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)

I can’t say I adore these cause they were way too sweet for me to handle but at the same time, they’re really good. LOL. I love your recipes ♥
Hi Monique:-) Let me first say that I love, love, love your site and recipes. You have been a life saver for me at times when I am at a loss for what to cook for my family. Tell me something, I live in a place where Original Oreo Cookies come in various sized packages, 5.25oz., 11.25oz., 15.25oz., 16oz.,18oz. (we have too many choices, I know), can you share with us please the size used in this recipe? Thanks a bunch now and for your continued work bringing us such awesomely delicious and easy recipes!
Hi Monique. I love this recipe and would like to make it as a treat this Chinese New Year. Since I want to make these to store, I would like to know how long these truffles can last. Thanks!
Hello, Monique! I am 17, have always loved & been interested in cooking, and finding your blog/videos has been the greatest thing to happen to me LOL! I absolutely LOVE your recipes! I went on a Divas Can Cook cooking escapade while at my mother’s for the summer! I made the Oreo Truffles and they were amazing! Is it possible to use a blender instead of a food processor to crush the Oreos into fine crumbs ’cause right now I don’t have the food processor? Thanks! xoxo 🙂
I LOVE this recipe!! I wanted to know where can i get containers like that from to put the truffles in!!
Thank you for this recipe! I can not wait to make these and brag to my “frenimies” about how I made these amazing truffles (;
