I’ve been making Oreo cookie truffles for years, and they’re still a favorite in our household. The combination of creamy filling, crunchy cookies, and rich chocolate is a match made in heaven.

I love how easy it is to make them – just crush some Oreos, mix with cream cheese and butter, shape into balls, and dip in melted chocolate. My kids adore helping me make them, and they’re perfect for a quick dessert or snack.

Plus, they’re surprisingly easy to make healthier by using low-fat cream cheese and dark chocolate. We often make them for special occasions like birthdays and holidays, but they’re also a staple at family gatherings and potlucks.

The best part? They’re ridiculously easy to customize with different flavors and toppings – my kids love adding sprinkles or chopped nuts to make them more fun.

Over the years, I’ve tweaked the recipe to make it even more delicious and convenient. Now, I’m excited to share my secrets with you so you can enjoy these tasty treats in your own home.

🥘Ingredients

For the Truffles

18 Oreo cookies
8 oz cream cheese
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate
1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Coating

12 oz semi-sweet chocolate

👨‍🍳Directions

1Crush 18 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or place them in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.
2Set aside 2 tablespoons of the crushed cookies for coating later.
3The Oreo crumbs should be fine and uniform.
4In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining Oreo crumbs and 8 oz of softened cream cheese.
5Mix until well combined and the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps.
6This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
7Add 1 tsp of vanilla extract and mix again until just combined.
8Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, roll the Oreo mixture into bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
9Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes.
10The truffles should be firm to the touch.
11While the truffles are chilling, melt 12 oz of semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl.
12Microwave at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
13This should take about 1-2 minutes.
14Remove the truffles from the refrigerator and dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated.
15Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
16Sprinkle the reserved Oreo crumbs onto the truffles while the chocolate is still wet.
17The chocolate should be shiny and smooth.
18Allow the truffles to set at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is firm.
19For a quicker set, place the truffles in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes.
20The truffles should be firm to the touch and the chocolate should be set.

📝Notes

Tips: For a fun twist, you can roll the truffles in crushed nuts or sprinkles instead of Oreo crumbs.

Oreo cookie truffles are always a good idea for any occasion. I love making them for family gatherings because they are easy to prepare and always a crowd-pleaser. They are perfect for holiday parties, potlucks, or even as a special treat for your kids.

Plus, they are a great way to use up any leftover cookies or cream cheese. I always make sure to have a batch in the fridge just in case. They are easy to make and the kids love to help.

I recommend making a large batch and freezing some for later. They are a great dessert option for any occasion and are always a hit with my guests. They are a great way to impress your guests without spending too much time in the kitchen.

Plus, they are a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth without resorting to unhealthy options.

Q: What kind of Oreos are best for this recipe?

A: You can use either original or double-stuff Oreos for this recipe – the creamier filling will give your truffles a richer taste.

Q: Can I use other types of cookies instead of Oreos?

A: While Oreos are the classic choice for this recipe, you can experiment with other types of cookies like peanut butter cookies or chocolate sandwich cookies. Just be aware that the flavor will change slightly depending on the cookie type.

Q: How do I ensure my truffles stay firm in the chocolate coating?

A: To prevent your truffles from becoming too sticky or falling apart in the chocolate coating, make sure to chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before dipping. This will help them hold their shape better.

Q: Can I store these truffles in an airtight container at room temperature?

A: It’s best to store your truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh for longer. If you store them at room temperature, they may become too soft or develop off-flavors.

Q: Are Oreo cookie truffles suitable for kids’ parties?

A: These truffles are perfect for kids’ parties – not only do they taste amazing, but they’re also super easy to eat while running around or playing games.
