Ingredients
  

Oreo balls
  • 36 Oreo cookies
  • 8 oz cream cheese Soften to room temperature for easier mixing.
Coating and decoration
  • 16 oz white chocolate melting wafers Melt until smooth following package instructions.
  • 1 Red candy melts Melt separately for thin drizzle lines.
  • 1 Blue candy melts Melt separately for thin drizzle lines.
  • 1 Red, white, and blue star sprinkles Add immediately after drizzling so they stick.

Equipment

  • 1 food processor
  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Make the Oreo-cream cheese dough
  1. Process Oreo cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs with no large pieces remaining, creating an even texture.
  2. Mix the Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese until fully combined into a thick uniform dough.
Shape and chill
  1. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined sheet pan, leaving space between each ball.
  2. Freeze the Oreo balls for 30 minutes until firm enough to dip.
Melt and dip
  1. Melt the white chocolate melting wafers according to package instructions until smooth and pourable.
  2. Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted white chocolate using a fork, let excess drip off, and return the ball to the parchment-lined sheet pan.
Decorate
  1. Melt the red candy melts and drizzle over the coated balls in thin lines.
  2. Melt the blue candy melts and drizzle over the coated balls in thin lines, then immediately add star sprinkles while the coating is still wet.
Set and serve
  1. Refrigerate the dipped and decorated Oreo balls for 30 minutes until fully set before serving.

Notes

For the neatest round truffles, keep the dough cold while shaping (refreeze for 10 minutes if it softens). Store in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 5 days; freeze up to 1 month for make-ahead prep (thaw overnight in the fridge). For a lighter swap, use low-fat cream cheese—texture may be slightly softer but still workable for chilling and dipping.
