I am sure many of you have seen the posts on Pinterest regarding Oreo Truffles, truly one of the easiest yet most decadent desserts to try. Well today I am offering you a slight twist, a Peanut Butter slant although now with all the flavours that Oreo offers the possibilities are endless.
A simple two ingredient treat made all the more decadent with Oreo’s new flavours. So many choices so little time. Think about it Gingerbread, S mores, Mint, Candy Cane. Oreo just keeps giving us fun flavours to test out. Today though we will stick to Peanut Butter Oreo Truffles.
What you will need for Peanut Butter Oreo Truffles
Time to gather the ingredients needed for the tastiest truffles.
Ingredients:
- OREO Cookies, finely crushed, divide ( I used the Peanut Butter flavour)
- 1pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
- pkg. (4 oz. each) BAKER’S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, broken into pieces, melted or
- you can use chocolate chips
How to Create Valentine’s Day Truffles
Lets get baking or rather let’s get rolling. Time to make truffle balls.
- Mix cream cheese and remaining cookie crumbs until blended
- SHAPE into 48 (1-inch) balls. Dip in melted chocolate; place on waxed paper-covered rimmed baking sheet.
- REFRIGERATE 1 hour or until firm.
- MELT CHOCOLATE
- Place chocolate in microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 2-1/2 min. or until chocolate is completely melted, stirring every 30 sec. or melt over medium heat and add small amount of oil or wax to keep from clumping
- I also melted some white chocolate to use as a drizzle
- ROLL TRUFFLES
To easily coat truffles with the melted chocolate, add truffles, in batches, to bowl of melted chocolate. Use 2 forks to roll truffles in chocolate until evenly coated. Remove truffles with forks, letting excess chocolate drip back into bowl. Place truffles on prepared baking sheet; let stand until firm.
I use to make a Peanut Butter Ball with coconut and rice krispies and peanut butter and icing sugar…. well you get the picture, a decadent ball that everyone loved but not quite as simple as this one. Also I now use the wilton dipping tool, it is amazing)
Can you Freeze the Oreo Truffles.
Yes they can be frozen, in fact at Christmas time I keep them in the freezer and just bring them out when company arrives. They will thaw in less than 15 minutes.
