Oreo Truffles

These are so easy to make and so easy to eat! Cookies and Cream in truffle form. Divine!

40 truffles (approximately) (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Oreo cookies (3 sleeves)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (using different extracts allows for subtle flavour changes...I've used mint extract, upped to 1 tsp) (optional)
  • 1 lb milk chocolate
  • 1/2 lb white chocolate

Directions

  1. 1
    Using a food processor, grind cookies to a fine powder. With a mixer, blend cookie powder, cream cheese and vanilla extract until thoroughly mixed (there should be no white traces of cream cheese).
  2. 2
    Roll into small balls and place on wax-lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate for 45 minutes.
  3. 3
    Line two cookie sheets with wax paper. In double-boiler, melt milk chocolate. Dip balls and coat thoroughly. With slotted spoon, lift balls out of chocolate and let excess chocolate drip off. Place on wax-paper-lined cookie sheet.
  4. 4
    In separate double boiler, melt white chocolate. Using a fork, drizzle white chocolate over balls. Let cool.
  5. 5
    Store in airtight container, in refrigerator.
  6. 6
    Note: When I am exceedingly lazy (most often the case these days), I forego the chocolate 'dip' and merely roll my truffles into various mixtures - chopped nuts, chocolate sprinkles, vari-coloured candy sprinkles, cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, coloured sugars -- still pretty -- less work.

Fab! I've only seen these dipped in white chocolate so I was happy to see this recipe. DS has a nut allergy and we can not use white chocolate so I just made these without and they were just as good.

    These are absolutely fabulous!!!My DH calls them "evil".....extremely rich, easy to make(albeit it time consuming).I made these using Mint flavored oreos and they ended up tasting similar to Marshall Field's Famous Frango MintsThese also make for a very pretty presentation---they look lovely with the white chocolate drizzled over the milk chocolate. Thanks a million--PeggyLynn

    This recipe is excellent! It is not what I expected at all, but it is very good. I used semisweet chocolate instead of milk chocolate on the outside because I wanted the coating to be the same color as the inside. Also, after I swirled the white chocolate on, I mixed some of the leftover melted brown chocolate with the leftover melted white chocolate. It made a slightly lighter brown chocolate that I swirled over the white swirls. The candy looks very professional and tastes great!
