use chocolate chips, you need to add some type of oil to make it smoother.

        1. It amazes me when someone changes a recipe then wonders why it failed. I often * tweek* recipes but try to follow recipe at least the first time so can get a feel for how it is supposed to be, etc . If I do not follow the recipe and it fails, then I know it was my experimention not the recipe.

          Many people love my cooking and i am never afraid to experiment. I may lay in bed and something begins forming in my head and next day make it. Mosr are winners some are dudes! ( sometimes my husband asks “what is this?” I reply “do you like it?” He says yes then I say “I better go write it down then “. With that said there are 2 things my mother made that no matter how many times I have tried, no matter how many times I have rewritten the recipe in case I made an error decades later never have been able to make them.(one is some incredible rolls and the other *blonde brownie* maybe some things are just not in the *cards* for us.

    1. Maybe it was the chocolate chips you used, should have used Almond Bark….I made them last night for the first time and they are perfect and yummy….

      1. Glad they turned out for you. But I used choc chips because it stated that I could substitute the bark for them. And I chose milk choc ones instead of white because my daughter wanted me to use them

    2. Maybe they turned out wrong because you didn’t follow the receipe like it says. How can you comment on something and yet you failed to follow the directions. Try again using the directions and maybe you will have a better outcome.

      1. Ok First of all Buster, since your typing this rather than speaking directly to me, I can’t tell if your being sincere with this comment or if it’s meant as sarcasm. I hope it’s not sarcasm. Because if you READ MY FIRST PARAGRAPH, I stated that I followed the recipe exactly. So if it’s meant as a rude comment, u had no reason to say it that way. U don’t know what I did to this recipe besides what I said I did. So u are in the wrong if u meant to sound hateful. And a few other things, how did they turn out for u Mr smart XXX ~well educated rear end~ ?! Did u attempt to make them yourself? Since u seem to follow directions and I apparently “fail” at doing that as u very non subtlety stated. Also Smart XXX ~Academically minded person with primary focus on that upon which you sit~ , I wrote this for Christy to hopefully respond, not rude jack***es ~The rear end of an animal bread with horses to produce a mule, but that also happens to lack manners~ and perfect strangers like you that had no business commenting in the first frikkin place!! Since u couldn’t say anything positive!! Now go away and rudely comment on someone else’s posts!

        1. You ever have one of those days where you wake up, get to work, and realize an entire “thing” has been unfolding while you were away living life? That is what this thread is like. I apologize for being late here but I tend to take a few days off after Christmas and my husband has been off this week so we’ve been working on the house and such.

          It sounds to me, and this is my best guess because I wasn’t there of course, but from experience I think it’s about right, that your chocolate either got too hot and therefore had some scorched places that caused clumps or it may have gotten a drop of water in it, which causes it to clot. Unfortunately, all chocolate is not uniform and this can easily vary based on brand, age, and even a particular batch of a particular brand.

          From there, I’d suggest really compressing your oreo balls as tightly as you can and making sure they are crushed as finely as possible.

          I’m sorry you were disappointed and that these didn’t work out for you. This is a time of year where we tend to have a lot on us and added stress can sometimes be the straw that broke the camel’s back so I hate that this was a possible straw for you. I understand that you have no plans to make them again but wanted to offer possible solutions to your problems for anyone reading this later on.

          I also edited your comment to remove language, as Southern Plate has children as young as 6 and 7 reading it and I like to keep my work family friendly. I made my edits more lighthearted in nature and hope you will get a chuckle out of them.

          Everyone hang in there. Not to diminish your upset here, but problems will inevitably arise in all areas of our lives. Disappointments will surprise us, but at the end of the day it sure would be wonderful if problems like these were the worst we had to deal with.

          Y’all have a happy new year 🙂
          Gratefully,
          Christy

          1. It made me chuckle lol.
            I’ve made these a few times, and almond bark is easier to use. I make the oreo balls the night before and let them cool over night. Dip the in the melted chocolate in the morning and they turn out great! Thank you Christy!
            Its definitely easier when the balls are cooled down. They do seem to fall apart when they’re warm or when the chocolate is too hot.
            Merry Christmas

          2. Wow, you handled this so kindly. Koodos to you. It’s almost Christmas again!

            My son is overseas with the military and has requested Oreo Balls. So, I’m about to make your recipe for him!

    3. Try using a candy melter. Wal-Mart has one. This is a life saver! Smooth chocolate EVERY time! And…you can put the setting to warm to keep it at just the right consistency. Also, I absolutely HATE Almond Bark! Use Candy Melts in the Wilton aisle or Michael’s, etc. WHITE chocolate! Also, a food processor works best. Gets the cookies super fine! It’s amazing to not see the cream filling once ground! Hope this helps! Try it again & you may be joining us in The Addicted Ones Club!

  3. Good morning! These look wonderful. Not that I need another option, but in Step 2 you have the word either but give no option! Just thought you might want to add an option or remove the word. Microwaving is my choice also.

    Keep those wonderful recipes coming.

  4. Try the flavored oreo’s , mint ones are awesome. So many different seasonal ones! Have made theses for years and they are always on the Christmas list favorites with my family, they ask for them every year.

  5. We had three baby showers and 2 bridal showers this summer (5 different young ladies), I thought I was sick of Oreo balls, but, my mouth started watering as soon as I saw your recipe! We must of made thousands of these. The red velvet Oreo balls too. Tomorrow I’ll be headed to the grocery to by Oreos and it’s all your fault Christy, LOL
