Oreo Truffle Balls Pink Candy (Print Version)

Creamy Oreo cream cheese spheres coated in vibrant pink candy shell for a satisfying snap and rich chocolate center.

# What You'll Need:

→ Truffle Base

01 - 36 Oreo cookies with filling (14.3 oz)
02 - 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature

→ Coating & Decoration

03 - 12 oz pink candy melts or white candy melts tinted with pink oil-based coloring
04 - 1 teaspoon vegetable shortening, optional for smoother coating
05 - Sprinkles or edible pearls for decoration, optional

# How to Make It:

01 - Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Alternatively, crush the cookies in a sealed zip-top bag using a rolling pin.
02 - Transfer crumbs to a mixing bowl. Add softened cream cheese and stir with a spatula until completely combined and uniform in color.
03 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into firm balls between your palms. Place each truffle onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining mixture.
04 - Chill truffle balls in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or freezer for 15 minutes, until firm enough for dipping.
05 - Melt the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals at medium power, stirring between each session until smooth. Stir in vegetable shortening if desired for a shinier, smoother coating.
06 - Using a dipping fork or regular fork, dip each chilled truffle ball into the melted candy coating. Tap gently to remove excess coating, then return to the parchment-lined tray.
07 - While the coating is still wet, decorate with sprinkles or edible pearls as desired.
08 - Let the coated truffles set at room temperature, or chill in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes until the coating is hardened.
09 - Serve chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You only need two ingredients for the truffle base, and both are pantry staples you probably already have.
  • The pink candy coating adds a festive pop of color that makes these look bakery-perfect with minimal effort.
  • They hold up beautifully in the fridge for days, so you can make them ahead without stress.
  • Each bite delivers that nostalgic Oreo flavor wrapped in a smooth, sweet shell that feels indulgent but stays light.
02 -
  • If your cream cheese is too cold, the mixture will be lumpy and hard to roll, so let it sit on the counter for at least 30 minutes before you start.
  • Don't skip the chilling step before dipping, or the truffles will soften and slide right off the fork into the melted candy.
  • Candy melts can seize if they get too hot, so use medium power and stir often to keep the texture smooth and workable.
03 -
  • Keep a damp paper towel nearby to wipe your hands between rolling each truffle, it keeps the balls smooth and prevents sticky buildup.
  • If the candy coating starts to thicken as it cools, pop it back in the microwave for 10 seconds and stir, it'll loosen right back up.
  • Use a toothpick to gently push each dipped truffle off the fork onto the parchment, it prevents smudging and keeps the coating perfect.
