Patriotic Oreo Balls
No-bake red, white, and blue Oreo truffles made from crushed sandwich cookies and cream cheese, dipped in white chocolate and decorated with red and blue coatings and sprinkles.
Ingredients
Main
- 36 regular chocolate sandwich cookies Oreos or store brand
- 8 oz cream cheese , softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract optional
- Pinch of salt optional
Coating & Decoration
- 12 oz white chocolate or white candy melts, melted
- 2 oz red candy melts or red-colored white chocolate, melted
- 2 oz blue candy melts or blue-colored white chocolate, melted
- Assorted red white & blue sprinkles
Instructions
- Crush the cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a zip-top bag and rolling pin. Mix the crumbs with softened cream cheese (and vanilla/salt if using) until combined into a dough.
- Scoop and roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or freeze 10–15 minutes) until firm.
- Melt white chocolate in short bursts in the microwave or over a double boiler until smooth. Melt red and blue candy melts in separate bowls. If white chocolate is too thick, stir in a teaspoon of neutral oil.
- Dip chilled balls into the white chocolate, tapping off excess. Place back on parchment and decorate with sprinkles or drizzle with red and blue melts while coating is wet. Allow to set at room temperature or refrigerate briefly.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
Notes
- If white chocolate seizes, try adding a teaspoon of vegetable oil and stir — if it remains grainy, start fresh.
- Work with a few balls at a time to keep centers chilled and prevent melting during dipping.
- Use candy melts for brighter colors and easier piping; oil-based food color is needed to tint white chocolate.
