Oreo Truffles Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 package OREO Cookies (about 30 cookies), finely crushed
  • 1 package (8 oz) Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened
  • 2 packages (8 squares each) Bakers Semi-Sweet Chocolate, melted

Other Materials

  • Parchment Paper
  • Baking Sheet
  • 2 spoons

How to Make Oreo Truffle Balls

  • Crush Oreos, a food processor or food chopper chops it fine. If you don't have a food processor, use a ziploc and smash the Oreos until the Oreos are very fine. Reserve about 2 Tablespoons on side for sprinkling on the top.
  • Mix crushed Oreos and the cream cheese until well blended.
  • Roll into 1 inch balls. You can use a small scoop or Tablespoon to make them more uniform in size.
  • Refrigerate the Oreo Balls for an hour or 30 minutes in the freezer. This will help keep them from falling apart in the chocolate when you are dipping.
  • Heat the chocolate until until just melted in a double boiler or microwave.
  • Roll the truffle balls in chocolate with two spoons. Allow excess chocolate to drip into the bowl with the chocolate and then place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Sprinkle some of the reserved Oreo crumbs on the top.
  • Refrigerate until ready to eat.

Variation on Oreo Truffle Balls

  • Use Sprinkles for different holidays or occasions. Sprinkle immediately after making each or the sprinkles may not stick. Very helpful to have the kids doing the decorating.
  • Use Vanilla Oreos and white chocolate coating.
  • Use Mint Oreos and color white chocolate green for St. Patrick's Day or Christmas.

Tips for our Oreo Truffle Balls

  • Don't use Double Stuffed Oreos...just makes it too sticky with the extra filling.
  • Don't forget the step to refrigerate for an hour or the freezer for 30 minutes before dipping in chocolate.

Storing Oreo Truffles

Since they have cream cheese in it, these must be refrigerated. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
