  3. Melt the Chocolate: In two separate microwave-safe bowls melt the chocolate chips in the microwave. Stir every 30 seconds until smooth and melted.
  4. Coat the Balls in Chocolate: Using a fork, dip each ball into the chocolate and place it on the prepared pan to let set. You can also refrigerate them to speed up the process!

Tips For Making No Bake Oreo Balls

Get creative with these Oreo balls.  Make them each unique with different toppings and chocolate drizzles.  There is no wrong way to make them, so have fun!

  • Coating Truffles: Use a toothpick to dip the Oreo balls in the melted chocolate. It’s the best way to get a perfectly smooth coat.
  • Toppings: Crushed Oreo sprinkled on top of these truffles gives a great crunch.  Also try nuts, sprinkles, or coconut to add different flavors and textures.
  • Chocolate: Candy melts or cooking bars are also great to use for the chocolate coating if that is what you have on hand. Add vegetable oil to thin out the chocolate if it’s thicker than you prefer.
  • Size: Make your truffles big or small! They are pretty rich, so don’t make them too big. Feel free to use any cookie scoop. Mine is about 1 tablespoon.

How to Store Homemade Oreo Balls

You will be so happy when you remember you have leftover no bake Oreo balls! They are great for freezing as well. Pull them out of the freezer for last-minute entertaining or for a luxurious weeknight treat. 

  • In the Refrigerator: Place leftovers in an airtight container in a single layer. Refrigerate for up to 1 week.
  • In the Freezer: To store your Oreo balls, place them in an airtight container and use wax paper to separate layers. Freeze for up to two months.

  1. They sound delicious. I have a couple questions though. It starts off stating there are three ingredients. There are five listed. It says to melt the chocolate chips in two separate bowls. Then it merely says to dip the balls into the chocolate. Is that into white, then dark, the other way around, half and half, or do you mix the chocolate?

  2. 2 stars
    I had some issues making this recipe. I did not have a food processor so I read in another similar recipe that you can crush the cookies in a ziplock bag. The ziplock bag and rolling pin to crush the cookies didn’t work for me. No matter how long I was at it, I could not get the cookies to turn into fine crumbs. The middle of the Oreos created a cream and the big chunks of cookies got stuck together. Was I supposed to remove the middle of the cookies before crushing them? The recipe was not clear. I melted the chocolate chips but I could not get the consistency liquid enough to pour down the sides of the balls. It was clumped on and then my chocolate kept drying up and getting hard. This recipe was a complete flop.

  3. 5 stars
    If you love oreos these are your go to. If you have a cookie exchange, these are your go to. If you like fast, easy and delicious, these are your go to. Made them tonight as written and they were delishous. My suggestion is to know your audience when it comes to toppings 🙂
