OREO Truffles Ingredients
- 18 oz. package of OREO Cookies

- baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper
- fork or dipping tool
How to make Oreo Truffles
Follow the steps for how to make oreo balls and you will have a deliciously tasty treat to give away to teachers, grandparents or even neighbors!
Crush the entire package of oreas in a food processor. Reserve 1/4 cup crumbs for decorating.
Mix in cream cheese with the finely crushed Oreo cookies. Mix well. This could also be done with a hand mixer or stand mixer. I used my food processor for the entire recipe.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls, putting on wax or parchment paper. A small cookie scoop makes this an easy task.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes or freeze 10 min.
While the oreo cookie balls are chilling prepare chocolate for dipping.
Melt the candy coating or chocolate slowly. This is important. Chocolate that is melted too quickly and gets too hot will become stiff and then be cloudy or have spots when it hardens. I melt my chocolate in the microwave at 30-second intervals stirring after each. Once it starts to melt continue stirring and it will continue to melt without re-heating. If you do need a touch more heat do 15 seconds more.
Dip balls in melted chocolate, using a dipping tool or fork. Tap fork on side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
Use a wooden skewer to slide ball onto wax paper or parchment paper.
Refrigerate another 30 minutes until chocolate hardens.

Tips
- If you don’t have a food processor you can crush the Oreos in a large resealable plastic bag using a rolling pin. Be sure to make the crumbs fine.
- Chill the Oreo filling before dipping, This keeps the balls from breaking bits of Oreos will into the chocolate. It also helps the chocolate harden more quickly.
- Use regular, not Double Stuf Oreos. Double stuff has too much cream filling. Other flavor varieties of Oreos do work like mint, birthday cake, etc.

Do these need to be stored in the refrigerator? If so, how long can they stay out?
Cindy Hopper says
Cindy, since they have cream cheese I would keep them in the refrigerator. They probably could be kept out for a party etc.
