Tonight, we’re having a going away party for my roommate, who is moving up to D.C. (I’ll miss you, Stephanie!) There will be drinks and all that good stuff, but I got a specific request to make some oreo truffles. I made some for a long time ago, but I never posted the recipe.
Can I even count it as a recipe? It’s so easy.
Should I admit how easy these are?
I guess I should. Because you probably came here looking for an easy recipe. Well these aren’t really healthy. Sorry. But they are easy!
Easy Oreo Truffles
- 1 package of Oreo cookies (or any sandwich cookie)
- 1 8oz package of cream cheese
- 2 cups chocolate chips (I used semi sweet)
- Coconut (or sprinkles, or crushed peanuts, or anything for sprinkling on top!)
Crumble up the entire package of oreos. It would be easiest in a food processor, but I did it in a blender. You could also just smash them up with a rolling pin in a giant ziploc bag. Totally up to you. Mix in your cream cheese. You can do this in a bowl, or toss it into the food processor.
In a separate bowl, melt 2 cups of chocolate chips in the microwave. (Put it on 50% power, and stir every 30 seconds, so they don’t burn!) Next, roll the oreo/cream cheese mixture into balls. Use a fork to dip them into the melted chocolate.
Place them on wax paper, and sprinkle with optional toppings. I did some coconut, some plain. I also wanted to use crushed walnuts but I didn’t have any on hand.
Trust me, these are simple, but they’re pretty much a guaranteed success.
If you’re just super disappointed that I didn’t have a healthy recipe to share… then go check out these Chocolate Oatmeal Bites. It is all about balance, right?
And, in case you missed it, check out my guest post on Kat’s blog!
I love have your recipes always have so few ingredients, the perfect type of recipe for me
Haha I’m all about easy!
I’ve had those before at potlucks and stuff. Totally dangerous… I’d eat 6 in a row. “Rich” desserts have no effect on me whatsoever. A blessing and a curse… ha ha
I do NOT understand when people are like “Ohhh it’s so rich, I can only have a few bites!”
Those sound AMAZING! Do you know if there is anything I could use in place of the cream cheese??? (Should I try to find a dairy-free “cream cheese”??)
I’ve heard that the Tofutti cream cheese is a good swap, but I’ve never actually tried it! If you test it out, let me know how it is!!
Yumm give me anything with cream cheese in it and it’s pretty much a guarantee I will eat every bite
Where in D.C. is your friend moving?? I can show her around if she needs a friend!
YUM. I want this.
I love these! I’ve never tried making them but I love eating them
They’re super easy to make! The hardest part is not eating the whole batch
Wow- that does sound simple! Recipes with few ingredients are the best. Thanks for posting another one!
Wow these look so good! Do you deliver?
I love oreo truffles, but I have to admit we always use white chocolate to coat the outside with. I have seen the chocolate over the net several times. I love that you put coconut on them! I would also like to use shaved chocolate for an adult type gathering and sprinkles for the kiddos
Ohhh I think white chocolate would be delicious!
ummm amazing. I think nuts on top would be fantastic as well. Next party…these are getting made!
Yum! We actually made these when I was at the beach with my cousins and aunt and uncle!! I was so surprised at how easy they are to make!!
Can’t wait to see you at the COLOR ME RAD race tomorrow (today). Go VA Bloggers!
Oh my gosh! I didn’t know you were a gymnast! I did gymnastics up until high school. Then I gave it up for allstar cheerleading. I miss those days!!! Well…honestly, I don’t really miss the balance beam haha.
YUMMMMMMM.
YUM! Some things are just not meant to be healthy, and anything Oreo-related falls in that category. I’m going to make these for my brother…which is code for “I need a reason to make these and hence eat them”!
YES! This is one of my favorite recipes of all time. I have made peanut butter and mint versions, too. I like to cover them with white chocolate, sprinkle on coconut, and call them snowballs.
I also once made them with gingersnaps and butterscotch. Yes. I did.
