Oreo Balls AKA Oreo Truffles are the perfect treat for any occasion! They only require THREE ingredients, they couldn’t be easier to make and they taste unbelievably delicious. They’re always the first thing to go at parties and I’m yet to meet someone who doesn’t love them!
These really are one of our favorite treats! People go crazy over them and they’re always amazed to learn how simple they are.
Everywhere I take them they are always loved by people of all ages. My brother who doesn’t care for desserts is always asking me to makes these.
You just can’t go wrong with this recipe. It only makes sense because they’re made up of all delicious things – Oreos, cream cheese and chocolate!
If you’ve never made truffles before or dipped candies in chocolate this is a great place to start! The recipe is so straight forward. Once you try these you’ll be hooked!
These truffles are deliciously rich, perfectly chocolatey and the addition of cream cheese just makes them sing. Who new something so incredibly easy could be so incredibly tasty?
My personal favorite are the Oreo balls dipped in white chocolate, it’s keeps that classic cookies and cream flavor going. But of course chocolate is delicious too, you get a double chocolate flavor.
For the Christmas season you should try the peppermint version (see photo at the bottom of this post), all you have to do is add a little peppermint extract to the truffle mixture then garnish with crushed candy canes before the chocolate sets.
