I’ve been meaning to make these Oreo truffles after reading about them on a few baking blogs. I kept forgetting about them until Jordan Reid blogged the easiest recipe for Oreo truffles I’ve seen. I made a day out of it on Saturday. No joke, it took me 4 hours to make them and about an hour to clean up. It’s easy but just time consuming. I made a batch of Oreo truffles and used the same recipe to make Nutter Butter truffles.
Here’s the recipe taken off of Jordan Reid’s blog.
OREO TRUFFLES
What you need:
1 package Oreo cookies, finely crushed
1 8 oz package cream cheese (no reduced fat stuff, please…we’re talking truffles here)
2 packages (8 squares each) semi-sweet chocolate, melted (in the microwave is easiest)
What you do:
1. Mix 3 cups of the cookie crumbs with the cream cheese until well-blended.
2. Shape cookie/cream cheese mixture into 42 1” balls.
3. Dip balls in melted chocolate (use two forks and sort of roll them around until evenly coated; allow excess to drip off) and place on wax paper.
4. Sprinkle over remaining cookie crumbs and refrigerate at least one hour before serving. Store in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator.
My Oreo truffles
I may make these for Valentine’s Day!
These are the Nutter Butter truffles. I ran out of chocolate so those sad looking balls in the back didn’t get dipped.
I made a few boxes to give to friends. That bucket belongs to Selina but I haven’t had a chance to get them to her.
Here’s the inside of a Oreo one.

These make great holiday gifts and taste luxurious, just how truffles should taste!
