This is the easiest Oreo balls recipe ever! Just THREE ingredients (crushed oreos, cream cheese and white chocolate) for this easy no-bake treat!
We've been making Oreo balls for over 15 years. In fact, it was the first recipe I ever published. That first year, I made them for Valentine's Day, Easter, Halloween and Christmas! Everyone around me kept asking for the recipe.
Years later, Oreo cookie balls are still a favorite holiday treat, right next to our buckeyes.

How to Make Oreo Cookie Balls
Cream Cheese Mixture

Flavors
The traditional Oreo truffle is made with original Oreo cookies, cream cheese and almond bark. With so many Oreo cookie flavors on the shelves now, you can make just about any variation! A favorite during Christmas is a peppermint Oreo truffle using the candy cane Oreos.
Melted Chocolate
This recipe uses almond bark or a candy coating. You can use melted chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate, white chocolate bark, white chocolate chips, etc. If you add a little coconut oil to the melted chocolate it will harden with a nice shine. I don't typically do this, but it's a preference for some people!
Storage
Store Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Or, freeze them in a resealable bag for up to 3 months.
