Back in 2009 I made 175 Oreo Truffles for a church event. I shared the recipe here. I like to call them little balls of goodness. I decided to change that recipe up a little bit for today’s post and make an Easter version.
Instead of the regular chocolate Oreo I used the Golden Oreos which are my personal favorite. The recipe is simple – only two ingredients, Oreos and cream cheese. The Oreos are crushed up and blended into the cream cheese. I then formed round little balls of goodness.
Because Easter is coming I thought they would be cute as little egg shapes of goodness so I just formed them into an egg shape by pushing one end of the dough into a soft point.
Then pop them back in the refrigerator to let them firm up. Then they are ready to dip into some white chocolate flavored coating for some extra goodness. After they have firmed up in the freezer I put a toothpick into each one to use as I dip them in the melted chocolate. I like using Wilton Candy Melts.
After dipping truffle into chocolate gently tap it on the side of the glass so allow excess chocolate to drip off. Then place it on a parchment covered sheet. Allow the chocolate to set up and then gently remove the tooth pick. You will be left with a small hole in the truffle. Use your toothpick and some of the left over chocolate to fill the hole. If it doesn’t look perfect don’t worry you are going to be drizzling more chocolate over the top.
I then melted some different colored Wilton Melts and put them into a freezer zipper bag (the freezer ones are heavier and the chocolate is hot). Snip a small hole in the corner of the bag.
Then drizzle away. I also add some colored sprinkles because everything is better with sprinkles.
Keep them refrigerated until ready to serve. I think they taste better chilled than at room temperature.
A fun little treat to add to your Easter baskets, serve at your Easter Brunch or give to your neighbors as a treat.

How did you melt the chocolate? Did you have any issues with the colored melts not melting well?
I melted my chocolate in the microwave, just do it nice and slow.
Can you please tell me about how many mini Oreos I could use instead of the regular Oreos?
Sorry Rachel, I have no idea. I have only made it with the regular ones.
Here in Florida there are a few other companies that make vanilla cream sandwich cookie. Not sure about the density and moisture content compared to Oreo’s brand. I’ve used them in other projects in my classroom food preps.
The brands include Keebler, Snackwells, Murray’s, and store brands
These look yummy and im so happy to see that peanut butter wasn’t one of the ingredients (we have one that’s very allergic)…..i do have a question tho, I’m not a big fan of chocolate and i have never seen the golden Oreos where i live (ont., Canada)? Lol ihhave never looked for them really but still have never noticed them! Is there another cookie i could use and does it have to have a creamy filling like Oreos?
Tish,
You can just use regular Oreos and instead of dipping them in chocolate just crush up about 9 other Oreos and roll the truffle ball in that. But if you don’t like regular Oreos I would just look to see what other cream filled cookie you can find. Maybe a maple filled sandwich cookie??
Those look too cute! Perfect for Easter! Pinned it!
Hi Leigh Anne!
These look so good, and a nice change from the chocolate Oreos. I have a question- where do you use the first 9 crushed Oreos?
Thanks!
Oops – forgot to delete that. With the original recipe I used those crumbs to roll the balls in but this time I dipped them in chocolate. I fixed the recipe – thanks!
Hi. It’s still not fixed…I, too, was wondering what to do with the 9 crushed Oreos.
So, do NOT crush the 9 Oreos. Set them aside to snack on while making these delicious balls of goodness. I’m not a “baker” but this? I can do! Thanks!
Sorry about that – the way I originally made them I rolled them in the 9 crushed Oreos, this time I dipped them in chocolate and I just forgot to delete the 9 crushed. But it really is fixed now!
What do you do with the 9 crushed Oreos that you set aside
Norma, Please note I updated the recipe. I originally used it to roll the little truffles in but this time I dipped them in chocolate so you won’t need it.
Recipe is updated.
