Why You'll Love This Recipe

Many years ago I was introduced to a little piece of heaven called the Chocolate Oreo Truffle Recipe. A friend would make them once a year and sell them at a fundraiser auction. They were always the hot ticket.When I learned how easy they were to make I was shocked! This delicious piece of candy is only a few ingredients!? It couldn't be!

You're going to love these just as much as I do because:

• They only have 3 ingredients
• They are easy to make!
• Everyone loves them!

About The Ingredients

Your grocery list for this dessert is going to be short! Here are a few items to note.

1. Chocolate wafer cream cookies - like Oreos. Check out the variations sections on how to use different flavored cookies for different truffles. But my favorite is the original flavor.
2. Cream cheese - make sure it's softened. I like to use the name brand, I feel like its smoother. Packaged cream cheese is found on the cheese aisle.
3. Confectioners coating - like Candiquick, or Candy Melts. Sometimes this is called chocolate bark and is readily available at grocery stores and big box stores. This hardens better than melted chocolate chips.

Pro Tip - Confectioners coating can be found in the baking aisle of your grocery store.

How Do You Make Chocolate Oreo Truffles?

This truffle recipe is so easy, you won't even believe it!

1. Add Oreo cookies to a food processor or blender.
2. Crush your chocolate wafer cookies by blending in a food processor or mixer until it is the texture of dirt. You can alternately place cookies in a large zipper bag and crush with a rolling pin.
3. Add your crushed Oreos and softened cream cheese to a mixing bow. Mix until well combined.
4. Roll mixture into one inch balls.

Pro Tip - To soften cream cheese - simply unwrap the cream cheese, place on a microwave safe plate, and microwave for 15 seconds.

5. Place on a prepared baking sheet and freeze for 20 minutes to ensure they are firm.
6. Melt confectioners coating (Candyquick) in the microwave according to the package directions. Usually you heat for 60 seconds, stir, and reheat in 15 second increments until smooth. You can also use a double broiler, but the microwave is a lot easier.Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolatecoating and completely cover.
7. Place on a sheet of waxed or parchment paper until coating is hardened. Decorate as desired.
8. Transfer to an airtight container in the fridge until served. Will keep 10 days.

Pro Tip - Use two forks to dip the chilled oreo balls in chocolate coating - this will give you control to completely cover the balls and will also keep your fingers clean.

Gussy Them Up

You can leave them simply dipped in the candy coating, or you can decorate the tops for some added beauty. Here are a few decorating ideas:

• Top with crushed chocolate wafer cookie crumbs before the candy coating dries.
• Top with a drizzle of a contrasting color of confectioners coating.
• Top with cocoa powder.
• Top with sprinkles

Variations

• Chocolate Mint Truffles - use the mint Oreos in place of the original for a minty twist.
• Red Velvet Truffles - use the red velvet Oreos in place of the original and coat with white chocolate coating.
• Vanilla Truffles - use the golden Oreos in place of the original and coat with white chocolate.
