Description
Peanut Butter Oreo Truffles are delicious bite-sized treats combining the rich flavors of Oreos, creamy peanut butter, and chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 20 Double Stuf Oreos, finely crushed
- 120 grams cream cheese, softened
- 240 grams creamy peanut butter
- 60 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 250 grams powdered sugar
- 270 grams semi-sweet milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a baking tray with wax or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Finely crush the Oreos in a large plastic bag using a rolling pin or pulse in a food processor until finely ground.
- In a mixing bowl, blend cream cheese until smooth. Add Oreo crumbs and mix until homogenous.
- With lightly greased hands, roll the mixture into approximately 24 even balls and arrange them on the prepared tray. Refrigerate for 20 minutes until firm.
- In a separate bowl, combine peanut butter, softened butter, and powdered sugar. Stir until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Wrap a portion of the peanut butter mixture around each Oreo ball and roll to ensure a smooth, even layer. Return balls to the tray.
- Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to allow the coating to set.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring frequently, until smooth. Total time should not exceed 90 seconds.
- Insert a toothpick into each truffle and dip into the melted chocolate, ensuring a full, even coat. Let any excess chocolate drip off, then place back on the tray.
- Refrigerate truffles for 20-30 minutes or until chocolate is fully set. Store chilled.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Experiment with different types of chocolate for coating, such as dark or white chocolate.
- Store truffles in the refrigerator to maintain firmness.
