Christmas Golden Oreo Balls: Perfect No-Bake Christmas Dessert

Looking for a festive treat that’s quick and easy? These Christmas Golden Oreo Truffles are a fun twist on the classic Oreo truffle, using Golden Oreos instead of originals.

The results are a sweet and creamy no-bake treat. They’re great if you have anyone in your family who prefers vanilla to chocolate (like my preschooler).

They’ve got that same smooth, rich texture as regular Oreo truffles, but with a buttery Golden Oreo base. And they’re just as easy to make — only 3 ingredients and no baking.

Just crush Golden Oreos, mix with cream cheese, and dip in melted candy coating. This batch I topped with cute Christmas sprinkles to give them a simple holiday touch.

Let’s make some truffles.

Steps to make Christmas Golden Oreo Ball

1. Warm cream cheese to room temperature to soften.

2. Pulverize Golden Oreos in food processor or in a zip lock bag with a rolling pin.

3. Use a hand mixer to mix crushed Golden Oreos, cream cheese and a pinch of salt until fully combined. Start your hand-mixer on low so the Oreo dust doesn’t fly up and gradually increase to medium speed.

4. Form dough into balls roughly the size of a cookie scoop and place on parchment lined cookie sheet.

5. Put Oreo balls in the freezer for about 10 minutes to chill before candy coating.

6. While Oreo balls chill, pour ½ cup of candy melt pieces into a microwave safe cup or small bowl. Add ½ teaspoon of oil to start.

NOTE: Getting the right consistency for the candy melts will depend on your candy melts, microwave and oil. Start slow with oil amount & cook time and check it frequently. Adding too much oil will prevent the candy coating from firming up. 

7. Microwave candy melts for 30 seconds at half power. Stir and microwave again for another 30 seconds. Add a little more oil if needed. The consistency should run off the spoon like paint, not water. My microwave took 1:15 cook time to get a smooth liquid.

8. Place an Oreo ball on a fork and gently spoon the melted candy coating over until it is well coated. Allow excess coating to run off by very gently shaking the fork.

9. Return the ball to parchment and garnish with Christmas sprinkles while the coating is still wet so they stick. Repeat with the rest of the balls, making more candy coating if needed.

10. Allow balls to set in the fridge for at least an hour. You can also freeze them for 2 months. Thaw them in the freezer so they don’t get condensation while defrosting.
