Patriotic Oreo Balls are a festive dessert perfect for patriotic holidays. These no-bake treats combine Oreo cookies, cream cheese, and colorful candy melts for a sweet and easy-to-make treat.

  • Total Time: 3 hours
  • Yield: 30 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb 2.12 oz Family Size package Oreo Cookies
  • 8 ounce block cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 12 ounce bag red candy melts
  • 12 ounce bag blue candy melts
  • ⅓ cup Ghirardelli white melting wafers
  • White star confetti sprinkles for topping

Instructions

  1. Line two baking trays with parchment and set aside.
  2. Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor or high-speed blender and pulse into fine crumbs.
  3. In a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer on high speed, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  4. Add the Oreo crumbs to the bowl and mix on medium speed until well combined.
  5. Using a 1.5” cookie scoop, scoop even-sized balls and roll them in your palms to smooth them. Place on the prepared baking trays.
  6. Refrigerate the trays for 2 hours (or freeze for 15-20 minutes if short on time).
  7. Remove one tray. Melt blue candy melts in a double boiler or microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
  8. Dip each ball in the blue melts using a fork, tap off excess, place back on the tray, and sprinkle with star confetti. Refrigerate to set.
  9. Remove the second tray. Melt red candy melts as before.
  10. Dip each ball in the red melts, tap off excess, and place back on the tray.
  11. Microwave white melting wafers in a piping bag, drizzle over red-coated balls, and refrigerate for 10 minutes to set.
  12. Keep refrigerated until ready to eat.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure cream cheese is fully softened before mixing.
  • Work quickly when dipping to prevent the candy melts from hardening.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
