Health & Ingredient Benefits

While these are definitely a treat, they’re made with simple, real ingredients and can easily be adjusted to suit your preferences. Oreos provide the chocolate base, cream cheese gives the creamy texture, and white chocolate adds a luxurious finish. You can use low-fat cream cheese for a lighter version or opt for dark chocolate for less sweetness. They’re also naturally egg-free, making them a crowd-friendly dessert.

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Truffles:

• 36 Oreo cookies (regular or double-stuffed)
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened

For the Coating:

• 12 oz white chocolate (chips or candy coating)
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smoother melting)

For Decorating:

• ¼ cup semisweet or dark chocolate (for drizzling)
• Red, green, and white holiday sprinkles

Tools You’ll Need

• Food processor or blender
• Mixing bowl
• Spatula or spoon
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Fork or dipping tool

Optional Substitutions & Additions

• Flavored Oreos: Try peppermint, red velvet, or golden Oreos for fun variations.
• Coating options: Use milk or dark chocolate instead of white.
• Festive twist: Add crushed candy canes on top instead of sprinkles.
• Flavored cream cheese: Try vanilla or chocolate-flavored cream cheese for added richness.
• Add-ins: Stir in a teaspoon of instant espresso or peppermint extract for a unique touch.

How to Make

1. Crush the Oreos: Add cookies (cream and all) to a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. You can also crush them in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin.
2. Mix the filling: Add softened cream cheese to the Oreo crumbs and mix until well combined and a thick, dough-like mixture forms.
3. Shape the truffles: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into smooth balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Chill: Freeze for about 15–20 minutes to firm up before coating.
5. Melt the coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Stir in a little coconut oil for easier dipping if needed.
6. Dip the truffles: Using a fork or dipping tool, coat each truffle completely in the melted chocolate, tapping off any excess. Return to the parchment-lined tray.
7. Decorate: Before the chocolate sets, drizzle with melted dark chocolate and top with holiday sprinkles.
8. Set and serve: Refrigerate until the coating is firm. Keep chilled until serving.

What to Serve With

Serve these truffles alongside coffee, hot cocoa, or eggnog for the ultimate holiday treat. They also pair perfectly with other festive desserts like peppermint bark, fudge, or shortbread cookies. For a beautiful dessert display, arrange them on a holiday platter or gift them in decorative tins for friends and family.

Why They’re Perfect for the Holidays

These truffles are holiday magic in bite-sized form. They look stunning on dessert trays with their glossy white chocolate coating and Christmas-colored sprinkles. They’re easy to make ahead, easy to transport, and loved by kids and adults alike. Plus, they require no oven — perfect for busy December days.

They’re also a fantastic edible gift idea. Just package them in small boxes or bags, tie with a ribbon, and you have a festive homemade present that everyone will adore.

Tips for Success

• Use room-temperature cream cheese for easy mixing.
• Chill the truffles before dipping — this helps the coating set smoothly.
• Melt chocolate slowly to prevent burning or seizing.
• Work in small batches to keep the truffles cold while dipping.
• Add sprinkles right away — the chocolate sets quickly!

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overheating the chocolate: Can cause it to clump or burn. Melt slowly and stir often.
• Skipping the chill: Warm truffles will fall apart in the coating.
• Using cold cream cheese: It won’t blend smoothly with the Oreos.
• Not tapping off excess chocolate: Leads to messy bottoms and uneven coating.

How to Store & Reheat

Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, freeze for up to 2 months — just thaw overnight in the fridge before serving. These truffles are best served chilled or at room temperature for a softer center.
