Servings: 25 truffles
Calories: 224kcal
Ingredients
- 1 package Oreos any flavor. Double stuffed or regular both work
- 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 12 oz. semisweet chocolate
- 6 oz. white melting chocolate for topping
Instructions
Make the Balls:
- Place the Oreos in a food processor and blend until fine crumbs are formed.
- Add the cream cheese and blend to form a sticky dough.
- Roll into 1-inch balls and set aside on a plate. Freeze for 30 minutes or more.
Dip in Chocolate
- Place the semisweet melting chocolate in a small microwave safe bowl and melt according to package instructions.
- Cover a baking sheet with wax paper. Remove Oreo balls from the freezer. Drop them into the chocolate, one at a time, and use a spoon to drizzle it with chocolate.
- Lift the truffle out of the chocolate with a fork and slide the bottom of the fork along the top of the bowl to allow excess chocolate to drip off, then set it on top of the wax paper.
- Once you've dipped them all, refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to set.
Decorate the Top:
- Place the white chocolate in a small microwave safe bowl and melt according to package instructions.
- Dip a fork into the melted chocolate and drizzle it over the Oreo balls.
- Place back in the refrigerator until set, about 10 minutes. Store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve.
Notes
- Don't allow any moisture to come in contact with the melted chocolate, this will cause it to seize when it's melted. This includes using wet utensils to stir, etc.
- Don't melt the chocolate too quickly, low and slow is best. Follow package instructions.
- Use melting chocolate or Baker's bars as opposed to chocolate chips to ensure a smoother consistency.
- To color the chocolate: Add 4 drops of oil-based food coloring to melted white chocolate and stir until uniform in color. (Oil based food coloring is needed to ensure that the chocolate doesn't seize.)
- You can also decorate the tops with sprinkles or crushed cookies right after they've been dipped.
