What Are Valentine’s Day Oreo Truffles?

Valentine’s Day Oreo Truffles are a festive spin on classic Oreo balls. Crushed Oreo cookies are mixed with softened cream cheese to create a smooth, rich filling. That mixture is rolled into bite sized balls, chilled, and then dipped in melted chocolate.

What makes them “Valentine’s Day” worthy is all in the presentation. The base recipe stays the same, but the decorations change think heart shaped sprinkles, pink chocolate drizzle, or a mix of white and dark chocolate coatings. They’re easy to customize, which is part of their charm.

Oreo truffles became popular because they’re no bake, require minimal ingredients, and taste like something you’d find in a bakery display case. This version leans into that appeal while keeping things approachable for home bakers of all skill levels.

Ingredients

Full-fat cream cheese gives the best flavor and structure.

For the Chocolate Coating

12–16 ounces chocolate (melting wafers, almond bark, or chocolate chips)
White, milk, or semi-sweet chocolate all work well.
1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional)
Helps thin the chocolate for smoother dipping.

Colored sanding sugar
Pink or red candy melts for drizzle
Crushed freeze-dried strawberries

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Crush the Oreos

Add the Oreos to a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, place them in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin until very fine.

2. Mix with Cream Cheese

Transfer the crumbs to a mixing bowl. Add the softened cream cheese and mix until fully combined. The mixture should be smooth, thick, and hold together easily.

3. Roll Into Balls

Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll into a ball. Place each truffle on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

4. Chill

Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes, or freeze for 15 minutes. This step is important to keep them from falling apart when dipped.

5. Melt the Chocolate

Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Stir in coconut oil if using.

6. Dip the Truffles

Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate. Tap gently to remove excess chocolate and return to the parchment-lined sheet.

7. Decorate

Before the chocolate sets, add sprinkles or toppings. If drizzling, let the coating set first, then drizzle with contrasting chocolate.

8. Set and Serve

Allow the truffles to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Once firm, they’re ready to enjoy or package.

Tips & Tricks / Flavor Variations

Extra smooth texture: Pulse the Oreo crumbs again after mixing to remove any lumps
Flavor boost: Add ½ teaspoon vanilla extract to the filling
Mint version: Use Mint Oreos and dark chocolate coating
Strawberry twist: Use Golden Oreos and add strawberry extract
Vegan option: Use dairy-free cream cheese and vegan sandwich cookies

If you enjoy no bake treats like Valentine’s Day Sugar Cookie Fudge or No Bake Peppermint Cheesecake, these truffles fit right into that lineup.
