Let’s Chit Chat!
I have such a soft spot for quick, easy no-bake recipes, especially around busy holidays like Valentine’s Day. Between work, content, and everyday life, I love desserts that feel festive without requiring a ton of effort or oven time.
These Valentine Oreo truffles are extra fun because you get to dip the Oreo balls in colorful candy melts, decorate them with sprinkles, and make them look bakery-cute in minutes. It’s honestly one of those recipes where the decorating is just as enjoyable as eating them, especially if you’re making them with kids or prepping treats to gift.
Pro tip: using a chocolate dipping fork tool makes coating the truffles so much easier and keeps the melted chocolate smooth and mess-free (this is the one I use and love ).

How to make Pink Oreo truffles
This is how you can make this easy treat. Make sure to scroll down to the recipe card for the full detailed instructions!
- Pulse the oreos in a food processor until crumbly. You will want to crush cookies and fillings as well.
- Add in the cream cheese and mix again until fully combined.
- Roll 30 equally-sized 1-inch balls (I like using this small cookie scoop), place them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet, and freeze for 30-60 minutes or until the balls are solid. This will help keep the truffles intact as you dip them in chocolate.
- Melt the pink candy melts in a medium microwave-safe bowl in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring each time.Dip the Oreo balls in the melted candy melts and roll it around to coat with a fork or a chocolate dipping tool then pull it out.
- Gently shake off the excess candy coating and place the golden Oreo truffles back on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with some crushed-up Oreos, or sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet, or drizzle chocolate on top and chill in the fridge for at least 10 minutes to set again.
- Keep these truffles refrigerated at all times, but you can keep them fresh in the fridge for up to 6 days.
Pro tips for the perfect Valentine’s day Oreo truffles
- Work in batches: Only take a few truffles out of the freezer at a time to keep them cold.
- Use softened cream cheese: This ensures a smooth and lump-free mixture.
- Don’t skip chilling: Freezing the truffles before dipping helps them stay firm and intact.
