Oreo Truffles Ingredients

This Oreo truffle recipe is easy to make with just three ingredients:

  • Baking chocolate: This easy Oreo truffle recipe starts with two packages of semisweet baking chocolate.
  • Oreos: You'll use a food processor to finely crush Oreos (or other creme-filled chocolate sandwich cookies).
  • Cream cheese: A block of softened cream cheese binds the Oreo balls together and adds extra decadence.

Recipe Tips

  • Sixteen ounces of cream-filled sandwich cookies is roughly 45 cookies. Use a scale for best results.
  • If you don't have a food processor, place cookies in a resealable plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
  • Try milk chocolate or white chocolate for fun variations.
  • Any leftover melted chocolate can be stored at room temperature for another use.

Oreo Truffle Variations

You can't go wrong with this basic Oreo truffle recipe, but it's fun to switch things up once in a while! Try making them with Golden Oreos, dipping them in white chocolate, or decorating them with sprinkles instead of cookie crumbs.

How to Store Oreo Truffles

Since Oreo truffles are heavy on cream cheese, they need to be refrigerated. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise

"Whoa — these are legit," says katiesun. "Made them for Valentine's Day for my Oreo-loving husband. Tasted pro! I did leave them in the fridge for a while before I coated them with chocolate to make them easier to douse."

"I have been asked repeatedly to make them again and again," according to katharine. "I like to smash candy canes and sprinkle the peppermint dust over these once freshly dipped in the chocolate, but anything will do. I'm thinking about toffee-covered ones next. YUM!"

"These are so yummy," raves amorris80. Everyone I have made them for loves them. Try them with the other flavors of oreos. The favorite in our house is the Golden Oreos dipped in white chocolate."
