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?
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. 
double batch pictured… double batch recipe given
- 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. ( I don’t have a food processor
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 paper
4. 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.

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
Melissa´s last blog ..What’s wrong with me? Let’s start here.
That’s a great idea, Melissa! Do they stick to your scoop? Do you use anything to keep them from sticking to your scoop?
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. It’s like this one! http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000VLPNA/ref=asc_df_B0000VLPNA988929?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=googlecom09c9-20&linkCode=asn&creative=380341&creativeASIN=B0000VLPNA

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.

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!)

LUMPS?
Oreo Lumps? LOL!
Although, yes.. we’ll eat them no matter what their name
I just grabbed a package of Oreos at the store the other day so I could make these. They sound so yummy!

my mouth is all watery and stuff.
it sounds so easy. there are no calories, i’m assuming. right? RIGHT???
Calories.. what are these calories you speak of? I know not of them. *wink, wink*
This is my go to truffle recipe every holiday. The truffles are even better if you use Mint Oreos, just sayin’…

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.
Hoo-ray! for easy AND delicious!!!
Oh they look so good! Thanks I’ll try them.
These are also great if you dip in white chocolate or almond bark instead of the milk chocolate! Making some this weekend!
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.
Yes ma’am.. filling and all
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?
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!
oh man you got me at oreos mixed with cream cheese-sounds tooooooo goooood!!!!
We are snowed in today so it’s cooking time!!
I hope I had enough stuff to make these!
Making these tomorrow – so excited!!!
I’m going to make these but use candy cane oreo’s from trader Joes! I can hardly wait!
They are SOOO good with the candy cane oreos
aha! i knew i’d find them here!!

Those sound outrageously good. I will NOT be making these because I will be forced to eat them ALL in just a couple days. Although I’m sure my husband will put a good dent in them too….he’s a chocoholic!!
Love your blog…I’m a Texas girl myself so it’s always nice to get a few more Southern tips!!

Should these be kept in the refridgerator because of the cream cheese, or just at room temp?
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!!
Oh my good gracious! I LOVE the raspberry extract idea!! I’ve used other flavorings but not Raspberry!
YUM!!
thanks for the idea!!!
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!
