Ingredients
  

Oreo cookies
  • 36 Oreo cookies Use store-bought Oreo cookies.
Cream cheese
  • 8 oz cream cheese Soften until spreadable.
White chocolate melting wafers
  • 16 oz white chocolate melting wafers Melting wafers help create a smooth coating.
Red candy melts
  • 1 Red candy melts Use red candy melts for the drizzle.
Blue candy melts
  • 1 Blue candy melts Use blue candy melts for the drizzle.
Star sprinkles
  • 1 Red, white, and blue star sprinkles Have sprinkles ready right after drizzling.

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan
  • 1 food processor

Method
 

Make the Oreo truffle dough
  1. Crush Oreo cookies in a food processor until they become fine crumbs with no large pieces remaining, then stop and check for any remaining chunks.
  2. Mix Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese until fully combined into a thick uniform dough, scraping the sides as needed for an even texture.
Shape and chill
  1. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined sheet pan in spaced rows so they keep their shape.
  2. Freeze the balls for 30 minutes so they firm up for dipping.
Dip in white chocolate
  1. Melt the white chocolate melting wafers according to package instructions until smooth, with no visible lumps.
  2. Dip each chilled Oreo ball into white chocolate using a fork, let excess drip off, and return it to the parchment sheet in clean rows.
Decorate and set
  1. Melt red candy melts and blue candy melts separately according to package instructions until pourable.
  2. Drizzle the red and blue candy melts over the coated balls in thin lines, then immediately top each with star sprinkles before the drizzle sets.
  3. Refrigerate for 30 minutes until fully set before serving, keeping the rows intact for that patriotic look.

Notes

Pro tip: keep the Oreo balls fully chilled until the moment you dip—this helps the coating stay smooth and the balls keep perfectly round. Store finished truffles in the refrigerator up to 5 days; freeze yes (in a single layer) up to 2 months. For a dairy-light option, use a dairy-free cream cheese substitute and dairy-free white chocolate wafers if you can find them, keeping the same chilling and setting steps.
