Best Oreo Cooke Ball Recipe

OREO truffle balls are the ultimate chocolate holiday snack. Classic OREO cookies, cream cheese and melted chocolate make for an easy holiday snack idea.

What ingredients are in an OREO truffle?

• OREO Cookies, Classic. - DO NOT remove the cream filling. The WHOLE cookie is used.
• Cream cheese - I use regular cream cheese that has been softened
• Chocolate chips - Chocolate chips for melting for coating the truffles. Chocolate melts can be substituted. Milk chocolate, dark chocolate or white chocolate can all be used.

Garnishes for OREO truffles

There are a variety of garnishes that can be used when making OREO truffles. Garnishes are a fun way to make OREO truffle balls a bit more elegant and festive. Here are a few suggestions:

• OREO cookie pieces
• Flake Salt
• White chocolate curls
• Piece of nut. - Pecan featured but walnuts or almonds would also be delicious.
• Decorated chocolate disks

How to make OREO truffles

1. Soften the cream cheese to room temperature.
2. In the bowl of a food processor, place the OREO sandwich cookies.
3. Pulse the cookies until they are a fine crumb.
4. Break the cream cheese into pieces and add the cream cheese to the bowl of the food processor.
5. Pulse the crushed OREO cookies and cream cheese until the two combine to form a ball.
6. Using a 1-inch scoop, portion out the OREO truffle mixture onto a baking sheet with waxed paper, silicone mat or sprayed with non-stick spray.
7. Chill in the freezer for 15 minutes.
8. Roll the OREO cookie balls in your hands to form a more consistent 1-inch ball.
9. Place the cookie balls back in the freezer while you prepare the chocolate for dipping.
10. Over a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips or chocolate melts until ⅔ of the chocolate is melted.
11. Remove from the heat and continue to stir until all the chocolate is completely melted.
12. Once the chocolate is melted, coated each truffle ball with the melted chocolate, allowing the excess chocolate to drip off the truffle. A slight tapping motion can help with this process.
13. Place on wax paper, silicone mat or decorative chocolate sheet transfer to set the chocolate shell.
14. As soon as the ball is placed down, garnish the top before the chocolate sets.
15. Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving or storing in the refrigerator.

How to make the decorative chocolate disks

1. Use a decorative chocolate transfer sheet and place it shiny side down on a flat surface.
2. Spread a thin layer of melted chocolate over a small area of the transfer sheet.
3. Just before the chocolate sets completely, use a ½" metal circle cutter to press all the way through the chocolate, forming disks.
4. Allow the chocolate to set completely before removing them from the transfer sheet.
5. Use tweezers to set on the truffle. They melt easily!
