So, friend, trust me when I say, you’re going to want to try making these shaped chocolate treats. Ready to add a bit of fun and flavor to your everyday foodie life? Let’s dive into how to make these gems happen!

What You’ll Need:

This Shaped Oreo Truffles keeps the ingredient list totally approachable—because good food shouldn’t be complicated.

  • 36 Oreo cookies (regular, not double stuffed) – You can grab these at any regular grocery store.
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened – Out of cream cheese? No problem, mascarpone works great in this Shaped Oreo Truffles too!
  • 12 oz good-quality chocolate (semi-sweet or milk, chopped or chips) – I love using a mix of semi-sweet and milk for a balanced flavor.
  • Sprinkles or colored sugars (optional, for decoration)

Budget-wise, this Shaped Oreo Truffles is kind to your wallet because Oreos and cream cheese are pretty affordable staples.

Quick prep tip: Soften your cream cheese ahead of time by leaving it out for 30 minutes or microwaving gently in short bursts.

Leftovers? Store your shaped chocolate treats in an airtight container in the fridge—they’ll keep fresh for about a week, but honestly, they rarely last that long in my house!

Here’s my secret little upgrade that takes this Shaped Oreo Truffles from good to ‘wow’—after shaping, I chill them a bit, then give them a second dip in chocolate for an extra smooth, shiny finish. It’s worth the extra step, trust me!

Let’s Cook This Together:

Start to finish, this Shaped Oreo Truffles comes together in about 45 minutes, and most of that time is hands-off chilling.

  1. Crush those Oreos! I pop them right into a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. No processor? Toss them into a zip-top bag and pound away with a rolling pin. Either way works!
  2. Mix crumb and cream cheese. Toss your crushed Oreos into a bowl with the softened cream cheese. Stir with a spatula or your hands until everything’s combined and it looks like a dense, moist dough.
  3. Shape your truffles. Here’s where the fun starts: roll your mixture into small balls—about 1 inch each. Then, I shape them into little hearts or stars depending on the occasion. This step turns simple Oreo ball recipes into something really special.
  4. Chill time. Pop your shaped Oreo balls onto a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps them firm up so they dip easier.
  5. Melt your chocolate. Use a microwave-safe bowl or a double boiler, melting in short bursts and stirring frequently until silky smooth.
  6. Dip and decorate. Use a fork or toothpick to dip your shaped Oreo truffles into the melted chocolate. Let the excess drip off, then set back on parchment. Sprinkle quickly with your decorations if you want.
  7. Final chill. Let your truffles firm in the fridge for about 15 minutes before digging in.

Quick kitchen nugget: if your shaped Oreo truffles looks like the chocolate is too thick or clumpy, gently warm it again, stirring well to smooth things out.

While your Shaped Oreo Truffles are chilling, it’s a great time to pour yourself a cup of coffee or set the table—and get ready for some serious yum.

How to Serve & Savor It:
