The first time I had Oreo Truffles was when my cousin, Kari, brought them to one of our family reunions. They were gone in 30 seconds flat, everyone loved them. They are delicious, easy to make and I thought they lent themselves to becoming a cute Halloween treat.
Halloween-y Oreo Truffles
by: Three Many Cooks
Serves: Makes 2 dozen
Ingredients
- 1 package Oreo cookies
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1 lb semi-sweet chocolate (I used Baker's)
- Halloween (or other festive, seasonal) sprinkles
Instructions
- Process Oreos to crumbs in a food processor. Transfer to a medium bowl and mix in softened cream cheese (hands work best!). Roll into 24 balls, placing them on a wax paper-lined rimmed baking sheet. Freeze until solid, at least one hour or up to several days ahead.
- Meanwhile melt chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (or microwave if you like). Working a few at a time, dip balls in the chocolate, rolling around to coat all sides; remove with a slotted spoon and return them to baking sheet. Sprinkle with decorations and refrigerate until set. Enjoy!
Exactly what I was looking for! This is the perfect Halloween-y treat without going overboard… I’m sure they’d be gone in 30 seconds around me, too!
These sound great! Thanks for the idea!
Made these yesterday and they are truly delicious and so very easy!
have a whole bag of leftover Halloween oreos. This is what I’ll be making.
I made these yesterday and they were really good! Thanks for the idea! Now I’m ready to try my hand at some other ways to make them!
I made these last year for my son’s Hwn party at school, except I dipped in white chocolate & topped with an m&m.
Used red food coloring & toothpick to draw squiggly lines.
A bloodshot eyeball for halloween. 5th graders loved it.
