These no-bake chocolate balls are perfect no matter the time of year because they are quick to make, super affordable and taste delicious. These 3-ingredient chocolate balls were so trendy when I was growing up and is one of my favourite childhood desserts. They used to be the most popular treat at any birthday party while I was growing up, and they taste even better as adults. No matter the occasion, whether it is a New Year’s Eve party or a Valentine’s date, these chocolate truffles will impress.
The no-bake chocolate ball recipe is simple, but it requires a couple of resting periods. However, if you’re short on time, you could skip a couple of these steps. The outer layer is chocolate, and the inside resembles a cake pop but better. Make them festive by adding sprinkles or icing sugar and place them on any dessert table this season.

ingredients
directions
Start by blending Oreos until it’s a fine consistency. If you don’t have a blender, you can crush the Oreos by placing them in a Ziplock and breaking them with a spatula or rolling pin.
In a large bowl, add crushed Oreos and cream cheese. Using your hands, knead the mixture until it’s fully incorporated.
Scoop one tablespoon of the mixture and turn them into balls using the palms of your hand. Place them on a baking sheet and place in the freezer. Let them sit for at least half an hour (or while you complete the next step).
Melt the chocolate. You can do this in the microwave or stovetop, but make sure not to burn it. I suggest melting the chocolate in the microwave and mixing it every 30 seconds until smooth and creamy.
Take chocolate balls out of the freezer, and dip in the chocolate until fully coated. Place in the freezer again.
This step is optional but makes for a pretty chocolate ball. Melt white chocolate in the microwave using the same technique as the milk chocolate, but keep a closer eye on it as white chocolate tends to lump when overheated. We want it to be smooth and runny in consistency.
Take chocolate balls out of the freezer and drizzle white chocolate all over them. You can do this using a fork. Place in the freezer for an hour.
For best results, take the no-bake chocolate balls out of the freezer an hour before eating and leave them at room temperature. If you have any leftovers, you can place them in the fridge. Enjoy!
