Oreo Cookie Truffle Recipe

If you want to be a total rock star at the next holiday party you attend, make these. I am not joking. People will fall down at your feet.

Trust me-folks are going to leave comments below backing me up on this one.

And they are the easiest thing EVER to make.

Here is the recipe*:

Take one package of Oreos (or in my case about 1 LB of the cheapest off brand version you can pick up at Aldi’s, Save a Lot etc) and throw it in your food processor. Pulverize totally. It should look like sand.

Add an entire block of cream cheese. Pulverize again until it forms a dough-or as I like to call it “oreo mud”.

Put dough in fridge for about 45 min to firm up a bit.

Roll dough into walnut sized balls. Stick in fridge again to firm up.

Melt white chocolate (or regular chocolate) in a double boiler or the microwave.

Dip balls into the chocolate and lay on wax paper to harden.

Tada! That’s it!

Sure, you can get all fancy. Throw some sprinkles or colored sugar on. Drizzle with a contrasting color of chocolate. Knock yourself out.

Admittedly, if you don’t have a big food processor and have to do it in batches, or a few at a time in a blender, then mix it up in a mixing bowl (I’d cut the cream cheese into chunks and let it soften up on the counter first for that) it would be a bit more time intensive and messy.

Plus the chocolate thing takes a little bit. You can eat them without the chocolate dip (Buddy and DH ate plenty that way) but it just makes them SOOOO good.

I usually make this recipe with the chocolate cookies and white filling (dipped in white chocolate), and with the vanilla cookies with white filling (dipped in dark chocolate). I bet if you bought something like nutter butters or those funky new Oreo flavors you would wind up with something that tasted pretty awesome too!

With the store brand cookies and cream cheese the price on these isn’t too bad (more expensive than other cookies that you cook from scratch, but much more decadent too). Of course the chocolate is going to run you the most-so shop on sale for that.

If you have extra melted chocolate left over, try dipping some log style pretzels in it (or regular if that’s what you’ve got). Throw on some sprinkles and it looks like something out of a Harry and David catalog!

OK, for those of you who would like this in actual recipe form to print out, I found the exact same thing at Recipezaar. Just click on Oreo Balls and you’ll be redirected.

    That’s right – I said I was a rock star whenever I make these and that’s no lie. I made a triple batch on Sunday (I get 40/batch) and they are coming to work tomorrow for a holiday party. They were requested after bringing them in last fall. And they were such a hit I did the triple batch this time. Can’t wait to help devour them myself!!

    I love these too. Made them for a cookie swap 2 years ago, and people bugged me for recipe for MONTHS! Think I'll make them as gifts this year.

    BTW, I originally found the recipe in Kraft's Food & Family magazine.

    Do you use an 8 oz. block or a 3 oz. block of cream cheese – your recipe doesn’t say what size to use.

    one6ylady-It’s and 8oz block. I don’t think I’ve every bought at 3 oz block, so I didn’t think to clarify.

    Thanks for all the feedback guys!

    Just want to let you know that I’ve read that the Nutter Butters don’t work, I guess they come out way too dry.

    These are wonderful! When I crush mine up I put them in a big ziploc bag and use my rolling pin to smoosh them. Last time I made them using the peanut butter Oreos, yum!

    I love these – have been eating them all season. (Yes, it’s kind of a problem.~~)

    I did make them with Nutter Butters and thought they turned out great, though a little too rich for my tastes. I added 1/4 cup powdered sugar and dipped them in vanilla coating. My personal favorite is to add a little (1/2 tsp.) peppermint extract to the filling with Oreos. Yum!

    I’ve made two batches this year for gifts. One with regular oreos dipped in white chocolate (and yes it does take a long time) and the other with mint oreos rolled in powdered sugar (I added a couple of drops of green food coloring to give a tint of green). My husband and sister both loved them, even before I had them completely done.

    These were presents for this year, but the white cookie ones covered with vanilla bark are even BETTER.

    Tried by luck because the biggest package came with both. lol

    These were so awesome to bring to a party. They were all gobbled up. A husband and wife who own a chocolate store ate these and were inquiring who made them. They wanted to buy these from me. They will amaze everyone. Other people thought I purchased them at a store. Next time I’m going to try adding coffee and maybe some other flavors. I will mostly stick with the original because they are delicious and I don’t want to ruin anything.
