Easy Oreo Truffles
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!
ummm amazing. I think nuts on top would be fantastic as well. Next party…these are getting made!
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! 🙂
Wow these look so good! Do you deliver? 🙂
Wow- that does sound simple! Recipes with few ingredients are the best. Thanks for posting another one!
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 😉
YUM. I want this.
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!
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!!
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!”
I love have your recipes always have so few ingredients, the perfect type of recipe for me 🙂
Haha I’m all about easy!
