Good morning my friend! It really is a good morning for me, as I am on vacation with my family in the beautiful Dominican Republic.
It’s been glorious so far. The weather is warm and breezy and the sun is shining. We are getting lots of relaxation in, and it feels wonderful.
Before I left, I whipped up a quick batch of these Oreo Balls so that I could still have something to share with you, even though I’m away.
I chose this recipe because it is so quick and easy, and you only need 3 simple ingredients to make it! Also I feel like this site is a little light on candy recipe options (although I do have a great marshmallow recipe, an excellent how-to on making chocolate bark, and the most insanely good homemade moose munch recipe!)
But if you know someone who is a fan of cookies and cream, you have to make them these Oreo truffles! My oldest son LOVES them. They’re a perfect balance of deep, dark chocolate and creamy white chocolate, with a snappy candy coating and a soft, luscious filling.

Ingredients
- 36 OREO cookies (1 package)
- 8 ounces baking chocolate (I prefer melting wafers)
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then crush the oreos (with filling) in a blender or food processor.
- Mix together the oreo crumbs and cream cheese with a hand mixer. If it isn't coming together, get your hands in there and mix it up.
- Use a small cookie scoop to scoop out the dough. Then roll into a ball with your hands and place onto the pan.
- Freeze for 10-15 minutes or until slightly firm. You don't want them too cold.
- Melt the chocolate and stir until smooth. Then use a fork to dip the oreo balls into the chocolate. Tap on the edge of the bowl to get the smooth finish. Use a toothpick to help slide the ball onto the pan. Allow to harden.
- Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
