Adorable Turkey OREO Cookie Balls for Thanksgiving - This no-bake chocolate truffle recipe is easy to make and customize for any holiday or occasion.

turkey oreo cookie balls recipe thanksgiving

You know, I feel like Thanksgiving doesn't get enough love when it comes to cute & creative recipes and desserts. Now that Halloween is over, I've fast-forwarded all of my energy into the holidays with grand ideas for Christmas goodies and treats that are sure to "WOW" my friends and family.

But then there's Thanksgiving— sure, we usually have pumpkin pie, but it doesn't get more exciting that except for a little bit of whipped cream and maybe a side of ice cream. Thanksgiving has become so vanilla. At least in our home.

This year I decided to change that when I came across a recipe for OREO Cookie Balls. First, let that sink in for a second— OREO. Cookie. Balls. How I'm just finding out about this recipe me is beyond me. Apparently, it's been circulating for YEARS!

As I've recently learned, OREO Cookie Balls are the most delicious thing you can put in your mouth. Imagine a decadent chocolate truffle made from OREO cookies. Because you roll these little delights into balls, the opportunities for decorating are virtually endless. I choose to make my first batch of OREO Cookie Balls into cute little turkeys in honor of Thanksgiving. I bought all of the ingredients at my local Walmart with the cookies near the dairy aisle — and the best part? THERE ARE ONLY 3 INGREDIENTS!

I know you're just dying for the recipe— This is the basic recipe for OREO Cookie Balls before decorating. See below for how to decorate Turkey OREO Cookie Balls.

Thanksgiving Turkey OREO Cookie Balls Recipe
Author: Stefanie Fauquet
Ingredients
  • Candy eyes 2 for each turkey
  • Candy corn 4-6 candies for each turkey, depending on if you like the 3 or 5 feather look + 1 for beak
  • Mini baking cups one for each OREO cookie ball
Instructions
  1. Once OREO Cookie Balls are prepared & cooled according to the recipe above, place 1 OREO Cookie Ball into each of the mini baking cups. I like using these cups because they are easier to handle and serve.
  2. Place 3-5 pieces of candy corn into each OREO Cookie Ball to resemble turkey feathers. These candies should stick inside and stay without a problem.
  3. Using a little melted chocolate from OREO Cookie Ball recipe, "glue" on two candy eyes.
  4. To make each turkey's beak, cut a piece of candy corn in half. Use melted chocolate to keep it in place under. Chill until ready to serve

      Hi Christie, I picked up my candy eyes at Walmart, but Michael's also sells them. You can also get them on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005BPU1P8/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B005BPU1P8&linkCode=as2&tag=dm07-20&linkId=ACMXQRRGDIZV4H7J

    When you crush up the cookies do you leave the creamy center in or just crush up the cookie part?

    I found that when I tried to put the feathers in, the chocolate cracked. Wondering if it would work better to put candy corn in before cooling? Or maybe I am putting them at the wrong time in the process.

    Is there a substitute you can use for the cream cheese? Maybe frosting?
