Oreo Truffles
The Christmas season is here! That means it is time for holiday parties, school parties, and baking for friends and neighbors. But what should you make? That is always the dilemma.
All of this means one thing to me; I’ll be cranking out festive treats almost daily! I love gingerbread, and I love Oreo’s, so why not combine my love of both into one super tasty treat.
They’re super easy to make and delicious. You can serve these truffles at a holiday party or package them in a pretty box for gifting.
Grab the kids to help you make this truffles recipe! My kiddos LOVE helping me mix, roll, and dip these Gingerbread OREO Truffle balls!
Their favorite part of helping is placing a decorative gingerbread man sprinkle on top of each truffle.

How to Make Gingerbread Oreo Truffles:
Let me show you how easy these truffles are to make!
First, beat together cream cheese and cookie crumbs. Mix in molasses, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger until combined.
Then, use a 1-Tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop filling into level tablespoon amounts. Roll into a ball, and place onto a cookie sheet to chill.
Next, dip the chilled balls into the melted chocolate, scoop out using a fork, and scrape off excess chocolate on the side of the bowl.
Finally, place the dipped balls on a wax-lined cookie sheet, place decorative sprinkles on top (optional). Chill for 1 hour in the refrigerator and enjoy it!
When making Oreo Truffles, do you remove the cream from the Oreo?
No need to remove the cream when making these truffles. The cream adds more flavor to the recipe and makes it one more reason this is such an easy treat to make.
How long are Oreo Truffles good for?
Truffles will stay fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 month. You can also freeze them. They will stay fresh in the freezer for up to 4 months.
Can Oreo Truffles be made ahead of time?
You can make these truffles ahead of time. That’s another reason they make the perfect treat this time of year! You can make them up to 5 days in advance and keep them in an airtight container in the fridge.
How many Oreos are in a package?
Standard packages come with 39 Oreos. This recipe calls for 3 cups of Oreo crumbs, which is about 36 Oreos, so one package works perfectly for this recipe.
Cook’s Note – Gingerbread Oreo Truffles:
- These truffles will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- You can freeze the truffles; make sure they’re in an air-tight container or freezer bag. They will keep up to 6 months like this. Just defrost them in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for an hour before serving.
Cook’s Tools and Ingredients:
All of these are Amazon links!

The Culinary Mama says
Yum! These look great, I’m pinning for the future
summerdf says
These look absolutely delish. I have some molasses that I’ve been wondering how to use and I think you just figured it out for me! YUM! #client
Laura says
Did you use the golden oreos or chocolate oreos?
Jillian says
Golden Oreos. Sorry about that, I have not updated the post and recipe to reflect it!
Hannah says
Can you tell me where you got those gorgeous sprinkles?!
Hannah says
Oops. I see it now! 🙂 hehe
E.kelly says
Where did you get the mini gingerbread men on the top of the truffles
Jillian says
I got them off of Amazon: (affiliate link) http://amzn.to/2hnGevK
Craft stores like Hobby Lobby or Michael’s might carry them.
Patty says
Have you tried making something like this but use gingersnap cookies instead of oreos?
Jillian says
I haven’t, but I bet it would be delicious! If you use gingersnaps I’d imagine you don’t have to use the spices and molasses the recipe calls for above. If you make this adaptation let me know, I’d love to know how they turn out!
sandi says
Hello, did you leave the cream in the Oreo’s or remove it before crushing?
Jillian says
Leave the cream in the Oreo’s!
Kaela says
Hi. Can I make these ahead of time and freeze them?

migon says
hi I have some gingerbread Kalhua, have you ever added alcohol to it? do you need to adjust the recipe?
thank you!!
Migon
Jillian says
Hi Migon, I have never added alcohol to these. If you do, have a few extra golden Oreos on hand just in case the batter is too wet.
Maria says
How long do these stay fresh in the fridge?

Carmen says
I made these and thought the ginger was too strong so I added graham cracker crumbs, more cinnamon, and a bit of nutmeg and cloves. They were delicious! Everyone raved about them! I will definitely make them again
Carmen says
I made these with more cinnamon, some nutmeg and cloves, and also added graham cracker crumbs. They are amazing! A huge hit with the family!
