Oreo Truffles

These are kind of the most ridiculously addictive and amazing chocolate-y treat that I’ve ever made.  These were my gift to the teachers, my mom’s friends, my neighbors, the staff at both schools and everyone else I could give them to so that I wouldn’t eat EVERY SINGLE ONE this past Christmas :-)

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 took these up to the elementary school twice in two weeks last year and I had people stop me in the halls wanting the recipe, or asking me to make more. ;-)

*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!!!

Oreo Truffles

Oreo Truffles

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

  1. Using a food processor or plastic bag and a rolling pin - turn the oreos from the package into crumbs (yes, cream and all)
  2. In a large mixing bowl; blend the softened cream cheese with the oreo crumbs until a thick mixture is formed
  3. Form 1" balls and place on a parchment paper lined tray, freeze for at least one hour.
  4. 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.
    5. 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
  5. 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
  6. Store in the freezer or refrigerator if not serving immediately
