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. Woo Hoo!!! PERFECT timing!!! I had these for the first time at a party a few nights ago and knew I had to find this recipe. Well, I hadn’t had a chance to look yet and much to my delight I opened my email and there it was!!! Thank you Christy!!!! Ohmyword – who knew they were so easy!?!?!?!? Headed to Wally this evening with 3 more ingredients added to this list!!
    Yall have a great weekend!!

  2. So glad you posted the picture of the finished product. I made some earlier this week and was a little stressed that you could see where I had used the toothpick to dip them. I really wanted them to look perfect. They sure taste great. I made some Red Velvet too but haven’t coated them yet. They have been in the freezer. Will get to that this weekend. Merry Christmas!

    1. I usually place them on a wire rack or use parchment paper & let them sit up, for a few minutes, and remove the toothpick just before they become firm, you can usually remove the toothpick and smooth the spot over with your finger if they are not too firm at that point. .I am sure you agree that despite the little hole they are still really great. Merry CHRISTmas.

      1. Place the cookie sheet with the un-dipped balls on it in the freezer. Dip them frozen and the toothpick comes out easy. Just smooth the little hole with the tip of a toothpick.

  3. Well I’m definitely going to have to make these! My other half Is an Oreo addict and will absolutely love these! Hopefully, I can keep myself from eating too many of them as I make them. lol They look sooooo good and I know It’s going to be hard to do!

    Thanks Christy and Jyl for a great recipe! =)

  4. My Mama makes these every year for Christmas and you would swear they had little legs cause they disappear so fast! Everybody loves them

  5. Question: How long could they stay in refrigerator? I am planning on making these for a church function and wanted to do ahead but if we get snow and it’s moved to another date how long will they last (if I don’t eat them!!! 🙂 ?

  6. Another blog has these covered with chocolate instead of white almond bark… I think I will try both! I bet they’ll both be luscious!

  7. One way I have learned to do the melted chocolate for coating candies is to use either an electric griddle or the base of one of those rectangle crockpots that lift off of it. I just put my pot on it and let melt away….chocolate stays nice the whole time I’m coating. I can regulate the heat if I need to also this way. No hot stoves or water to worry about! 🙂
