How to Make Patriotic Oreo Truffles
- Step 1 – Line a cutting board or baking sheet with parchment paper. Don’t skip this step. It will help with cleanup.
Step 2 – Crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor or blender. You want them to be fine crumbs crushed which about 10-12 pulses. If you do not have one, put the cookies in a ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin.
Step 3 – Add the softened cream cheese and crushed Oreo cookie crumbs together. Mix until everything is well blended in a large mixing bowl.
Step 4 – Now, you want to make 1″ balls with the cookie dough and place on the baking tray you prepared earlier. Place prepared balls in the freezer.
Step 5 – Melt chocolate in the microwave. Then dip the oreo balls into the melted chocolate.
- Step 6 – Once all of the oreo balls have been coated in chocolate, heat the candy melts in two separate bowls. Just microwave for 1 minute intervals until melted. Make sure to stir in between each minute. You don’t want it to burn.
- Step 7 – Finally, drizzle the red and blue candy melts all over the Patriotic Oreo Balls. I like to do a zig zag pattern but there isn’t any wrong or right way to do this with a small piping bag.

Recipe Tips
- Food Processor – I love using my food processor to quickly and easily crush the Oreo cookies. It is such a time saver and you will use it for a lot of other recipes too.
- Cookie Scoop – Use a cookie scoop to help make the Oreo balls uniform. Plus, the scoop makes it so easy to make a bunch quickly. While you can certainly use a spoon, the cookie scoop makes it so much easier and faster.
- Lollipop Sticks – Turn these into cute party favors and use a lollipop in the oreo balls. It makes them more like a cake pop and kids love this sweet treat.
Flavor and Decor Variations
- Sprinkles- Add festive red and blue sprinkles on top of the truffles. You can find some really cute patriotic ones to make cute red white and blue oreo truffles. Also, change up the sprinkles for other seasons.
- Candy Melts- The red and blue is festive for July 4th. However, you can use any color to make these work for any occasion or Holiday. Try red and green for Christmas, pink and red for Valentine’s Day, pastels for Easter or Spring, black and orange for Halloween.
- Chocolate- Dip these in milk chocolate for a change from the white chocolate. It is also fun and yummy to drizzle milk chocolate and white chocolate on top instead of the candy melts.
- Oreo cookies- Try other types of Oreo cookies. I bet peanut butter or red velvet would be yummy!
How to Store Leftover Truffles
Make sure to put the remaining balls in the refrigerator. Just put them inside an airtight container. Don’t leave them on the counter because the chocolate will start to melt and the oreo truffles will soften.
Can I Freeze Truffles?
Yes, these Patriotic Truffles can easily be placed in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. We recommend flash freezing them first on a baking sheet and then placing in a freezer storage bag. This way you can take out the amount that you need.
Frequently Asked Questions
We recommend using the regular Oreos. But you can use the double stuffed or use different flavors of Oreos.
Transfer melted candy into ziplock bags, snip a tiny corner, and pipe quick zigzags onto the truffles.
