Let’s Make our Pot of Gold Oreo Truffles
This section shows you how to make the recipe with step-by-step photos and instructions. For the full printable recipe, see the recipe card below.
First, line a large baking sheet with wax or parchment paper and set aside.
Add the Oreo cookies to a food processor and pulse until they are in tiny crumbs.
In a medium mixing bowl, add the Oreo crumbs and the softened cream cheese. Mix with a spatula until completely blended.
Cover the bowl and chill for 30 minutes for easier handling.
Shape the Oreo mixture into one inch balls and place on the lined baking sheet.
In a double boiler, warm the semi-sweet chocolate chips over low-medium heat. Stir continuously until melted and smooth. You can also melt the chocolate using the microwave in 30-second increments.
Pour the melted chocolate into a smaller bowl for easier dipping.
Using a toothpick, dip each Oreo ball into the melted chocolate and place it back on the baking sheet. Set aside the remaining melted chocolate for later use.
Chill the chocolate-covered Oreo balls for 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
While the Oreos chill, cut each chilled rainbow candy strip into 4 pieces with one straight end and one angled end. Set aside.
Remove the Oreo truffles from the refrigerator and flip each truffle upside down.
Reheat the leftover chocolate and spread a thin layer on the top of a truffle.
Gently press the end of a rainbow piece into the melted chocolate and hold for 10 seconds, or until it sticks.
Sprinkle the rest of the melted chocolate with the gold sugar balls. Then, place it back on the baking sheet to allow the chocolate to harden.
Repeat until all of the truffles have a rainbow and gold.
That’s it! I hope that you enjoy these adorable Pot Of Gold Oreo Truffles and have a very happy St. Patrick’s Day!

I have never had an Oreo or Oreo dessert that wasn’t oh so good. But Oreo Truffles has to be the best and I’m definitely trying these asap!!
St. Patrick’s Day is HUGE at my boyfriend’s house! I made these and they were a HIT! However, the AirHead Xtreme strips don’t stand up like they do in the picture without some type of solid base – I had to lay them somewhat flat to where they hung off the side of the oreo.
