Easy Oreo Truffles
It’s ridiculous how easy, quick, and delicious these oreo truffles are. I’ve made them twice this week already and now I’m fighting the urge to make a peppermint kind after seeing those yummy looking peppermint Oreos today.
I’ve featured these Oreo truffles before as Halloween eyeballs, but I just had to show them again in a more elegant light.
These rich, chocolaty little balls of yumminess has the potential of being one elegant chocolate gift, party favor, hostess gift, or whatever! The color of the chocolate can be changed to suit any occassion and we won’t even get into all the ways you can change up the flavor using different sandwich cookies or add-ins. (strawberry white chocolate shortbread truffles anyone?)
But that’s another blog post, today we are keeping it simple and focusing on the tried and true classic recipe: Oreos, cream cheese, and chocolate!
Now, as you all know, I’m not that grand at decorating things (and yes, piping on chocolate is decorating in my book) So hopefully you will be a little bit neater with your piping and yours will look like they came straight from an upscale gourmet chocolatier. Although I do think a little imperfection give it’s it that hand made from love charm.
Watch me make these easy Oreo truffles from start to finish!

Notes
TIPS
Create any color you want by dying white chocolate with food coloring!
Sprinkle on chopped nuts or rolls the truffles in cocoa powder for a different look!
This works with all sandwich cookies so try changing it up! (use peanut butter sandwich cookies)

Thank you soooo much, Monique! I’m 17 years old and one of my friends was having a gathering…so I really wanted to bring a dessert! I went on a Divas Can Cook recipe-trying escapade over the summer lol and this was the PERFECT dessert to make for the get-together! My friends loved it! We’ll be having another gathering and one of my friends keeps callin’ to make sure I bring Oreo Truffles!!! I wanted to know though, right now I’m not with my food processor, I only have my blender. Is it possible to crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a blender instead? Love you and your recipes!
Aloha! Iʻm not sure how I stumbled into your website but Iʻm SO glad I did. Iʻm always looking for new ideas and recipes since the people I know absolutely love sweets. I got a feeling Iʻll be visiting more often. I canʻt wait to try it and we say here in Hawaiʻi, MAHALO! =)

Un, yeah, you can’t dye white chocolate with normal food coloring. It makes the chocolate seize up and renders it unusable. You could possibly use powdered food
coloring, but your best bet would be candy melts.
