OREO TRUFFLES


One of my coworkers brought these in to work for a party. They were a big hit and had everyone asking for the recipe. I think kids would get a kick out of them and it might even be a fun project for them to help you make. I have posted a Cookie Dough Truffle recipe before, so this is a new twist. I think at Christmastime these would be nice with a little peppermint flavor in the mix, and drizzled with red and white.

Oreo Truffles

Makes 25-35

1 pkg. regular size Oreo cookies, crushed
1 8-oz pkg cream cheese, softened
1 pkg. white almond bark
1 pkg chocolate almond bark

Using a blender or hand held mixer, mix crushed Oreos and cream cheese together.
Roll into walnut sized balls. Chill for 1 hour.
Melt approximately 3/4 pkg. of white almond bark. Stick a toothpick in an Oreo ball and dip it in the melted white almond bark. Allow to harden on wax paper. Takes about 15 minutes.
While waiting for truffles to harden, melt about 1/4 pkg. of chocolate almond bark.
When Oreo truffles are no longer sticky to the touch, decorate with drizzles of chocolate and white almond bark. (Use a sandwich bag with a tiny hole cut in one corner to drizzle the almond bark.)

  1. Those are beautiful!!! I think you're right, a little peppermint might be nice. Oh, don't they just deserve to be wrapped up so nicely with tissue paper and ribbon. Well done.
