Oreo Truffles are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that combines crushed Oreo cookies with cream cheese, coated in chocolate. These bite-sized treats are perfect for parties, holidays, or as a sweet snack!

Ingredients

• 1 package (15.35 oz) Oreo cookies (crushed)
• 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
• 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips (or chocolate coating)
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (optional, for thinning chocolate)
• Sprinkles or crushed Oreos (for decoration, optional)

Timing

Making Oreo Truffles takes about 15 minutes for preparation and 30 minutes for chilling.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oreo Mixture

1. Crush Oreos: In a food processor, crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Alternatively, you can place them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
2. Mix with Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the softened cream cheese. Mix until well combined and the mixture is smooth.

Step 2: Form the Truffles

1. Shape into Balls: Using your hands, scoop out small portions of the Oreo mixture and roll them into balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place the rolled truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2. Chill: Refrigerate the truffles for about 30 minutes to firm them up.

Step 3: Coat the Truffles

1. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. If desired, stir in vegetable oil to thin the chocolate for easier coating.
2. Dip Truffles: Using a fork or a toothpick, dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off. Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 4: Decorate and Serve

1. Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle crushed Oreos or sprinkles on top of the chocolate before it sets.
2. Chill Again: Return the truffles to the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
3. Serve: Once set, serve the Oreo truffles chilled. Enjoy these delicious treats!
