No-Bake Turkey OREO Balls
Before you get started, keep this info in mind:
- Makes: About 30 OREO balls
- Prep Time: 30 minutes
- Chill Time: 1 hour
Ingredients:
- 36 OREO cookies, finely crushed (That’s the magic ingredient!)

Let’s Make Some Turkey Truffles!
1. Mix It Up: Blend those crushed Oreos with cream cheese until you’ve got a smooth, dough-like batter.
2. Roll ‘Em: Scoop out the mixture and roll it into small ball shapes. (Roughly the size of a cake pop or donut hole.)
3. Chill Out: Line your dough balls on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and let them chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
4. Dip & Dazzle: Now, let’s get those Oreo balls swimming in melted chocolate! Melt the chocolate chips in a small bowl following the directions on the package. Use a fork or spoon to dip the chilled OREO cream cheese balls into the melted chocolate one at a time. Coat them evenly for a sleek look and place back on the parchment paper.
5. Feather Frenzy: Quickly, while the chocolate’s still in its melty state, press in your candy corn feathers. Try to arrange them in a straight row, across the middle of the dough ball, pointy side DOWN.
6. Face Time: Add 2 candy eyes and an M&M beaks.
