Ingredients
  

Oreo cookie base
  • 36 Oreo cookies Crush to fine crumbs with no large pieces remaining.
  • 8 oz cream cheese Use softened cream cheese for easy mixing and a thick uniform dough.
Coating and decoration
  • 16 oz white chocolate melting wafers Melt according to package instructions until smooth for dipping.
  • 1 Red candy melts Melt separately for thin drizzle lines.
  • 1 Blue candy melts Melt separately for thin drizzle lines.
  • 1 Red, white, and blue star sprinkles Add immediately after drizzling so they stick to the wet coating.

Equipment

  • 1 food processor
  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Make the Oreo cream cheese dough
  1. Crush Oreo cookies in a food processor until they become fine crumbs with no large pieces remaining, then stop the processor and check the texture.
  2. Mix the Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese until fully combined into a thick uniform dough.
Shape and freeze
  1. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined sheet pan in a single layer for even freezing.
  2. Freeze the balls for 30 minutes, until firm enough to dip without losing shape.
Melt and dip
  1. Melt the white chocolate melting wafers according to package instructions until smooth, then keep it warm enough to dip.
  2. Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the white chocolate using a fork, let excess drip off, and return to the parchment sheet.
Drizzle and decorate
  1. Melt red candy melts and drizzle over the coated balls in thin lines, using a steady hand for visible stripes.
  2. Melt blue candy melts and drizzle over the coated balls in thin lines, then immediately top with red, white, and blue star sprinkles while the coating is still wet.
Set and serve
  1. Refrigerate for 30 minutes until fully set before serving, so the drizzle and sprinkles hold their position.

Notes

Pro tip: If your dough feels sticky while rolling, chill it for 10–15 minutes before shaping so the balls stay round. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; freeze yes—freeze in a single layer for up to 2 months, then thaw overnight in the fridge. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free Oreo-style cookies in the same amounts.
