Everyone loves Oreo balls – the delicious no-bake treats made with blended Oreos and cream cheese. And now, we’re taking this classic recipe to a whole new level with our Turtle Oreo Balls! Prepare yourself for a decadent combination of chocolate, caramel, and nuts that will leave you craving for more.
To make these mouthwatering treats, we start by mixing cream cheese with crushed Oreos until it becomes a thick, creamy mixture. But here’s where the magic happens – we add chopped pecans into the Oreo cream cheese mixture and stuff each ball with a piece of Rolo candy. Yes, you heard that right – a delightful surprise in every Oreo ball!
After that, we dip each Oreo ball into melted chocolate and top it off with chopped pecans for a fancy presentation. The result is a heavenly combination of flavors and textures that will satisfy any sweet tooth.

How to Make Oreo Balls
- Blend: Use a mixer to combine crushed Oreos and cream cheese until you get a thick and creamy mixture.
- Add the Goodies: Stir in chopped pecans and mix well. Then, place a Rolo candy in the center of each Oreo ball and shape them into bite-sized balls.
- Dip: Melt chocolate candy coating or almond bark in a pot over low heat. Dip each Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, coating them evenly.
- Top Off: Before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle chopped pecans on top of each ball for an extra burst of flavor and a beautiful presentation.
Storage and Serving Suggestions
To maintain the perfect texture and flavor, refrigerate your Oreo balls until you’re ready to serve them. They taste best when chilled. However, if you prefer, you can leave them at room temperature for up to 2 hours.
If you have any leftovers (though we doubt you will), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Alternatively, you can freeze the Oreo balls for up to 2 months. Simply flash freeze them on a lined baking sheet, then wrap them in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer container or ziplock bag.
So why wait? Treat yourself and your loved ones to these irresistible Turtle Oreo Balls. They’re a guaranteed hit at any gathering or as a special homemade treat. Enjoy!
