Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• Oreo cookies
• Cream cheese (softened)
• Semi-sweet or white chocolate (for coating)
• Optional toppings: crushed Oreos, sprinkles, melted chocolate drizzle

Directions

1. Crush the Oreos – Use a food processor to crush the cookies into fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a sealed bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
2. Mix with Cream Cheese – In a large bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese. Mix until smooth and well combined.
3. Form the Truffles – Roll the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Chill – Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
5. Melt the Chocolate – In a microwave or using a double boiler, melt the chocolate until smooth.
6. Coat the Truffles – Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate using a fork or a dipping tool, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the truffle back on the parchment paper.
7. Add Toppings – If desired, sprinkle crushed Oreos, sprinkles, or drizzle with additional melted chocolate before the coating sets.
8. Let Set – Allow the chocolate to harden by refrigerating the truffles for about 15 minutes.
9. Serve and Enjoy – Once set, the truffles are ready to be enjoyed!

FAQs

How can I crush Oreos without a food processor?

Place them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin or heavy object until they become fine crumbs.

Can I use double-stuffed Oreos?

Yes, but you may need to slightly reduce the amount of cream cheese since double-stuffed Oreos contain more filling.

What’s the best chocolate for coating?

Use high-quality baking chocolate or candy melts for a smooth, even coating.

How do I prevent the chocolate from cracking?

Ensure the truffles aren’t too cold when dipping into warm chocolate to avoid sudden temperature changes.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes! These truffles store well in the fridge or freezer, making them great for prepping in advance.

Can I use a different cookie instead of Oreos?

Yes! Graham crackers, chocolate chip cookies, or other sandwich cookies can work well as substitutes.

How do I get a smooth chocolate coating?

Use a fork or dipping tool and let excess chocolate drip off before placing the truffle on parchment paper.

What’s the best way to melt chocolate?

A double boiler method prevents burning, but you can also use a microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between.

Can I add extracts or flavors?

Absolutely! Add vanilla, peppermint, or almond extract for extra flavor.

How do I make these dairy-free?

Use dairy-free Oreos and substitute cream cheese with a dairy-free alternative like coconut cream or vegan cream cheese.
