These Oreo Peanut Butter Truffles are not your average Oreo Ball! A combination of peanut butter, Nutella, Oreo cookie crumbs, and white chocolate make these truffles a decadent and delicious treat you can enjoy any time of year.
We love all things Oreo in our house. From Chocolate Dipped Oreos to a delicious No Bake Oreo Cheesecake, there’s something for everyone!
Why this Recipe Works
Remember this Oreo peanut butter dip I made? Yeah, me too. It was so good that I’ve been thinking about it for awhile now.
In fact, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I had to get it out of my head so I decided to try and make a bite-sized treat based off that dip recipe.
I came up with these Oreo cookie balls and I am so glad I did and you will be too! These are not your everyday, average Oreo Balls.
The Oreo cookie and peanut butter taste is an incredible combo. They go hand in hand together.
If you like traditional peanut butter balls then you will absolutely LOVE these Oreo Peanut Butter Truffles!
Now I have two favorite treats. Rice Krispie Treats and these buttercream truffles!
Easy Instructions
Step 1: In a mixer, blend cream cheese with peanut butter, Nutella, melted white chocolate morsels and powdered sugar. Add in crushed Oreo cookie pieces.
Step 2: Using your hands, roll into one inch balls. Note that the mixture will be crumbly. Your warm hands will help it come together. Place all the oreo cookie balls on a baking sheet, lined with wax paper. Freeze it for one hour.
Step 3: Melt the white chocolate wafers in a microwave safe bowl by cooking for one minute. Stir well and then heat for an additional 15 to 30 seconds until it’s completely melted.
Step 4: Using a toothpick, dip each peanut butter truffle into the melted white chocolate candy coating. Allow any excess to drip off. Place on cookie sheet to set for about 15 minutes. Enjoy!

How to Store Oreo Truffles
These turn out beautiful! You can make these in advance and store them in the refrigerator for up to one week in an airtight container.
There is no way these truffles would ever last that long at my house though! Good luck if you want to keep them around for a few days!
Can I Freeze Oreo Peanut Butter Truffles?
These truffles can be frozen for up to three months, either with or without the white chocolate candy coating.
Make these ahead of time and give them out as Mother’s Day or Christmas gifts, or as a way to welcome a new neighbor into your town! (You’d be the best neighbor ever!)
Tips and Tricks
- Make Oreo crumbs by adding them to a food processor and pulsing for a few seconds. They will crush up pretty quickly. If you don’t have a food processor you can also put the cookies in a Ziploc bag and use a rolling pan to crush them.
- You can also make these Oreo cookie balls and omit the chocolate shell. After all, you still have peanut butter, Nutella and crushed Oreos as part of these yummy cookie balls! Just skip the last step and enjoy these after they harden in the freezer.
- If you are dipping these in melted chocolate, use a toothpick for dipping and then tap off any excess. You can add sprinkles, crushed Oreos, or melted chocolate to the top to cover the toothpick holes.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper so the dipped balls don’t stick.
- If you want to add a color tint to these, make sure to use oil-based food coloring. Wilton candy colors has an oil based one.

What Chocolate is Best for Truffles?
I like to use Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers and Dark chocolate melting wafers for this Oreo truffle recipe.
You could also use a white chocolate or vanilla bark. I heat them in the microwave because it’s fast and easy, but you could also use a double boiler.

I’m obsessed with these truffles!! It was so hard to stop eating them.
This is such an amazing treat! My kids really loved it!
These are my new favorite holiday dessert idea! Thank you!
Do you think I could freeze these?
I took one bite of this after bringing it out of the mixture and I nearly shrieked in pleasant surprise of how wonderfully decadent and delicious the matrix of flavours were! I reduced the cream cheese a little bit since I’m not a huge fan of cheese-cakey flavoured deserts, and froze the truffles to use in a red-velvet-cookie + white chocolate brownie triple layer desert I made for Valentines Day (you can see it here http://twoandahalftablespoons.tumblr.com/post/77339562449/triple-layer-red-velvet-cookie-white-chocolate-peanut 🙂 and most people said your layer was their favourite 😉
2 Cups Sugar????? Are you serious????
I made them today, but without any extra Sugar. Chocolate, peanutbutter, oreos and Nutella are Sweet enought.
They are wonderful! (But cancel the 2 Cups of Sugar!!!!)
I made these for a potluck at work and won 1st prize 🙂
These look absolutely delish. I love buckeyes, and I love oreos. You have made all my dreams come true with one dessert! thank you for the post 🙂

Hi Amy – with the cream cheese in these, do they need to kept in the frig until ready to devour? Thanks – Marcy
I have been obsessed with regular Oreo truffles as of late, but these just take it to a whole new level! I pinned this on Pinterest so I don’t forget to try them.
Hi there, these truffles sound so delicious and so decadent. Thanks for sharing. I have recently found your blog and am now following you, and will visit often. Please stop by my blog and perhaps you would like to follow me also. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Chris
New cook- absolutely! You may want to refrigerate them to get the chocolate to harden, or use a chocolate candy bark. They would still be fantastic either way! I actually contemplated doing them in chocolate, instead of white, but I liked the way they looked with the white. Pure vanity 🙂
I’m not a white chocolate fan – think these would be good coated in milk chocolate?
I do indeed love Buckeyes and Oreos too, so I know I’ll love your marvelous creation!
Thank you for lending your creative spirit to “A Little Birdie Told Me…” at Rook No. 17
