These Christmas Oreo Balls are a simple holiday dessert that's made with a 2-ingredient filling, melted chocolate, and fun, tasty toppings! Prepping two dozen of these delicious truffles takes just 45 minutes!

Ingredients

▢ 20 ounces Oreos any flavor, reserve 2-4 Oreos for toppings
▢ 8 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature, cubed
▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
▢ 8 ounces white chocolate melted
▢ 8 ounces semisweet or milk chocolate melted

Toppings

▢ sprinkles
▢ crushed candy canes
▢ crushed oreos
▢ red and green candy melts

Instructions

Add the oreos to a food processor and pulse until they turn into crumbs.
20 ounces Oreos
Add in the cubed cream cheese and vanilla extract and process until fully incorporated.
8 ounces cream cheese, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Place the Oreo mixture in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Portion the chilled mixture using a small or medium cookie scoop, then use your hands to roll them into smooth balls. Place them on a wax or parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Freeze the Oreo balls for an additional 15 to 30 minutes. The longer they are frozen, the easier it will be to dip in the chocolate - but you don't want to freeze them too long or condensation as they come back to room temperature could prevent the chocolate from sticking well.
Melt both types of chocolate in separate bowls in the microwave at 30-second increments until fully melted. Prep all decorations.
8 ounces white chocolate, 8 ounces semisweet or milk chocolate
Use a fork to submerge each truffle into the melted chocolate of your choice. Let excess chocolate drip off before transferring to parchment paper. Add any sprinkles or extra Oreo crumbs right away, or let set if you want to drizzle more melted chocolate or candy melts on top.
sprinkles, crushed candy canes, crushed oreos, red and green candy melts
Let set for a few minutes in the fridge before enjoying, or packaging up into gift boxes.

Notes

What’s The Best Way To Store These Christmas Oreo Balls? Since this dessert is made with cream cheese, it should only be kept at room temperature for a few hours. Therefore, they’ll need to be stored in the refrigerator. Place the Christmas Oreo Balls in an airtight container and then pop them in the refrigerator. Enjoy them for up to two weeks!
Can These Be Made Ahead Of Time? Yes, these can be made ahead of time! Making it so much easier to prep your holiday desserts without the rush! These can be made ahead of time and then stored in the freezer for up to 3 months! To freeze, place the finished truffles on a baking sheet and place it in the freezer. Afterward, remove the frozen truffles and place them in a Ziploc bag and squeeze the excess air out. Freezing them before placing them in the Ziploc bag prevents them from freezing together in one big ball!
How Can I Make These Oreo Truffles Dairy-Free? The Oreos are already dairy free. Therefore, you’ll just need to grab a dairy-free cream cheese alternative and dairy-free chocolate.
What Can I Use To Drizzle The Melted Chocolate If I Don’t Have A Piping Bag? Instead of a piping bag, you can simply use a Ziploc bag with a corner snipped off!
