Why You Will Love This Recipe
When I was little, my grandma always had a treat ready, no matter what. While she wasn't a baker by trade, her joy was in feeding the people she loved. Valentine's Day was no different. She’d always whip up these simple, quick Oreo treats. This Valentine Oreo Truffle Recipe is a tribute to her, a sweet reminder of simple joy and love. These aren't just truffles; they're edible hugs.
Ingredients
- 1 package (14.3 ounces) Oreo cookies
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 16 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted
- Sprinkles! Valentine's themed, naturally.
Step-by-Step Instructions for Making the Recipe
- Crush the Oreos: Using a food processor, finely crush the entire package of Oreo cookies until they resemble fine crumbs.
- Combine the Mix: In a large bowl, mix together the crushed Oreos and softened cream cheese. Mix well until fully combined and there are no large lumps of cream cheese.
- Roll into Balls: Roll the Oreo mixture into 1-inch balls. Place the balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill: Place the baking sheet with the rolled Oreo balls into the freezer for at least 15 minutes. This will help them firm up and make them easier to dip.
- Dip: Dip each Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, making sure to fully coat it. Use a fork or dipping tool to carefully lift the truffle out of the chocolate and allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
- Decorate: Immediately sprinkle the coated truffles with Valentine's Day sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
- Set and Serve: Place the decorated truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and allow the chocolate to fully set. You can speed this up by placing them in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes.
