How to Make No Bake Holiday Oreo Truffles

Let’s break this down into simple, stress-free steps. You’ve got enough going on—this part should feel like a relaxing moment in your kitchen.

1. Make the Oreo Dough

  1. Toss the Oreos into your food processor. Pulse until they turn into fine crumbs.
  2. Add your softened cream cheese. Blend until everything comes together into a soft, sticky dough.
  3. Scoop and roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. It’s a little messy, but also weirdly therapeutic—like a tiny break from real life.
  4. Set the balls on a plate and freeze for 30 minutes.

You’re already halfway there. Not bad for a dessert that tastes like pure holiday cheer.

2. Dip in Decadent Chocolate

Now the fun part—chocolate dipping.

  1. Melt the semisweet chocolate low and slow in the microwave.
  2. Cover a baking sheet with wax paper.
  3. Remove your truffle balls from the freezer.
  4. With a fork or dipping tool, lower each ball into the chocolate. Spoon chocolate over the top.
  5. Lift out gently and slide the bottom of the fork along the bowl rim to remove excess.
  6. Place on the wax paper.

Once they’re all coated, refrigerate for about 10 minutes so the chocolate can firm up.

3. Add the Festive Drizzle

This is what makes them holiday-ready.

  1. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave.
  2. Dip a fork in and drizzle it over the chilled truffles.
  3. For an extra festive moment, sprinkle crushed cookies or holiday sprinkles on top before the chocolate sets.
  4. Refrigerate again—just 10 minutes.

At this point, try not to eat them all. I believe in you… kinda.

Tips for the Best No Bake Holiday Oreo Truffles

A few tiny tips that make a big difference:

  • Moisture is the enemy of melted chocolate. Even one sneaky water droplet can make your chocolate seize.
  • Don’t rush the melting. Slow and steady wins the silky-smooth chocolate race.
  • Use melting chocolate or Baker’s bars instead of chocolate chips—they melt more evenly.
  • Want colored drizzle? Use oil-based food coloring. Water-based coloring = chocolate catastrophe.
  • Decorate right away. If you’re adding sprinkles, they stick best when the chocolate is still warm.

Honestly, if your chocolate gets a little messy, no one cares. It’s dessert, not a science fair project.
