Oreo Truffles
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?
*Update – 12/21/2011 – I’ve now been making these for 3 Christmases in a row and these are a constant request. Everyone loves them and they’re so much fun to make with the kids or by myself
 I’m updating pictures on old posts, so I removed most of the old ones and put this into a printable format. Hope y’all enjoy! Merry Christmas, y’all!!!
A wonderful holiday treat - these oreo truffles are simple, delicious and sure to put you on everyone's nice list
Ingredients
- 1 packages oreo cookies
- 1(8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
- 1 packages semi-sweet chocolate (8 blocks in each package - or whatever you prefer to melt, I've also used bags of chocolate chips)
- Toppings: crushed candy, toasted coconut, white chocolate, andes mint chips, more crushed oreos
Instructions
- Using a food processor or plastic bag and a rolling pin - turn the oreos from the package into crumbs (yes, cream and all)
- In a large mixing bowl; blend the softened cream cheese with the oreo crumbs until a thick mixture is formed
- Form 1" balls and place on a parchment paper lined tray, freeze for at least one hour.
- Melt your chocolate (adding a dab of shortening often helps when melting chocolate chips) - remove a handful of oreo balls from the freezer at a time, dip them in the chocolate.
Rachel Note - I find that using a large spoon and a fork is the easiest way for me to ensure that the entire ball gets covered in melted chocolate and then transferred with the least amount of mess to another parchment lined tray for cooling
- Once the dipped truffles are on the parchment lined tray, you can allow them to harden, or if topping them with more crushed oreos or crushed peppermint pieces - top while the chocolate is still warm
- Store in the freezer or refrigerator if not serving immediately

Melissa - I use my small cookie/ice cream scoop to get these into balls quickly and non messily. Then I can round them off more if I feel like it, but the scoop lets me get them all done in about 3 minutes without getting it all over my hands

tena - I love these- they are sooo rich- many people can’t handle them. We had them sitting out at a Christmas party all day on Sunday and they had gotten a bit warm and the inside melted in your mouth- they were delish! I know they’re meant to be served cold because of the cream cheese, but I’m a brave woman and I preferred them soft.

Mary @ Giving Up on Perfect - I love these things. A month or so ago, my brother and I were talking about them, but we couldn’t for the life of us remember the word “truffle.” And since calling them “Oreo BALLS” was just too horrible, my brother decided to call them “Oreo LUMPS.”
Truffles sound soooo much better!
(Although, let’s be honest. I’ll eat them no matter WHAT you call them!)

Karen - I made these the other day and I have to say they are by far the best Christmas treat I’ve ever had. In fact, next year, I’m doing away with all the homemade baked goods and just making these.
Kim - Oh they look so good! Thanks I’ll try them.
jennifer - These are also great if you dip in white chocolate or almond bark instead of the milk chocolate! Making some this weekend!
Amy C - I assume that you crush the entire Oreo, filling and all? Just wanted to be sure. You can’t really see any of the Oreo filling in the pictures, but there was no mention of removing it.
Heidi - I just learned how to make these this year and they are amazing. You can also dip them in melted white chocolate bark, which also very good. I thought about trying to make a variation of these with peanut butter or mint extract. Have you ever tried to flavor them in any way?

Rachel - Of course you could make these! They are crazy simple but, they look so very impressive
Rachel - *snort*
<3
Rachel - That’s a great idea, Melissa! Do they stick to your scoop? Do you use anything to keep them from sticking to your scoop?
Rachel - LUMPS?
Oreo Lumps? LOL!
Although, yes.. we’ll eat them no matter what their name
Rachel - Calories.. what are these calories you speak of? I know not of them. *wink, wink*
Rachel - Oh yes
They are delish with mint oreos and candy cane oreos and drizzled with andes mints 
Rachel - Hoo-ray! for easy AND delicious!!!
Rachel - Yes ma’am.. filling and all
Rachel - I have actually used both the mint oreos and the candy cane oreos as the base of these, and/or crushed as topping on top.
I haven’t added peanut butter, but I bet that would be an amazingly decadent addition!!!
If you do try that, let me know!
Rachel - They are SOOO good with the candy cane oreos
Melissa - Nope, I use one that you squeeze and it has the little back and forth part…. Okay apparently that’s one of those things that is awkward to describe.

Jackie - I absolutely love these truffles. So far, I have made them a couple of ways. I’ve dipped them in white chocolate drizzled in dark chocolate, and most recently, dipped them in dark chocolate that had 2 capfuls of raspberry extract. They were out of this world. Just the right amount of raspberry taste, not overpowering at all. Everyone at worked loved them. We even put our heads together to come up with different variations. Instead of the raspberry extract, try orange, or a liquour like frangellica (hazelnut), or chambourde (raspberry flavored for the adults). What a great combination!!
Rachel - Oh my good gracious! I LOVE the raspberry extract idea!! I’ve used other flavorings but not Raspberry!
YUM!!
thanks for the idea!!!
Dawn @ My Home Sweet Home - Yum, yum, yum! I have a friend who does a variation of this with cake mix and cream cheese, so she can make things like red velvet truffles. I’ll try to get that recipe, too. Copying yours!

Bill - Wow. What a story, John. I’m sorry that you and your flmiay had to go through all that, but at least the jury saw through to the truth.
Saravanan - Sorry you all had to go trhough that but glad that is seems to have a silver linig for his future. Maybe he should consider a career with the FBI or ATF. He could help them better identify those with malice and those just that smart and curious. It sounds like he handled himself with incredible maturity and composure. What a neat kid.
