I attended a birthday party where my neighbor, Jessica, made these delicious little Oreo Truffles. And after devouring them, I knew I had to ask for the recipe. The Oreo Truffles were good, but I knew they could be even more delicious. For her recipe, she used Double Stuff Oreos and white chocolate chips. I’m not a huge fan of white chocolate so you’ll see my recipe is quite different. The possibilities here are endless too; just pick your favorite Oreo flavor and chocolate chip and call it your own!
Ingredients
- 1 15.25oz pkg Mint Oreos
- 1 8oz pkg reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 12oz pkg semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Place Oreos in a food processor and run until completely crumbled and no clumps remain. Carefully run a rubber spatula along the bottom to loosen any stuck pieces. Add cream cheese to food processor and blend until smooth. Place food processor bowl in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Remove from refrigerator and roll mixture into 1-1/2" balls and place on parchment lined baking sheet.
- Melt chocolate in 20 second intervals (stirring well between each) until chocolate is completely melted.
- Using two forks (plastic works best), dip each truffle in the melted chocolate until completely covered allowing excess chocolate to drain. Return to cookie sheet and repeat with remaining truffles. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Refrigerate leftovers.
Quick Notes
Make sure you don’t over heat your chocolate. Microwave in small intervals and stir well between each until chocolate is smooth. When you’re coating the truffles, if the chocolate gets too thick, microwave for about 10 seconds and see if that helps. If it doesn’t, you can always add 1/2 tablespoon of shortening to the mixture and heat/stir until smooth.
Variations
Change things up a bit by switching out the Oreo and/or chocolate chip flavors.
Whoohoo! Now they will be even more famous! And, yes, the possibilities are endless. I’m thinking one of us should try rolling them in coconut flakes or chopped nuts, next. Ahhhh…..Oreo Bon Bons! So.Delicious!!
Definitely! With my peanut butter passion, I’d like to try that next. 🙂
These look really good! And easy too, perfect fot an after school snack or with hot chocolate in the winter.
Thanks Sunnie! I hope you get the chance to make them. 🙂
Oh yes, I’ve made these before! The.Bomb! I’ve used regular Oreos with mint chocolate chips, so I’m sure they tasted very similar to these…it was just a like a Girl Scouts thin mint cookie!
That is exactly what they taste like! Sooooooo good. 🙂
I would like to freeze these is that possible. Thank you
Yes they freeze very well! I like to store them in the freezer and then eat one when I have a craving for something sweet. 🙂
