Looking for an easy three-ingredient holiday sweet treat? Well, these Christmas Oreo truffles are just that! Crushed Oreos mixed with cream cheese, dipped into chocolate, and decorated with sprinkles.
Sometimes, the holidays require an easy-to-make sweet treat, and this recipe is just that! In fact, it’s not only easy but also has only three ingredients.
Seriously, that’s it.
Okay, maybe you could count the sprinkles and make it four ingredients, but since I consider those optional, I’m sticking with my three-ingredient statement.
These little Christmas Oreo truffles offer a deep chocolate flavor rolled up into a sweet ball dipped in chocolate and decorated with sprinkles. They are incredibly easy to make and even easier to eat, making them the perfect addition to your holiday dessert tray!
I like to dip mine in semisweet chocolate, but you can mix it up with white chocolate, dark chocolate, or a drizzle of both!

Ingredients needed

- Cream cheese
- Melted chocolate
Best Oreo cookie to use
The great thing about this recipe is that it’s super customizable!
For this recipe, I used classic Oreo cookies, but you could also use golden Oreos, gingerbread-flavored Oreos, or even mint Oreos.
For summertime, I could see lemon Oreos as a great substitute!
Remember that the bulk of the flavor comes from the cookie, so if you replace the classic chocolate cookie with something different, you’ll change the whole flavor of the cookie.
How to store Oreo truffles?
If you have any leftover Christmas Oreo truffles, you should store them in an airtight container for up to a week.
I keep mine in my cold bedroom, but the fridge also works.
You can keep them on the counter, but I find that if you have a warm house, the chocolate stays soft, and they stay fresher if they are kept cold.
Can I freeze Oreo truffles?
Yes! But I like to freeze them without sprinkles as they can run when they start to defrost.
However, that is totally up to you!
