Oreo Truffle Brownie Bombs Recipe
Introduction
These Oreo Truffle Brownie Bombs are a decadent treat combining fudgy brownies with creamy Oreo truffles, all coated in rich chocolate. Perfect for parties or an indulgent snack, they deliver layers of texture and flavor in every bite.
Ingredients
- 1 box fudge brownie mix (plus ingredients called for on the box)
- 2/3 package (about 20) Oreo cookies (regular, not Double Stuf), finely crushed
- 4 ounces (1/2 package) cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 package chocolate almond bark (such as CandiQuik)
- Additional Oreo crumbs for sprinkling on top (optional but recommended)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare the brownie mix according to the package directions for fudgy brownies. Pour the batter into a greased 13×9-inch rectangular baking pan and bake for 19-20 minutes. Insert a toothpick near the center; it should come out clean or with moist (not wet) crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely.
- Step 2: While the brownies cool, prepare the Oreo truffles. In a large bowl, mix the crushed Oreo cookies with the cream cheese using a rubber spatula until well combined and moist. Roll the mixture into tablespoon-sized balls and place them on a foil-lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 30 minutes.
- Step 3: Cut the cooled brownies into 24 equal pieces, trimming off the edges as they are too crusty. Gently flatten each brownie piece in your palm, then wrap it around an Oreo truffle ball, pinching and rolling to fully enclose the truffle. Place the assembled brownie bombs on the baking sheet and freeze for about 30 minutes, until firm.
- Step 4: Melt the chocolate almond bark according to package instructions until smooth. Dip each brownie bomb completely into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off. Place them back on the baking sheet and sprinkle with extra Oreo crumbs or other decorations like sprinkles or a chocolate drizzle if desired. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
Tips & Variations
- Use regular Oreos rather than Double Stuf for the best texture in the truffles.
- Be careful not to overbake the brownies; they must remain fudgy to wrap smoothly around the truffles.
- Try using white chocolate coating or adding a pinch of sea salt on top for a different flavor profile.
- Substitute cream cheese with mascarpone for a slightly lighter, tangier taste.
Storage
Store the brownie bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, keep them frozen for up to 1 month. Reheat slightly at room temperature before serving, or enjoy chilled for a firmer texture.

FAQs
Can I make these brownie bombs ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the brownie bombs completely and store them in the freezer until ready to serve. Just thaw them in the refrigerator before dipping in chocolate and decorating.
What if I don’t have chocolate almond bark?
You can substitute with any melting chocolate like chocolate chips or couverture. If using chocolate chips, add a small amount of coconut oil or shortening to help it melt smoothly.

Ingredients
Brownies
- 1 box fudge brownie mix (plus ingredients called for on back of box)
Oreo Truffle Filling
- 2/3 package (about 20) Oreo cookies (regular, not Double Stuf), finely crushed
- 4 ounces cream cheese (1/2 of an 8-ounce package), at room temperature
Coating and Garnish
- 1 package chocolate almond bark (such as CandiQuik)
- Additional Oreo crumbs for sprinkling on top (optional but recommended)
Instructions
- Prepare Brownies: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Follow the package instructions on the fudge brownie mix to prepare a fudgy batch of brownies. Pour the batter into a greased 13×9-inch rectangular baking pan and bake for 19-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with moist, not wet crumbs. Avoid overbaking, as the brownies need to remain fudgy to properly wrap around the truffles. Allow the brownies to cool completely.
- Make Oreo Truffles: While the brownies cool, combine the finely crushed Oreo cookies and room temperature cream cheese in a large bowl. Mix using a rubber spatula until the mixture is thoroughly blended and moistened. Roll the mixture into tablespoon-sized balls and place them on a foil-lined baking sheet. Freeze the Oreo truffles for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Assemble Brownie Bombs: Cut the cooled brownies into 24 equal pieces, carefully trimming off edges as they are too hard and crusty to work with. Take one brownie square and gently flatten it in your palm. Encase one Oreo truffle ball with the brownie piece, pinching and rolling gently to completely cover the truffle. Place the assembled brownie bombs on a baking sheet and freeze for approximately 30 minutes until they are solid and firm.
- Dip in Chocolate: Melt the chocolate almond bark according to the package instructions until smooth. Dip each brownie bomb in the melted chocolate, fully coating it, and allow excess chocolate to drip off. Transfer them back to the baking sheet using a fork. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle additional Oreo crumbs on top if desired for extra texture and decoration. Optionally, decorate with chocolate or rainbow sprinkles or drizzle extra melted chocolate over the finished bombs.
- Storage: Store any leftover brownie bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain freshness and texture.
Notes
- Use regular Oreos, not Double Stuf, as the texture balances better for the truffle filling.
- Do not overbake the brownies to ensure they remain fudgy enough to wrap around the truffle centers.
- If you prefer a smoother coating, temper the almond bark properly before dipping.
- Freeze the truffles and brownie bombs thoroughly for easier handling during assembly and dipping.
- Substitute chocolate almond bark with high-quality melting chocolate or candy melts if desired.
