Ingredients

36 Oreo cookies (regular, not Double Stuf)
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
1/3 cup pumpkin purée
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of salt
12 oz white chocolate melting wafers or almond bark
Optional toppings:
- Crushed Oreos
- Cinnamon sugar
- Chocolate drizzle
- Orange sprinkles
- Mini chocolate chips
- Edible glitter

Instructions

Crush the Oreos.
Add Oreos to a food processor and blend until you have fine, sand-like crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, place them in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin.
Make the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, pumpkin purée, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
Add the Oreo crumbs.
Stir Oreo crumbs into the pumpkin mixture until a soft dough forms. The mixture should be thick enough to roll without sticking excessively.
Chill the dough.
Freeze the mixture for 20–25 minutes to firm it up before shaping.
Roll into balls.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into smooth balls. Place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Freeze again.
Chill the balls for 15–20 minutes so they don’t fall apart when dipped.
Melt the white chocolate.
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the white chocolate in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.
Coat the truffles.
Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool, letting excess drip off. Return to the parchment-lined tray.
Decorate.
Add sprinkles, Oreo crumbs, or a drizzle of chocolate before the coating sets.
Chill to set.
Refrigerate for 15 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.
Serve or store.
Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week.

Tips for the Best Pumpkin Oreo Balls

Use real pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling

Pumpkin pie filling already contains sugar and spices and will make the mixture too wet.

If the mixture feels sticky, add more crushed Oreos

Pumpkin adds moisture, so add Oreos 1–2 tablespoons at a time if needed.

Chill at every stage

Chilling makes the mixture firmer, easier to roll, and prevents cracking during coating.

Use high-quality melting chocolate

White chocolate chips tend to seize. Use melting wafers or almond bark for a smooth finish.

Variations

1. Pumpkin Spice Latte Oreo Balls

Add 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder to the filling.

2. Dark Chocolate–Dipped Pumpkin Oreo Balls

Swap white chocolate coating for dark or semi-sweet.

3. Halloween Monster Balls

Use candy eyes, neon sprinkles, or food coloring in the chocolate.

4. Maple Pumpkin Oreo Balls

Add 1 teaspoon maple extract to the filling.

5. Gluten-Free Version

Use gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies.

Serving Suggestions

Serve on a fall dessert platter with caramel apples, pumpkin bars, and cinnamon donuts.
Package in decorative fall-themed treat bags for gifts.
Arrange in small paper cups for parties or potlucks.
Add to Thanksgiving dessert boards for a cute bite-sized option.
