Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Oreo cookies
  • 36 Oreo cookies
cream cheese
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened use brick-style for easiest mixing
white chocolate melting wafers
  • 16 oz white chocolate melting wafers
red candy melts
  • 0.5 oz Red candy melts measure as needed for thin drizzle lines
blue candy melts
  • 0.5 oz Blue candy melts measure as needed for thin drizzle lines
star sprinkles
  • 2 tbsp Red, white, and blue star sprinkles add right after drizzling so they stick

Equipment

  • 1 food processor
  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Make the Oreo filling
  1. Crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor until they become fine crumbs with no large pieces remaining. Keep processing until the texture looks powdery and even.
  2. Mix the Oreo crumbs with the softened cream cheese until fully combined into a thick uniform dough. Stir until there are no dry pockets and the mixture holds together.
  3. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Freeze for 30 minutes to firm up.
Dip and decorate
  1. Melt the white chocolate melting wafers according to package instructions until smooth. Stop once the coating is glossy and fully melted.
  2. Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the white chocolate using a fork, then let excess drip off and return it to the parchment-lined sheet pan. Work quickly so the coating stays even.
  3. Melt the red candy melts and drizzle over the coated balls in thin lines. Immediately follow with blue candy melts in additional thin lines before the coating sets.
  4. Top the drizzled balls with red, white, and blue star sprinkles right away. Add sprinkles lightly so the red and blue drizzle remains visible.
Set for serving
  1. Refrigerate the truffles for 30 minutes until fully set before serving. Chilled truffles should feel firm and the drizzle should not smear.

Notes

For the smoothest dipping, chill the Oreo balls long enough that they feel cold and firm, and keep the white chocolate warm and fluid while you work. Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days; freeze up to 2 months (freeze on a tray first, then transfer to a container) for easy make-ahead party desserts. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free Oreo-style sandwich cookies and the rest of the recipe stays the same.
