How to Make It

Prepare these delicious Oreo balls with just a few simple steps.

Prepare the Baking Sheet

Line a medium-sized baking sheet or cutting board with parchment paper and set aside.

Process the Oreos

In the bowl of a large food processor, add in the Oreos (WITH the filling). Grind until the Oreos become very fine and crumbly.

Combine Ingredients

Add your melted butter and 2 tablespoons of milk to the Oreo crumbs. Pulse the mixture until it’s well moistened and sticks together without crumbling. If needed, pulse in more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture comes together.

Form the Balls

Scoop out 1 tablespoon-sized portions and roll between your hands into a smooth ball. Arrange on your parchment-lined baking sheet. If the mixture is too crumbly to roll, blend in some more milk and try again.

Chill the Mixture

Place the Oreo balls in the freezer to chill for at least 15 minutes or until solid before dipping in chocolate.

Melt the Chocolate

Melt chocolate in your microwave or on the stove over a double boiler. If using a microwave, heat the chopped chocolate in 10-second bursts, stirring after each one, until melted and smooth.

Coat the Oreo Balls

Drop one Oreo ball into the melted chocolate and quickly toss to coat. Use a fork or chocolate-dipping utensil to lift the ball up and gently shake over the bowl to allow the excess chocolate to drip off.

Finish the Coating

Place the chocolate-dipped Oreo ball back onto your parchment-lined baking sheet. Leave the truffles plain or top with flaky sea salt or crushed Oreo crumbs while the chocolate is still wet. Repeat with the remaining truffles.

Chill Again

Chill the Oreo balls in the fridge or freezer until the outside chocolate layer is set. Keep stored in the fridge until ready to serve!

How to Store It

Fridge: up to 5 days in an airtight container.
Freezer: yes, for longer storage if needed.
Reheat: no reheating required, serve chilled.

Tips for Best Results

• Ensure the chocolate is slightly cooled to avoid melting the Oreo balls.
• Use a fork to maneuver the balls, ensuring an even chocolate coating.
• Customize toppings like sprinkles for festive occasions.
• Chill the Oreo balls longer if the mixture feels soft before dipping.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve as dessert at parties or gatherings.
• Pair with a glass of cold milk for a classic combo.
• Use for gift-giving in decorative jars.
