How long do Pumpkin Oreo Balls last in the fridge?

Pumpkin Oreo Balls will stay fresh for about one week in the refrigerator if stored in an airtight container. I like to layer them with parchment paper so they don’t stick together. If you’re making them for a Thanksgiving or fall party, you can easily prepare them a few days ahead — just keep them chilled until serving time.

Can you freeze Pumpkin Oreo Balls?

Yes, absolutely. These freeze beautifully for up to two months . To freeze, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet first. Once solid, transfer to a freezer-safe container or bag. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving. I’ve found they taste just as good after freezing — especially if you let them come to a cool room temperature for a few minutes before eating.

Do I need a food processor to make Pumpkin Oreo Balls?

Nope! If you don’t have one, don’t stress. You can crush your Oreos inside a zip-top bag with a rolling pin or even a can. Then mix in the softened cream cheese by hand or with an electric hand mixer. It might take a few extra minutes, but it works perfectly. I’ve done it this way plenty of times when my food processor was already in the dishwasher.

Instructions

Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by hand in a zip-top bag.
Mix crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese until fully combined.
Roll the mixture into balls and place on the baking sheet.
Freeze for 20 minutes to firm.
Use a toothpick to press lines around each ball to resemble a pumpkin. Freeze for 10 more minutes.
Cut small leaf shapes from Airheads candy using clean scissors.
Melt orange candy melts in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
Dip each truffle in the melted coating and let excess drip off.
Press half a pretzel stick into the top for the stem and add a candy leaf.
Chill the decorated truffles for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, use room-temperature cream cheese and chill thoroughly before dipping. These truffles keep well in the fridge for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
