How to Make No Bake Oreo Cake Pops
Step 1. Use your food processor to crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs.
Tip: If you don’t have a food processor, add the cookies to a Ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin until you have fine crumbs.
Step 2. Add the softened cream cheese to the Oreo crumbs and process until well combined. You can do this step with an electric hand mixer or stand mixer if you’re not using a food processor.
Step 3. Use a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon to measure the cream cheese mixture into bite-sized portions. Roll dough into small Oreo cookie balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 4. Chill the Oreo balls in the refrigerator for at least an hour or up to several hours.
Step 5. Melt the white chocolate chips in a double boiler or in a microwave-safe bowl the microwave until smooth and melted.
Step 6. Insert cake pop sticks or lollipop sticks into each of the chilled Oreo balls.
Step 7. Dip them into the melted chocolate, swirling to coat it evenly. Tap off any excess chocolate and return to the cookie sheet.
Step 8. While the white chocolate is still soft, sprinkle candy sprinkles over the Oreo cake balls.
Step 9. Refrigerate the cake pops for 10-15 minutes, or until the white chocolate transforms into a hard chocolate shell. Serve the Oreo cake pops chilled. Enjoy!
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Oreo Pop Variations and Add-ins
- Sprinkles: One of the easiest ways to change up the way these colorful cake pops look is to use sprinkles in a different color. You can use red or pink for Valentine’s Day, red and green for Christmas, or you can use sprinkles that are the color of your favorite team for game day.
- Chocolate coating: We used white chocolate bark, but you can use white chocolate chips or candy melts. You can also change up the flavors by using dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Colorful chocolate: If you want to make super colorful Oreo pops, you can add a little gel food coloring in the melted white chocolate chips. I like to swirl it just enough to be mixed but leave streaks. This gives the cake pops a pretty marbled look.
- Oreo cookie crumbs: We used regular Oreos to make these chocolate cake pops but for a fun twist you can use Golden Oreos, Mint Oreos, or any of your favorite flavored sandwich cookies.
- Peanut butter chocolate pops: Mix some creamy peanut butter into the Oreo mixture for an irresistible peanut butter and chocolate combination. If the mixture seems a little loose, just add a few more crushed Oreos.
- Nutty Oreo pops: Stir in chopped nuts like almonds, pecans, or hazelnuts to add a subtle nutty texture.
What Can I Do if My Oreo Mixture is Too Sticky?
The dough should feel slightly sticky but if it is too sticky or won’t hold its shape just add more crushed Oreos, a little at a time. Also, to help them firm up, make sure you allow enough time for the Oreo balls to chill in the refrigerator.
How do I Prevent My Cake Pops from Falling off the Sticks
To prevent cake pops from falling off the sticks during the dipping process, be sure to give the cake pops time to chill and firm up. Gently twist the stick into the cake pop, then dip it into the melted chocolate. If they still aren’t staying on, use the melted chocolate as a glue by dipping the stick in a little chocolate before inserting it into the Oreo ball.
Why is My Candy Coating Cracking?
Chocolate bark or candy melts will give you the best results and typically won’t crack when set up. If you’re using chocolate chips that aren’t the best quality, try adding a small amount of vegetable oil or shortening to the melted chocolate to help give it a smoother consistency.

Notes
- If you don’t have a food processor, add the cookies to a Ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin until you have fine crumbs.
- If your Oreo balls are falling off the stick before dipping them, dip the end of the stick into melted chocolate, then push it into the Oreo ball. The chocolate will act as a glue to hold the ball on the stick.
