Gingerbread Oreo Truffles
The Christmas season is here! This means I’ll be cranking out festive treats like these Gingerbread OREO Truffles almost daily! They’re super easy to make and delicious. You can serve them at a holiday party or package them in a pretty box for gifting.
Grab the kids to help you make this recipe! My 3-year-old and 6-year-old LOVE helping me mix, roll, and dip these Gingerbread OREO Truffles! Their favorite part of helping is placing the decorative gingerbread man sprinkle on top of each truffle.
Let me show you how easy these OREO truffles are to make!
FIRST:
Using a 1-Tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop filling into level tablespoon amounts. Roll into a ball, and place onto a cookie sheet to chill.
THEN:
Dip the chilled balls into the melted chocolate, scoop out using a fork, and scrape off excess chocolate on the side of the bowl.
TO FINISH:
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!
Cook’s Note – Gingerbread Oreo Truffles:
- These OREO truffles will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- You can freeze these OREO truffles, just 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- Gingerbread Oreo Truffles:
My favorite white chocolate for dipping is Ghirardelli.
I used a holiday sprinkle mix for these cookie balls. Or you can use these.
This cookie scoop makes rolling these uniform balls so much easier!
These are cute little packages for gifting these Gingerbread OREO Truffles.

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

Did you use the golden oreos or chocolate oreos?
Jillian
Golden Oreos. Sorry about that, I have not updated the post and recipe to reflect it!
Hannah
Can you tell me where you got those gorgeous sprinkles?!
Hannah
Oops. I see it now! 🙂 hehe

Where did you get the mini gingerbread men on the top of the truffles
Jillian
I got them off of Amazon: (affiliate link) http://amzn.to/2hnGevK
Craft stores like Hobby Lobby or Michael’s might carry them.

Have you tried making something like this but use gingersnap cookies instead of oreos?
Jillian
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!

Hello, did you leave the cream in the Oreo’s or remove it before crushing?
Jillian
Leave the cream in the Oreo’s!
Kaela
