  • Mixing bowl.
  • Wax paper

🥫 Storage

Store these Christmas Oreo balls in the refrigerator in a covered container for up to 5 days. We don’t recommend freezing them, as the changing temperature can cause the chocolate coating to crack.

💭 Tips

These Oreo balls are so easy to make that we only have a couple of tips to remember.

  • Be sure your Oreo balls are completely chilled before dunking them in the warm melted chocolate.
  • Resist the temptation to put the completed Oreo balls in the fridge to cool them faster. The chocolate could crack.

⁉️ FAQ

Do you have questions about this recipe? Here are the answers to the most commonly asked questions.

Who invented Oreo balls?

No one really seems to know. We know that they’re a variation of the chocolate truffle which was invented by accident by a French chef, but after that, we have no idea.

Why do Oreo balls have to be refrigerated?

They’re made with cream cheese, which has to be refrigerated no matter what form it’s in.

How long can you leave Oreo balls out?

Don’t leave these out for longer than 2 hours for safety.
