These truffles are super easy to make. I mean shockingly simple. I always thought truffles were off in an impossible realm of fancy pants, pastry chef cooking. But with three basic ingredients you too can harness your inner pastry chef. So join me in making these Chocolate Oreo Truffles!



Here’s the finished result! They turned out really well. My husband took them to work and the reports were awesome!

Like I said, three simple ingredients!

Start by putting all the Oreos in a plastic bag.

Then smash them with a rolling pin!

Put the crushed cookies into your mixer.

Throw the bar of cream cheese into the mixer bowl as well.

Blend up the mixture in your mixer .

Here’s the finished filling. It doesn’t look like much, but its delicious!

Take a walnut sized amount of truffle filling and roll it into a ball. Repeat for the remaining 29 balls. When the balls are done, put them in the refrigerator.

Next, melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler . Unfortunately, I don’t have a double boiler so I just use a metal mixing bowl over a slightly smaller pot.

Here’s the melted chocolate! I also added some vanilla for flavoring and shortening to thin it out a little bit.

Now for the fun part! Drop the balls in the chocolate and mix around with your fork. Then extract, tap on the edge, then scrap the spare chocolate, and place on some parchment paper.

Place the coated balls on some parchment paper on a baking sheet. If I were to do it again, I would pick up a truffle tool to make it a little easier. However it wasn’t too bad to just scrap the truffle off of the first fork with a second fork.

Bailey really wanted a truffle. Unfortunately, chocolate is poisonous to cats …

Mmmm! Here’s the dipped chocolate truffles!

Here’s the Chocolate Oreo Truffles after they’ve been refrigerated!
