This is what our group will be enjoying for dessert tonight at our Trunk or Treat…
This will be a quick post as I wasn’t planning to post these until tomorrow, but many of you on Facebook have asked if I could share today, here you go! There were actually really easy to make. Oh and ridiculously delicious.
I used Joy Mini Cones (found at Walmart) and my Kupcake Konz pan. I will say that having this pan probably makes it much easier, but you can still make these without and possibly sit them in a mini cupcake pan (it just helps stabilize them).
You could also make cake pops to use with these. I personally prefer the taste and no-bake prep of the Oreo Truffles.
The ingredients are quite simple:
- Oreos
- Softened cream cheese (8 oz block)
- Candy Coating (melts, almond bark, whatever your favorite chocolate coating is)
- M&Ms and sprinkles.
- Mini Joy Cones
To make a full batch, some people use the entire bag of Oreos and entire block of cream cheese. I almost always cut back on the cream cheese, I start with half a block of cream cheese and add a little more at a time to get the consistency I want (very easy to mold but not soggy). I usually use about 3/4 of an 8oz block of cream cheese to standard size package of Oreos.
Take the Oreos for a spin in the food processor.
Poor the crumbs into a bowl. Add your cream cheese.
Ready to get your hands dirty? Mix that cream cheese in by hand. It’s gooey and messy and you have to work it for a bit, but eventually you will get this…
Resist eating the giant ball of Oreo truffle dough. It’s hard, I know.
Roll the dough by hand into balls that are about the size of a golf ball.
After making the truffles, I stuck them in the fridge and got my cones out and lined up. I pulled the truffles out of the fridge, dipped each cone in melted chocolate coating, dipped the bottom of each truffle in the chocolate and put them together (one at a time, not dip all the cones then dip all the truffles). You are not dipping the entire truffle at this point, just the cone where you attache your truffle. This helps make sure that the truffle will stick to the cone.
Now stick these in the fridge to really chill. Don’t skip this step, it’s what’s going to attach those truffles to the cones. Once they are nice and cooled, pull them out and dip each one (quickly) into your chocolate coating then let sit to set up and dry.
Next I just spooned a bit of orange chocolate coating on top of each, topped with M&M’s and sprinkles. That’s it. Really easy. Cake pops without the stick headache! As long as you make sure to take time to dip your cones and bottoms of the truffles into chocolate and let them set up in the fridge, your pops should stay put on the cone when you dip them (but again, move quickly when dipping – if you hold it upside down for a minute or two, gravity is going to get the best of you).
Yum yum yum! I do store mine in the fridge (I get a bit worried about cream cheese stored at room temp). Enjoy!

Jocelyn @BruCrew Life says
These are stinkin adorable!!!! And I have to say I love the no bake of oreo truffles over cake pops any day too:-)
Lynne @ 365 Days of Baking says
Christi, these are really cute and I love the idea of the no-bake! So much easier.
sally @ sally's baking addiction says
freaking adorable Christi! I love how clever you are and wish we could have a baking date one day – lots of chocolate covered pretzels, pumpkin cookies and cake pops! Happy Halloween xo!
sue @ cakeballs, cookies and more says

Katrina @ In Katrina's Kitchen says
All kinds of adorbale here 🙂 I neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed a pan like that. Santa…
Debra says
Those are amazing.
Karen Murphy says
I dropped them all over the floor they were to top heavy.
sara says
so cute, love this idea! I know you posted this a while ago, but I was just curious if you had a specific brand/ flavor of “chocolate coating” that you recommend? thanks!
Christi @ Love From The Oven says
Sara, I like Candiquik for vanilla and chocolate and Merckens for the colored chocolates. 🙂
Mary Beth North says
This is awesome!! I love oreo truffles and I have a girlfriend that wants some I bet she would love it this way too.
Few questions.. where do you get the small cones, and the small cone holder? LOVE IT!! Great job!!
capturing joy with kristen duke says
Love this! Just pinned…
Heather says
Do you think it will work with different type of cookies say chocolate chip
Christi says
Heather, it will work with sandwich cookies such as Oreos, because you have middle and filling where you put the stick. I’m sure you could do it with chocolate chip cookies, but you’d need to use candy coating between the cookies to hold the sticks in place prior to dipping them. I’d look for fairly thin cookies or you’ll have some really big cookie pops! 🙂
Jessica Horn says
Quick question…how many cones will this receipe make? 24? I’m going to make these for my daughters 4K class and there are 16 kiddos. Just wondering if I will need to double the receipe or not. Thanks!
Christi says
Jessica, I would probably double it to be safe. You can really make the Oreo balls whatever size you want, so in reality you can make as many or as few as you like, but I’d probably err on the side of having too much. If you did 1 and and half of the recipe, that would probably be ideal. Good luck!
Joy says
Those look perfect! Where did you get that pan? I have to get one like that!
Stephanie says
Just quick tip ….ifyouare using a miniature muffin tray they will be wobbly and top heavy when you add the truffle to the cone. Instead of forming them in a ball I made mine conical to lower the center of gravity. Basically, the truffle has a pointy end on one side and looks rough des when put in the cone.
