Just the word truffle is enough to turn many people away, but I promise you, this Oreo Truffle recipe is so simple and delicious that you’re going to find yourself creating reasons to make these Oreo Truffles. Really, how can you go wrong with Oreos, cream cheese and chocolate?
The ingredients are simple and few, the directions, simple and few.
The results: mouthwatering, amazing, chocolate-y, rich, delicious and unforgettable. I have taken these up to the elementary school twice in two weeks and I have been stopped in the halls by people wanting the recipe, or asking me to make more.
2 packages oreo cookies
2 (8 oz) blocks cream cheese, softened
4 packages semi-sweet chocolate (8 blocks in each package)
any toppings: crushed candy, toasted coconut, white chocolate, andes mint chips, more crushed oreos
1. Crush the oreos into fine crumbs.
2. Blend the oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese until it forms a sticky, thick mix.
3. Roll into 1″ to 2″ balls (or 1/2″ to 3″ completely up to you) and place on a cookie sheet covered in wax paper4. Refrigerate for at least one hour.
5. While the truffle balls are chilling, slowly melt your semi-sweet chocolate.
6. Drop one or two truffles at a time into the melted chocolate, using forks take them out slowly rotating them to drip off excess chocolate. Place onto wax paper.
*there would be pictures of these steps… but, my hands were covered in chocolate and I love my Canon too much for that
6.5 if you are topping them with oreo crumbs, crushed candy canes, toasted coconut.. this is the time.
6.6 if you want to top them with melted drizzled andes mint chocolate, melted drizzles of white chocolate.. etc… chill them and then top them.
