Whip up these no-bake snickerdoodle truffles for a fun treat anytime you want. Each bite blends cinnamon with golden Oreo cookies and a sweet vanilla shell you honestly won’t be able to stop eating.

Ingredients

  • Sprinkles (as much as you want): If you’re feeling festive, toss some on top before the coating hardens.
  • 16 ounces vanilla almond bark: This melts into that classic smooth outside for your truffles.
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon: You’ll get that snickerdoodle taste plus a cozy kick from this spice.
  • 36 golden Oreo cookies (14.3-ounce package): Crush these up for that delicious buttery base.
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened: Cream cheese holds it all together so your mix forms truffle balls.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Vanilla adds another level of flavor.

Instructions

Step 7:
Before the coating stiffens up, sprinkle those truffles if you want. Pop them back in the fridge for another hour so they’re totally set before you dig in.
Step 6:
Grab a fork or a fancy dipping tool and dunk each truffle into the melted bark. Let any extra drip off and set them back on the tray.
Step 5:
Heat the vanilla almond bark in the microwave, stopping every 30 seconds to give it a good mix, till it’s all melty and smooth.
Step 4:
Scoop and roll the mix into 1-inch balls, set them on your prepared pan, then chill them in the fridge about an hour to make them less sticky.
Step 3:
Toss the crushed cookies in a bowl with the soft cream cheese, cinnamon, and vanilla. Use your mixer so it’s all smooth with no big chunks left.
Step 2:
Throw the golden Oreos in your food processor and pulse until they look like crumbs. You might have to do it in shifts if your processor is small.
Step 1:
Cover a baking tray with parchment, then leave it off to the side until you need it.

Serving and Storage Tips

  • If you’re giving them away, pop them in a cute bag or little box to spread the love.
  • They’re best cold if you like them firmer. But you can eat them at room temp too.
  • Keep them in a lidded container in your fridge for about a week.

Helpful Notes

  • Make sure to give your truffles some fridge time before dipping so they won’t fall apart in the coating.
  • Kick up the cinnamon and use 3 teaspoons if you want more spice flavor.
  • No vanilla almond bark? Chocolate chips work for the coating in a pinch.

Tips from top chefs

  • Martha Stewart says a pinch of sea salt balances the sugary bite perfectly.
  • Jamie Oliver likes to roll them in cinnamon sugar for extra flavor before the outside goes on.
  • Ina Garten swears by using really good vanilla extract for that next-level taste.

Why You'll Love This

  • Super simple to make, so even if you’re new to the kitchen, you’ll nail it.
  • They’re creamy inside, with a big cinnamon flavor that’s just awesome.
  • Great as a party treat, for the holidays, or wrapped up for your favorites.

Variations

  • You can dust these with cinnamon sugar or graham cracker crumbs before dunking them for some crunch.
  • Try swapping in chocolate almond bark if you're curious about a twist.
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg for an even cozier spice vibe.

Ingredients

01 16 ounces of vanilla almond bark.

04 36 golden Oreo cookies (14.3-ounce pack).
05 Sprinkles if you'd like.
06 8 ounces of softened cream cheese.

Instructions

Step 01

Get a sheet pan and cover it with parchment paper, then set it aside.

Step 02

Use a food processor to crush the cookies into fine crumbs. You might need to do this in smaller portions.

Step 03

In a large bowl, mix the cookie crumbs, cream cheese, vanilla, and cinnamon until they’re fully combined.

Step 04

Scoop out the mixture and roll it into balls about an inch wide. Place them on the prepared sheet.

Pop the tray into the fridge for a minimum of one hour to let them firm up.

Step 06

Microwave the vanilla almond bark in short bursts of 30 seconds, stirring each time, until it’s smooth and melted.

Step 07

Dip each ball into the melted almond bark. Use a fork or dipping tool and let the extra drip off before putting it back.

Step 08

Go ahead and sprinkle them right away, before the coating hardens, if you're using sprinkles.

Step 09

Return the dipped truffles to the fridge for another hour until they’re fully set for serving or storing.

Notes
