How to make Pretzel Oreo Balls (Oreo Truffles Stuffed with Salted Caramel)
- In a food processor, finely crush the Oreo cookies until it's a sandy texture, then add it to a Stand Mixer (or large bowl) and set aside.
- Use the food processor to crush 2 cups of pretzels, by pulsing until it's chopped into little pieces.
- To the large bowl of crushed oreos, add the cream cheese and mix until a dough forms. (I used the paddle attachment on my Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer.)
- Add the crushed pretzels to the Oreo dough, and mix until well blended.
- Use a measuring spoon or small cookie scoop to scoop out 1 heaping tablespoon of dough at a time, placing each piece on a large sheet of parchment paper.
- Roll each piece of dough in your hands to form a ball, then flatten it out into a disk shape. Lay it back on the tray, and repeat with the remaining dough.
- Squeeze out about ½ teaspoon of caramel onto the center of each oreo disk.
- Take an oreo disk and fold all sides over the caramel.
- Then roll into a ball. Place each rolled ball onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. (You can watch the VIDEO to see the process.)
- Freeze the tray of oreo balls for about 1 hour, or until very firm.
- Melt the Candy Coating of your choice (according to package instrucions), then roll one ball at a time to completely coat. Place back on a parchment paper lined tray.
- You can drizzle the tops with Salted Caramel and top with crushed pretzels! (The salted caramel is easier to drizzle if you warm the bottle in the microwave for about 15 seconds.)
- Keep refrigerated until ready to eat.
Toppings:
For our batch of Pretzel Oreo Balls, we did a variety of white chocolate coating and dark chocolate coating (using Ghirardelli Melting Wafers).
The white ones were only drizzled with Caramel, and the dark ones had caramel and crushed pretzels.
Both were equally as delicious, but we did like the extra crunch the pretzel topping gave the dark ones!
They may look messy after topping them, but the added bonus is having the leftover sticky, crunchy, chocolatey pieces stuck to the tray!
Storage:
- Refrigerator: Keep these stored in the fridge until ready to eat, because they do have the cream cheese in them. They will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, though I doubt they will last that long! Trust me, they will get snatched up pretty quickly! 🙂
- Freezer: Since we made quite a few batches to figure out the perfect recipe, we did test out freezing these. They still taste just as good after being thawed out! Just make sure to freeze them on the tray first for a couple hours, before storing them in a ziplock or container. It will keep them from sticking together. They can be frozen for up to 3 months!
Enjoy! 🙂

Notes
Don't have a Condiment Squeeze Bottle? You can use a large ziplock bag. Just place the large ziplock inside of a large cup or jar and fold the sides over the top. This makes it easy to fill it up with the caramel. Then pull it out and cut a small hole in a corner so that you can easily squeeze some out. Or you can purchase a pack linked below! We love using them for homemade Taco Shop Hot Sauces too. 🙂
