I Love Oreo Truffles. They’re so easy for kids to get into the kitchen and to help make!


Kids can use their own creativity by adding different flavors and decorations – to make their very own truffles! My daughter, Abby, just whipped up a batch this past weekend and had a ball decorating them herself. I think she has the recipe memorized now!

Remember it’s not about perfection


I didn’t stand over my daughter making sure these truffles turned out perfectly round, or that they were dipped exactly right. She had success in making them her own, and I will say it got a little messy!


What a delicious tasty treat to give away to teachers, grandparents or even neighbors!


OREO Truffles

18 oz. package of OREO Cookies

8 oz. package of Cream Cheese, softened

16 oz. Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, melted

(I doubled the recipe using ½ fat-free and ½ regular cream cheese. I also used dark chocolate, which I bought in the bulk section at Winco grocery store.)


Mix cream cheese and crushed (fine crumbs) Oreo cookies together


Roll dough into 1 inch balls, putting on wax or parchment paper

Refrigerate for 30 minutes

Dip balls, using toothpicks or a spoon, into melted chocolate (use double broiler or microwave on 50%)

Refrigerate another 30 minutes until chocolate hardens

Anyway we can help our kids to be successful in giving it is encouraged in my home – and it usually is centered on food!


Decorate and Devour! Or package them up and give them away!
