You’ll Love Golden Oreo Truffles!
Golden Oreo Truffles are small cookie-and-cream balls coated in white chocolate. They come together quickly and are ideal for make-ahead dessert tables. The filling is creamy and slightly tangy from the cream cheese, which balances the sweetness of the cookies and coating.
These truffles are highly customizable: tint the candy melts to match party colors, add themed sprinkles, or top with cookie crumbs. They work wonderfully for holidays—use red and green sprinkles for a festive touch—or for birthdays, baby showers, and potlucks.
Ingredients and Variations
- Golden Oreos: Use a standard package of Golden Oreos (vanilla). You can substitute other Oreo flavors—chocolate, lemon, or seasonal varieties—for different flavors.
- Cream Cheese: Softened cream cheese binds the crumbs into a smooth, scoopable dough. Full-fat cream cheese gives the best texture; low-fat works in a pinch. Vanilla frosting can also substitute if preferred.
- Melting Chocolate: White candy melts provide a smooth coating and are easy to work with. If you don’t have candy melts, white chocolate chips gently melted with a teaspoon or two of coconut oil will thin the chocolate for dipping.
- Sprinkles: Add sprinkles while the coating is still wet, or use crushed Oreos, chopped nuts, or a chocolate drizzle for decoration.
How to Make Golden Oreo Truffles
These truffles are straightforward to prepare. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and have a cookie scoop ready for even-size truffles.
Step 1: Crush the cookies. Put Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. If you don’t have a processor, place cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Step 2: Add cream cheese. Add 4 ounces (half a block) of softened cream cheese to the crumbs and pulse until the mixture forms a uniform dough that holds together.
Step 3: Form the truffles. Scoop and roll the mixture into 16–18 balls using a cookie scoop or tablespoon. Place them on the lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about 10 minutes to firm up.
Step 4: Dip and decorate. Melt 8 ounces of white candy melts according to package directions (or gently heat white chocolate with a bit of coconut oil). Dip chilled truffles into the melted coating, allow excess to drip off, then set them back on parchment. Add sprinkles or other toppings before the coating sets.
Let the coating harden completely. Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Remove them from the fridge 10–15 minutes before serving for best flavor and texture.
Recipe Tips
- Use regular Oreos instead of double-stuffed for a balanced cookie-to-cream ratio. Double-stuffed versions can make the mixture too soft.
- If using white chocolate instead of candy melts, melt gently at 50% power in the microwave and stir frequently. Add a small amount of coconut oil to thin if needed.
- Decorate while the coating is still wet so sprinkles adhere well.
- Keep truffles refrigerated; bring to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Because they contain cream cheese, store Oreo Truffles in the refrigerator to maintain texture and safety.
Stickiness usually comes from using double-stuffed cookies or too much cream cheese. Use standard Oreos and measure the cream cheese to avoid a wet mixture.

Ingredients
- 24 Golden Oreos
- 4 ounces cream cheese (half a block)
- 8 ounces white candy melts
- 1 tablespoon sprinkles
Instructions
- Add Oreos to a food processor with the blade attachment and pulse until finely crumbled. Add cream cheese and pulse until the mixture combines and forms a ball.

Notes
- Use regular Oreos rather than double-stuffed for a firmer mixture.
- If you can’t find candy melts, substitute white chocolate and microwave at 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds. Add coconut oil to thin if necessary.
