Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package Oreo cookies (36 cookies)
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) Reese’s Peanut Butter (or any peanut butter)
Coating Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups (255 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) coconut oil (or vegetable oil, for smooth melting)
Garnish Ingredients:
- Crushed Oreos, Reese’s Pieces, or chopped peanuts
Instructions
- Transform Oreo cookies into fine, uniform crumbs using a food processor or by sealing them in a plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, blend the pulverized Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter until the mixture achieves a smooth, homogeneous consistency.
- Utilize a cookie scoop to portion out uniform spherical shapes, gently rolling each between palms to create perfectly round truffles. Arrange the delicate orbs on a parchment-lined tray.
- Transfer the tray to the freezer for approximately 25 minutes, allowing the truffles to firm up and maintain their structural integrity.
- Prepare the chocolate coating by melting chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe vessel. Heat in brief 30-second intervals, stirring between each session until achieving a glossy, liquid texture.
- Carefully immerse each chilled truffle into the molten chocolate using a fork or dipping tool, ensuring even coverage and allowing excess chocolate to cascade off.
- While the chocolate coating remains lustrous, embellish with complementary toppings like crushed Oreo fragments, vibrant Reese’s Pieces, or chopped peanuts. Allow truffles to solidify at ambient temperature or expedite the process in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Use a food processor or rolling pin to crush Oreos into ultra-fine crumbs for smoother truffle texture.
- Ensure cream cheese and peanut butter are at room temperature to blend seamlessly without lumps.
- Slightly wet hands when rolling balls helps create perfectly smooth, uniform truffles without sticking.
- Refrigerate truffles in an airtight container up to 5 days for maximum freshness and flavor preservation.
