Apple OREO Balls are a fun, no-bake dessert made with crushed Oreos, cream cheese, and butter, shaped to look like apples using red candy melts, pretzel sticks, and green fondant. Perfect for teacher gifts, fall parties, or kids’ snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 48 Oreos, family-size package
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1/2 tsp Butter, softened
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 16 oz Red Candy Melts
  • 2 oz Green Fondant
  • 16 Pretzel Sticks (halved)

Instructions

  1. Place Oreos in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form.
  2. Add cream cheese, butter, and vanilla to the crumbs and blend until well combined.
  3. Chill mixture in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm.
  4. Use a 1-inch scoop to form balls, roll and place on wax paper.
  5. Make a small indent on top of each ball and insert a halved pretzel stick as the stem.
  6. Freeze again for 20 minutes to harden.
  7. Roll out green fondant and cut into leaf shapes; set aside.
  8. Melt red candy melts according to package directions.
  9. Dip each ball in the melted candy using the pretzel stem as a handle.
  10. Attach fondant leaves before the coating sets. Refrigerate for 20 minutes until hardened.

Notes

  • Freeze the truffle mix before shaping to make rolling easier.
  • Work in batches when dipping to prevent the candy coating from hardening too quickly.
  • Store in the fridge to maintain shape and texture.
  • Substitute fondant with green M&Ms, Skittles, or cut green taffy for leaves.
  • You can freeze the undipped balls for up to one month.
