And, let me tell you, they turned out even better than I thought they would! These truffles are delicious!! I'm not sure why I was worried. How can you go wrong with anything that includes Oreos and chocolate.
Recipe adapted from The Menu Mom
Ingredients needed:
- 1 package of peanut butter creme Oreo cookies
- 1 8 ounce package of cream cheese (softened)
- 1 bag of chocolate chips
My steps since I do not have a food processor or an expensive mixer:
- Crush package of Oreos in a large ziplock bag.
- Place the softened cream cheese in the ziplock bag with the cookie crumbs and close. Mix it all up by squeezing it all around - this was definitely my favorite part for some reason.
- Place in refrigerator over night.
- Roll dough into balls and place in freezer.
- Melt chocolate using double boiler method
- Take around 5 - 7 dough balls out of the freezer at a time and dip in chocolate. I dipped the bottom half of each ball in the chocolate then placed in refrigerator for around 30 minutes. Then I dipped the top half of the ball in the chocolate.
- Place in refrigerator until you are ready to serve them.
What I learned from making this recipe:
This is my kind of recipe - only 3 ingredients!!
I don't like getting my hands dirty when I cook or bake.
Even though it is only 3 ingredients, there are many steps involved - But it was definitely worth the time.
I have no idea how people make smooth, beautiful covered truffles. I give you all the credit in the world because it is not easy. Mine did not turn out very cute, but luckily, they taste just as good!
