Oreo Truffles

These little guys are about as no-fuss as a dessert can be! Wanna spruce them up a bit, make them your own? Check out our suggestions below to give your truffles some pizzaz.

Get Boozy 
Everyone loves a boozy dessert! Try adding a splash (we'd suggest 1-2 tablespoons) of Baileys, Kahlua, or Rumchata to the mix. Try topping the truffles with chopped chocolate-covered espresso beans or a sprinkle of cinnamon-sugar for added effect.

Candy Crush
A bit of crushed candy can add a boost of flavor and color to your truffles! Chopped Reese's Pieces, crushed candy canes (like our favorite Peppermint Oreo Truffles), or some chopped Butterfingers. Make sure to save a little extra so you can top each truffle with some crumbs!

Go Nuts
Peanut butter (or Nutella 😱) would make for some EXTRA delicious truffles. Try using 4 oz. of cream cheese instead, plus a 1/2 cup of your favorite nut butter. Trust us, this addition makes these truffles even more decadent and delicious.

Ingredients

1 (14 oz.) package Oreos 

8 oz. cream cheese, softened

1 tsp. pure vanilla extract 

2 c. white chocolate chips, melted

1/2 c. semisweet chocolate chips, melted

 

Directions

1. Use a food processor to crush cookies into fine crumbs.
2. Add all but 2 tablespoons crushed cookies to a medium bowl. Add cream cheese and vanilla and stir until evenly combined.
3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop, form mixture into small balls. Place on prepared baking sheet and freeze until slightly hardened, about 30 minutes. 
4. Dip the frozen balls in melted white chocolate until coated and return to baking sheet. Drizzle with semisweet chocolate. Freeze until chocolate hardens, about 15 minutes. 

Want to drizzle your truffles with chocolate instead? Melt 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips in the microwave and use a spoon to drizzle over hardened truffles. Place back in the freezer to harden, 10 to 15 minutes, before serving.
