(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Directions
-
Place the Golden Oreos into a food processor and pulse until they turn into fine crumbs.
-
Add the softened cream cheese, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture is well blended. Stop pulsing once fully combined to avoid overmixing.
-
Use your hands to form the pumpkin mixture into balls about the size of a walnut. Roll until smooth and place each truffle onto an unlined cookie sheet.
-
Place the cookie sheet in the freezer for about 20 minutes to let the truffles firm up.
-
While the truffles freeze, melt the white chocolate chips. Place them in a microwavable bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted.
-
Once the truffles are slightly firm, dip each one into the melted white chocolate, using two spoons to fully coat them. Place the coated truffles back on the ungreased cookie sheet.
-
Sprinkle each truffle with crushed graham cracker crumbs for added texture and flavor.
-
Let the truffles cool and set at room temperature, or refrigerate to speed up the process.

FAQs
1. Can I use regular Oreos instead of Golden Oreos?
Yes, you can use regular Oreos, but Golden Oreos give a milder, sweeter flavor that pairs nicely with the pumpkin.
2. Do I have to freeze the truffles before dipping them in chocolate?
Freezing the truffles helps them firm up so they hold their shape while being dipped in the melted chocolate. You can skip this step, but it may make dipping a little messier.
3. Can I make these Pumpkin Pie Oreo Balls ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the truffles and store them in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage.
4. How do I melt the white chocolate properly?
Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Alternatively, you can use a double boiler method on the stove.
5. Can I use pumpkin spice instead of pumpkin pie spice?
Yes, pumpkin spice will work as a substitute if you don’t have pumpkin pie spice on hand. Just use the same amount.
6. Can I use a different type of nut or topping instead of graham cracker crumbs?
Definitely! Chopped nuts like pecans, almonds, or walnuts work wonderfully. You can also sprinkle a bit of cinnamon or sugar for extra flavor.
7. How many servings does this recipe make?
This recipe makes 32 truffles, but you can adjust the size of each truffle if you’d like to make more or fewer servings.
8. Can I use a different type of chocolate for coating the truffles?
Yes, you can use milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips instead of white chocolate, depending on your preference.
9. Can I make these Pumpkin Pie Oreo Balls gluten-free?
Yes, as long as you use gluten-free Oreos and ensure all other ingredients are gluten-free, this recipe can be made gluten-free.
10. How long do these truffles need to set before serving?
The truffles need at least 20 minutes in the freezer to firm up before they are dipped in chocolate. After dipping, you can either set them at room temperature or refrigerate them for about 10 minutes to speed up the setting process.
