A huge shout out to Melody at Cheat Day Cafe for posting these morsels from heaven! If you haven't visited her blog yet, you're missing out. Her recipes and personality have me going back regularly!
What is it about these little bite sized treats do I love so much? I needed a treat to take to a baby shower, and since I've made cakeballs ad nauseum, I figured it was time for something different, so I made these, lol!
These Oreo truffles are simply divine, especially if you are a chocolate lover. And I love using the chocolate candy melts, rather then chocolate chips, because they made a very crisp coating that goes so well with the Oreo. Mmmmmm, next time I make these, I'm freezing half so that I can enjoy them for weeks to come!
Oreo Truffles
From Melody at Cheat Day Cafe
Ingredients
1 16 oz package of Oreos (not double stuff)
1 8 oz package of cream cheese
Dark Chocolate melts (I used Wilton, and they can be found at most craft stores)
White Chocolate melts, optional for garnish
Directions
1. Blend Oreos in a food processor until finely crushed.
2. Mix cream cheese in mixing bowl until creamy. Add Oreo crumbs, and blend until completely combined.
3. Roll into 1 inch balls, or smaller, place on a cookie sheet and freeze for at least twenty minutes to harden.
4. Melt dark chocolate. Dip each truffle into chocolate (I just used a spoon to coat the truffle, and then pulled it out, tapping excess chocolate on the side of the bowl). Place on wax paper to dry.
5. For garnish, melt white chocolate in a plastic ziplock bag. Snip tip of bag and drizzle over top of truffle. Once dried, store in refrigerator.

Oh BOY! looks delicious! What a nice change from cakeballs ha ha! LOVE it:)
I am SO glad you posted this recipe. They were so delicious, and a total hit at the party. "Oreo" could quite possibly be my middle name.:)
So glad you liked these! They are my absolute favorite!
i think i would LOVE these
This is one of my DIL's favorite treats!
geez....these look good!
these are great for the upcoming holidays!!
I like to use the double stuffed for mine. I started making these treats last year as a gift giveaway from the holiday. I think it will be an annual tradition as everyone always asks me when I'd be making them again. It's actually part of an assortment pack I make for friends and colleagues.
I make these OFTEN! and everytime I do, people go crazy! Only difference, is I cover them with white chocolate and drizzle with dark chocolate to make them EXTRA sweet!

I was thinking of starting a diet today, but now I think not! Yummy.
Oh My Gosh these things are dangerous!!! I try to only make these around the holidays or else I'd be packing on the pounds. So ridiculously yummy!!
Oh no :D I'm going to have to make these!! I bet everyone at the baby shower was asking for the recipe. So cute and so easy to keep popping in your mouth!! Yum.

I've made these before and LOVED them. They were so elegant and yummy and no one could believe how easy they were.
These look so decadent! I just love using the Wilton melts when making truffles. They just turn out so well.
I'll definitely have to give this recipe a try. :)
Okay, those are just plain evil and should not be allowed to exist!!
Now, aren't these just the prettiest little bite! I can well imagine that they were all gobbled down with great glee. I know I'd want more than one!
Simple and they look so pretty! These would be perfect for the holidays- you could make them red/green or red/orange for thanksgiving
Oh! I remember seeing these! And wanting them :D Still do...they look mouthwatering!
Oh my....words fail me! Just beautiful :)

I have had these...somewhere. I can't remember where but I do know that they were mighty delicious.
I still haven't made a batch of these. I'm pretty certain they would get two thumbs up from the kiddos and their friends!
