Here are some commonly asked questions

What are the different types of Oreo cookie balls?

There are three different types of Oreo cookie balls – snowmen, Christmas Tree, and easier dipping. Each type of Oreo cookie ball has a different decoration – white chocolate for snowmen, white chocolate and decorating gels for Christmas Trees, and cinnamon candy for easier dipping.

Why are Oreo cookie balls important for your party?

• They’re easy to make
• They only require three ingredients
• These are always a hit with guests
• They taste delicious

How can you store Oreo cookie balls?

If you’re looking to keep your Oreo cookie balls fresh, the best way to do so is by storing them in the refrigerator. This will help to keep them from drying out or becoming stale.

You can also freeze them for longer-term storage. Just be sure to use an airtight container so they don’t get freezer burn.

Ingredients for Oreo Balls

• Oreo cookies
• cream cheese – softened
• white candy melts or almond bark

What kind of chocolate is best to use?

We used white chocolate candy melts for this recipe. But you can also use almond bark, Candi Quik, melting wafers, or even high-quality white chocolate. If you use white chocolate chips, you may need to add a tablespoon or two of coconut oil to get it to melt smoothly without seizing up.

Can Oreo Balls be frozen?

Oreo balls can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 2 months. This is a great way to store them if you want to have them on hand for a quick snack or dessert.

You can also freeze them in different shapes and sizes, which can be fun if you are looking for a variety of ways to enjoy them. Oreo balls can also be frozen in different flavors, such as chocolate or peanut butter.

And finally, they can also be frozen in different colors, which can add some visual interest to your Oreo ball experience.

How to Make Oreo Truffles

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. Using a food processor or large resealable bag and a rolling pin, crush the cookies into fine crumbs.
3. Reserve 1-2 tablespoons of the crushed cookies in a small bowl – this will be for topping the coated truffles. Set aside.
4. Add the cream cheese to the food processor with the crumbs and pulse several times until well combined.
5. Using a small cookie dough scoop, separate out into 48 portions and then form each into a ball.
6. Roll the ball between your hands until it’s smooth.
7. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, longer is fine. You can also pop them in the freezer if you have space.

Adding the Chocolate Coating to Oreo Balls

1. Place the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl.
2. Start heating it in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute on 50% power, and stir the chocolate.
3. Continue to heat in 30-second intervals – still at 50% power, stirring after each time. Stop when there are a few bits of chocolate left, then stir until completely melted.
4. Using a fork, dip a chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate and tap off the excess.
5. Place the chocolate-coated truffle on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Sprinkle with the reserved crushed Oreos.
7. Let harden for about 10-15 minutes.
8. Repeat with another layer of melted chocolate if necessary or desired before decorating.
9. Let harden before serving.
10. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Tips for No-Fail Oreo Balls:

• Set out all your dipping supplies set out before you start.
• Make sure the chocolate is melted and stirred until smooth.
• Place the ball on a fork and dip it into the chocolate or use a spoon to coat the ball.

• Tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate and create a smooth finish.
• Use a toothpick to help push the ball onto the parchment paper.
• If there is extra chocolate, draw a line around the base of the ball with the toothpick.

• You can use a double boiler instead of the microwave to make the melted chocolate if you like.
• Make sure you are using a small cookie scoop to keep the size uniform when making this easy treat.
• If you are using something other than a food processor to create the cookie crumbs, you might want to use a stand mixer to then mix in the cream cheese so that it is mixed well throughout the oreo crumbs. Be sure to use the paddle attachment and not the whip. You can also use an electric hand mixer, however, that is a bit messier.

• Be sure to check out my affiliate links towards the bottom of this post to see all my favorite products and tools I use to make this great recipe.
• One standard 14-ounce package of REGULAR Oreo cookies has 38 cookies in it when I last counted. That is the perfect amount for this recipe. If you are using a different flavor of Oreo cookie, sometimes those specialty or limited edition versions will come with more or less than that in the package. Also – double-stuffed cookies come in a different quantity. Be sure to check my notes in the post for using double-stuffed cookies.

• Use room temperature cream cheese – it will make it so much easier to blend it with the cookie crumbs.
• These 3-ingredient oreo balls are one of the easiest desserts and perfect for all those oreo lovers out there.

Make them pretty (optional)

If you want to get really festive with your Oreo balls, you can dip them in white chocolate and add red and green sprinkles, or even crushed candy canes. You could also add holiday candies for a Christmassy touch.

How do you melt chocolate in the microwave?

1. Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl.
2. Make sure to heat on 50% power so that you don’t scorch the chocolate.
3. Microwave in short bursts of 30 seconds or so and stir in between each burst for 10-15 seconds.
4. Melting is still happening after being removed from the microwave, so be careful not to overheat the chocolate.

How many calories are in one Oreo cookie ball?

According to our nutrition calculator in the recipe card, one Oreo cookie ball has 71 calories and 6g net carbohydrates. However, I came up with slightly different results when I entered this into my Carb Manager app. So please do your own calculations if you are watching your macros closely.

Do I really have to chill the insides?

It is imperative that the mixture is chilled for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour & that the finished truffles stay chilled. It is important to keep the cream cheese chilled for food safety.

Can I use another type of Oreo cookie?

Yes -you sure can. These Oreo truffles can be made with any type of Oreo cookie you prefer.

Make-Ahead and Storing

If you want to make Oreo balls ahead of time, the best way to do it is to prepare the filling and then freeze it until you’re ready to use it. This will help keep the balls from drying out.

To store Oreo balls, place them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

How long will Oreo cookie balls keep?

Oreo cookie balls will keep for 3 weeks in the refrigerator or 2 months in the freezer. Oreo cookie balls should always be stored in a covered container.

What are the best sprinkles for these truffles?

This is important – just because the package says “sprinkles” doesn’t necessarily mean that it is in fact sprinkles.

I see a lot of people using colored sanding sugar that is labeled as sprinkles.

This will not work as well because when that sugar gets wet – like when mixed into a moist dough or when placed in the refrigerator, it will sweat & the color will bleed out.

Why didn’t my chocolate wafers melt correctly?

When your chocolate wafers become chunky rather than creamy, it is said that the chocolate is seized.  This is typically due to overheating or contact with water or steam. 

In the first case, the chocolate is just burning from excess heat, but in the second case, there is a negative reaction between the chocolate (which is waxy and has many oils that are hydrophobic, or “water-fearing”) and the water, causing the components of the chocolate to separate. 

Be sure to refer to the package directions when melting chocolate to prevent this from happening.

What’s that 3 pronged fork you use to dip your Oreo Cream Cheese Balls?

If you want to make Oreo balls, you’ll need a few things. First, you’ll need a package of Oreos. Next, you’ll need some cream cheese. And finally, you’ll need a Wilton Dipping tool. (affiliate link to it below)

The Wilton Dipping tool is a handy tool that makes it easy to dip candy or cookie truffles into chocolate. It’s part of a three-piece set that also includes a fork and a spoon. With this set, you can easily dip your Oreo balls into melted chocolate without making a mess.

Once your Oreo balls are dipped in chocolate, you can let them cool on a sheet of wax paper. Then, enjoy!

What chocolate is best for dipping?

Chocolate chips or chocolate candy melts are the best type of chocolate to use for dipping. Shortening or coconut oil can be added to make the chocolate chips easier to dip. A small amount of shortening or coconut oil is best when melting the chocolate chips in the microwave.
