Description
These No-Bake Pumpkin Oreo Balls are festive, fun, and delicious! Made with Oreos, cream cheese, orange chocolate, and pretzel sticks, they’re the perfect fall or Halloween party treat.
Ingredients
- 36 Oreos (classic chocolate sandwich cookies, finely crushed)
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 2 cups orange candy melts (or white chocolate with orange food coloring)
- 12 pretzel sticks (broken into small pieces for stems)
- Green icing or candy leaves (for decoration)
Optional: Sprinkles or edible glitter for extra decoration.
Instructions
- Prepare the Oreo mixture – Crush Oreos in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Add softened cream cheese and blend until smooth and sticky.
- Form the balls – Roll mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking tray. Chill in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes until firm.
- Melt the coating – Melt orange candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-second intervals and stirring until smooth.
- Dip the balls – Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled ball into melted candy coating, tapping off the excess. Place back on the tray.
- Decorate – While the coating is still wet, insert a pretzel piece into the top as a stem and add green icing or candy leaves for decoration.
- Set & serve – Let the chocolate harden in the fridge or at room temperature. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- For less messy dipping, use a fork or dipping tool and gently tap against the bowl.
- Chill the Oreo balls before dipping so they hold their shape better.
- If the candy melts are too thick, add a teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable shortening to thin them out.
- Make ahead and refrigerate for stress-free entertaining.
