How To Make Oreo Peanut Butter Balls
- Pulse the Oreos in a food processor until fine crumbs form.
- Combine the Oreo crumbs with creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar in a large mixing bowl. Then mix at low speed to fully incorporate.
- Portion out the Oreo Ball filling onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Then transfer it into the freezer to firm up the filling for dipping.
- Melt the chocolate wafers until smooth.
- Roll the chilled Oreo balls in the palm of your hands until they become round. Then dip them in the melted chocolate and place them on the baking sheet to allow the chocolate to set.
Storage Instructions For Oreo Peanut Butter Balls
The ingredients don’t require these Oreo Peanut Butter Balls to be stored in the fridge, however, the filling does tend to turn soft. This can lead to cracked chocolate shells if they’re left at room temperature for too long.
So, storing the Truffles in the refrigerator is best, but not absolutely necessary.

Steps
Add the Oreos to a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form.
Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a large mixing bowl with the peanut butter and beat to combine. Add in the sugar and mix at low speed until sugar is just incorporated then increase speed to thoroughly combine.
Use a medium cookie scoop to portion out the mixture onto two parchment-lined baking sheets and freeze for 30 minutes.
Near the end of the 30 minutes, add half of your melting wafers to a wide-mouthed glass or deep bowl and microwave at 30-second intervals until fully melted.
Remove one of the pans from the freezer and roll the portions between your palms to create round balls and drop the balls one at a time into the melted chocolate. Use a spoon to coat the top and a spiral dipping tool or fork to remove, let any excess chocolate drip off before placing back on a fresh parchment-lined-baking sheet. If you notice the balls getting too soft to dip, switch them out for the pan in the freezer and dip some of those, then switch back until all have been dipped.
Notes
- These do not need to be refrigerated due to the ingredients, however, the peanut butter mixture can get soft inside and crack the chocolate if left at room temperature too long, so storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator is best, but not necessary.
- You are using regular whole Oreos, not just the cookies.
