Chocolate Oreo Truffles

This was the first recipe I ever did by myself, and Mastered! A little bit naughty, and a whole lot of Yummy!! These are great to take to ‘Pot Luck’ parties, work gatherings, afternoon teas, family gatherings, the list goes on…

Preparation Time: 
Part 1 – 10min
Part 2 – 10min
Part 3 – 2min

‘Cooking’ Time:  
2+ hours

 

INGREDIENTS:

500g Milk (or Dark) Chocolate

100g White Chocolate

500g Oreos

250g Cream Cheese

Crush the Oreos in a large mixing bowl. Once crushed add the cream and mix together with clean hands. Then grab small amounts of mixture and roll into balls; I usually go for golf ball size portions but you can make them as big or as small as you like! Then place all Oreo balls on a plastic tray/ plate and refrigerate for 1 or more hour/s.

Take the Oreo balls out and either move them all to a separate tray/area or get some new trays out. First melt all the milk/dark chocolate (500g) in a pot over the stove on low heat. Keep mixing the chocolate to ensure a creamy consistency. Once all the chocolate is melted, bring the pot over to the Oreo balls. Begin dipping the balls into the chocolate mixture, fully submerging them either using a fork, a skewer, or your fingers (Very Messy!) Once a ball is covered in chocolate place on empty tray, continue this till all the balls are done; leave a bit of space be together from the chocolate. Place the chocolate covered Oreos in the fridge for 1 or more hours.

Finally take the Oreo balls out of the fridge. Now melt the milk chocolate and then drizzle over the balls as desired to decorate. You can then jazz the Oreo balls up for each season; Christmas, I like making them look like mini puddings buy putting red and green candies on top. Halloween; I will dye the milk chocolate orange. Birthdays or events; you can add sprinkles, etc. to brighten them up. Use your own creativity, and post your creations in the comments below!!

ENJOY!
