Every Christmas, my good friend Amy and I get together to make one of our favorite chocolatey treats, Oreo Truffle Balls. Have you ever had them before?
They are essentially the easiest recipe I’ve ever made – all it takes is some crushed up Oreos, a block of cream cheese, and dipping chocolate to coat them. I like to throw them on a dessert plate with other goodies at Christmas time. They are ALWAYS the first treat to go! But with Christmas at the other end of the year and Santa no where in sight, I am left truffle-hungry. Until today. I think I found my new drug favorite no-bake treat: GOLDEN Oreo Truffles.
Golden Oreos are my favorite kind. Many may not agree, but I prefer them over their chocolate cousin. Golden Oreos are the same Oreos I used for my Golden Oreo Cake Batter Blondies. They are the epitome of vanilla yumminess. I like to smear peanut butter all over them while I’m curled up on the couch reading gossip magazines – now that’s pure happiness right there.
What I love most about Oreo Truffles that the ingredient list is SO short. Three ingredients! That’s it.
These no-bake, no-fuss, EASY truffles will be your new favorite way to consume calories, I can guarantee. And no need to waste your money on groumet truffles, because these babies will honestly WOW any crowd. Perfect for a quick dessert to bring to any party, potluck, or to make as a yummy treat for yourself. 
Oh, and since I add sprinkles to EVERYTHING these days, I knew today’s truffles would not be complete without a heavy dose of those colorful little buggers. Sprinkles make life better.

For these no bake truffles, pulverized Golden Oreos are combined with cream cheese and formed into balls before being dipped in white chocolate and topped with sprinkles. Makes 48 1-inch truffle balls. Store truffles in the refrigerator, covered - up to 10 days.
Ingredients
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 package Golden Oreos, finely crushed (about 4.5 cups)
- 2 Ghirardelli White Chocolate Baking Bars (8 oz total)
- sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
- Chop up Oreos finely in a food processor or blender. Mix the crumbs together with the cream cheese until well combined.
- Shape into 48 (1-inch) balls and place onto prepared baking sheet. Freeze for about 30 minutes. (FREEZING the balls is the most important step of this recipe. If they are not mostly frozen, the chocolate will not coat the balls properly.)
- Chop up and melt the white chocolate bars according to the package directions. Dip the balls into chocolate and immediately top with sprinkles. Place back onto prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes so the chocolate sets.

They look insanely good. And no bake. Sprinkles. And Golden Oreos (love!) Now you just have to add some cake batter to make it a true Sally special

Haha a sally special.. that’s very true. Thanks Averie!
I haven’t had any golden oreo’s yet. Love the looks of these!!

Too funny! My friend Amy introduced me to golden oreo truffles. She calls them orgasm balls…. They are awesome! I am always shocked when I love something not chocolate, but these really are SO good. Gotta love an easy no bake recipe too
And, duh, the sprinkles make them super pretty and very Sally-esque!

Orgasm balls! lol that’s hysterical. I like these truffles better than the ones with regular oreos!
Ive been planning for weeks to try the normal oreo truffles and these have convinced me that is what my next baking project will be! If i could get my hands on some golden oreos easily here in the UK I might well have tried them instead after your drool-worthy write up
Hi Sasha! I hope you make them… even the ones with the regular Oreos are amazing!
I absolutely love golden Oreos. Totally my fav. These truffles rock.
Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust recently posted..Whatever Friday
wow these look insane and dangerous. i would be popping these in my mouth constantly! i love the bright colors on this! sprinkles are so fun
Julie @ Table for Two recently posted..Stuffed Peppers
Can you believe I haven’t had an oreo of any kind in about 6 years? Yep. It’s true. I gave up a lot of packaged junk food and fast food because I wasn’t feeling well and that’s pretty much all I ate. But I do LOVE them! And if you put one (or five) in front of me now I would make them disappear in the blink of an eye.

No I can’t believe that! I couldn’t live without Golden Oreos Reeni! Such strong willpower you have
Omg this is genius! Those Christmas oreo balls are my favorite but these look even better. Thanks!

Thank you Julie! I actually like these golden oreo truffles better than the original
Um, these are BEAUTIFUL!! Love the simplicity of crushing up some fab golden oreos and mixing them into beautiful, delicious truffles. Also, it bears repeating: you’re my fave since you clearly love non-pareils as much as I do. Sigh, we were meant to be
Hayley recently posted..The Friday Roundup
Golden Oreos are the bomb diggety!!! And in a truffle Sally-ized with sprinkles? Way too awesome!
Jocelyn @BruCrew Life recently posted..Orange Glazed Muffins – Six Sister’s Stuff
OMG!
I had the chocolate ones at Christmas time, for the very first time!
And they were to die for, esp. since they were dipped in dark chocolate, my absolute favorite!
I ate 12 in one day…
I kept saying, just one more, just one more… LOL
I’ll have to try these too…
Thanks for sharing!
Confession: I have never had a Golden Oreo!
Since I’m a self-proclaimed Oreo lover, I need to get on that! Oreo truffles are the bomb!
Erika – The Teenage Taste recently posted..Oreo Sweet Rolls
These look really delicious and easy. What a fun dessert to add to a birthday table. And they even use one of my favorite treats – Oreos!
Natalie @ Confetti Diaries recently posted..Day Stroll: Amy Atlas Book Tour in Annapolis
thanks Natalie! They would be perfect for a birthday dessert – or any holiday using different colored sprinkles! I love Oreos too.
These look delicious! We are not fans of white chocolate, do you think they would be as good dipped in chocolate? Has anyone tried it this way?
Regular chocolate would be just as yummy! I have never tried it that way. I have used regular oreos in this recipe dipped in regular chocolate, but never golden oreos.
I have made these before and they are fabulous! I added lemon zest to mine, try it – it’s amazing! (http://blog.candiquik.com/?p=2104)
Sarah @ Miss CandiQuik recently posted..7-Layers of Heaven…Bars (Gluten Free)
Sarah! You are a genius – I would have NEVER thought to add lemon zest. Will do that next time for sure. Thank you!
These I will try! I haven’t had too much luck with cake balls but these truffles look amazingly tasty and I just got hooked on those golden oreos. Thanks for sharing at Creative Thursday
So, I love these too! I make these with a twist too! I add 1 tsp of almond extract and some coconut to the cookies and cream cheese, to make a macaroon type truffle, then top the chocolate with a little extra toasted coconut! They’re amazing. And try some mint extract in the chocolate oreo version, for a scrumptious mint truffle!
Joanne, that sounds INCREDIBLE! U must remake those… macaroon truffles. They sound too good to be true. I might make them very soon
Thanks Joanne!
Going to make these using the limited edition Creamsicle Oreos I found today. What says summer better than Creamsicle? Thanks for your awesome recipes!
Jayne- that sounds incredible! I have never seen those oreos before, but I’m VERY intrigued. They sound great! And yes, very summery!
I saw your recipe for these in your no-bake post; it looked so fun and easy, I had to make them! They were amazing! I think I made the balls too big, because I ran out of the baking bars; I used some melted white chocolate chips when my bars ran out, and I also used a little half-and-half to make the chocolate easier to dip and spread. So delicious! I brought them to a party this weekend, and my friend ate one (without knowing I’d made them) and said, “This is probably the worst thing I’ve ever eaten!” His father-in-law, standing nearby, said, “Oh, really, it doesn’t taste good?” My friend responded, “No, it’s delicious–I just think I’ll probably have a heart attack if I have another one!” But, I used light cream cheese, so hopefully they don’t induce too many coronaries! Thanks for sharing!
Alexis recently posted..Book Review: Below Stairs
Haha I love it Alexis! So glad you and the party goer’s loved them. The reduced fat CC makes them a tad lighter on the hips… I should’ve tried that
Is it bad that I like golden oreos better than the regular ones?
Elizabeth recently posted..Molly Moon’s Salted Caramel Ice Cream
Not bad at all.. I prefer the Golden ones over chocolate Oreos, too!
I just have to say how well these guys hold up! I made a batch about three weeks ago, and have stored them in the fridge; I have a couple left, and ate one yesterday–still delicious! These are a great item if you want them to last, but they are so delicious, they probably won’t stick around for too long unless you create a secret stash in the fridge!
Alexis recently posted..Book Review: Below Stairs
Alexis – you have will power for letting them last that long in your fridge!! Good to know they can stay good for so long. I’m so glad you enjoyed them. They are undoubtedly one of my favorite no-bake EASY recipes!
Is there any substitutes for the cream cheese? ‘Cause unfortunately, it’s kinda hard to get my hands on some.
But that isn’t going to stop me from trying to make these truffles! They look so lip-smackingly delicious, I got hungry before I even scrolled to the bottom of this page! 
)
Hi Lorraine! Cream cheese is readily available in all grocery stores and convenience stores, I hope you’re able to get some! Unforunately, there is no substitute in this truffle recipe for it. I’m glad you think they look good!
Aww. Alright
Thanks! Can’t wait to try them 
I’m making these right now with the Halloween Oreos and regular chocolate instead of white. I was wondering if this would work with peanutbutter cookies? Or does it need the Oreo filling? Because I would love a peanutbutter cookie based recipe like this.
Hi BRittany! I love your idea for using Nutter Butters instead! Those are the only PB cookies I would suggest using. I am now pondering the thought os a new peanut butter truffle recupe
Thanks Brittany!
I think I might give that a try tomorrow! My Oreo truffles are already almost gone. Thanks!!
Brittany recently posted..Just my new favourite recipe blog replying to me<3 (Taken…
Think about making these for a Christmas party, but instead of the colored sprinkles, I would use the colored sugars to make them look like little ball ornaments!
Hi Kim! I love love love that idea! So creative. Maybe stick lollipop sticks in them too!
I just saw that Walmart has gingerbread Oreos this season (through Christmas?)…I think they would be wonderful in this recipe!
I saw gingerbread oreos at the store too! I didn’t buy any but now that you mention using them for THIS recipe – I can’t stop thinking about it!!!
Hi Sally!
I’ve tried this recipe twice now, and while they both went over well enough, I can’t seem to get to the dipping part without making a mess. I melted my Baker’s white chocolate by the double boiling method, with a smaller pot in a bigger pot of water, but had a short period of time to work with before the white chocolate began to solidify. I used a pair of tongs for the dipping, but that more or less left marks/dents on the balls. Do you have any suggestions on the heat level for melting, or the utensils you used for dipping so that the coating is pretty and not chunky?
Thank you so much!
Kelsey
Hi Kelsey! As the chocolate hardens when you are dipping, try zapping it in the microwave for 10 seconds or so to get it back to a smooth and melted consistency. As I was dipping, I had to reheat the rest of the white chocolate one or two times since it hardened as I worked dipping them. I actually used a fork to dip them. I stuck a fork on one side of the truffle and dunked it in. Them I slid the truffle off the fork and filled the little holes from the fork tongs with more chocolate using a spoon. covering any messy parts with sprinkles helped me as well! I hope this helps Kelsey. Thank you!
I was having trouble keeping the white chocolate coating “pretty” too. Came up with this method which worked well for me: stick the tip of a chopstick into the frozen ball just enough to hold it there, spin the ball in the white chocolate to cover everything, then hold the chopstick vertically with the ball at the top and use the tines of a fork to lift the ball off the chopstick and set on your parchment paper. It keeps the smooth chocolate shell untouched, with only the bottom of the ball (which is hidden anyways) with any marks. Making these again today and will be using this easy method!
That’s a great method! I did that method with my cookie dough truffle pops. it does work well! Thanks for reporting back Melissa!
Haven’t seen golden Oreos on British shores yet, but I made these with a brand of crunchy butter cookies. First try, I accidentally bought milk chocolate but it was no cause for complaint. OMG, sex on a plate.
Second batch got an unhealthy dose of crunchy peanut butter added. Perhaps not enough cream cheese (I just guessed the amount), but still so yummy – tasted like a sour cream p/b fudge. Google blessed my tastebuds the day it landed me on your site, thanks!
crunchy butter cookies sounds like a fabulous substitution! And adding crunchy pb to the mix sounds HEAVENLY. I’m so glad you gound my site and are finding treats you love! Let me know what else you make
These look delicious! I can’t wait to try these out!
Thank you! Let me know how they turn out – I am actually making them this weekend!
Sounds divine! In Chile we don’t usually use cream cheese to bind things together, ee use “manjar” or “dulce de leche” instead of cream cheese. When I travelled to the States I was feeling like dying since there wasn’t any MANJAR!!! I love it since i was a baby and here it’s sold everywhere and there are many different brands. You should try makin cake pops with cake and dulce de leche… Out of this world!! Greetings from Chile!!
Catalina recently posted..Galletas fáciles de chocolate
Cake pops with cake and dulce de leche – WOW!! What a great suggestion Catalina! And greetings again from the US!
Hi Sally,
Delightful recipe here! I was just wondering how much 4.5 cups weighed as they sell golden Oreos in 145g packs here. Thanks for your help!
Hi Catherine! Unfortunately, I do not know how much 4.5 cups weighs – I did not use a food scale for this recipe. I did use less than one American size package though.
i reeeeeally want to try this recipe – it looks divine! unfortunately we dont seem to have golden oreos in UK
until then i will just keep drooling over the gorgeous pics! xx
I was wondering if you could put a cake pop stick in them and then dip them?
Hey Stacy! Yes, a cake pop stick will work.
Made these last week. The standard Oreo Truffle is ALWAYS a hit so are Mint Oreo Truffles — these followed suit. Just like everything I’ve made from your blog so far. Thanks so much.
I made these for a New Years Eve party and I heard someone describe them as “creamy goodness”; and I just made them for my roommates and I, and they were gone within 36 hours. These are definitely a favorite AND a new recipe staple for me!
creamy goodness – that’s exactly how I would describe them too. They are so full of creamy vanilla flavor and white chocolate. And the sprinkles! Love it all. I’m glad these are a new staple for ya! Thanks for letting me know, Faith. =)
I absolutely hate the taste of cream cheese. I always have and can always tell when it is used in a recipe. Do you have any suggestions for a substitute ingredient? I would love to try these!
Hey Amanda, with only 3 ingredients in the recipe (not including sprinkles), the cream cheese is quite important. Unfortunately I can think of no other option. Mixed with ground up Oreos, the filling doesn’t taste “cream cheesy” at all though.
Love the simplicity of this recipe! I got even lazier and decided to make them in bar form (pressed into a 8×8 pan with the melted chocolate spread on top). I don’t expect them to last long at work tomorrow.
WHOA. I need to try these in bar form!!!! Lucy, honestly thank you so much for reporting back and telling me you did that – now I must try it!
I just made this today and it was delicious, but I forgot to let it sit until room temperature, so the chips melted and it was a little more chocolately than planned!
A little more chocolatey than planned sounds ok to me..
Thanks Rachel!
I just made these for my boyfriend and they were AMAZING. He has 2 roommates so I doubt there will be any left by tomorrow. Thanks for the easy, tasty recipe Sally!
Yay! These are a favorite recipe and so, so easy too! Thanks for reporting back, Emily!
Got a kids party coming up this weekend and definitely want to give this a try, especially since I’m on a Oreo binge. I am pretty sure the kids when they see this will be in “ooooooh, ahhhhhhh” mode before they gobble them up lol
mmm I love these truffles. I just made them again recently, too. They are popular with kiddos!
