Notes

  • Use regular Oreos, not double stuf! Double stuf have too much cream!
  • Use full-fat block-style cream cheese, not the spreadable kind!
  • If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can place the Oreos in a Ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
  • Be sure to thoroughly chill the truffle mixture before dipping them in chocolate. Otherwise, they may fall apart when dipped.
  • For easy dipping place each truffle on a fork, submerge the fork in the chocolate, and let the excess drip off before placing them on the baking sheet.
Storage: Store Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
