Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 24 Oreo cookies
- ½ cup Nutella
- 6 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 10 ounces dark chocolate melting wafers (you could also use 2 cups melted semisweet chocolate chips
- Optional: pulverize 3-4 additional Oreo cookies for garnish
Instructions
- 1
Using a food processor (though you could also do this by crushing the cookies in a Ziploc bag using a rolling pin—just make sure they are crushed very fine), pulse oreos until very fine crumbs.
- 2
In KitchenAid (or in a large bowl using an electric mixer or spoon) stir together cream cheese and Nutella until well-combined.
- 3
Add in cookie crumbs, stirring until well-combined (pause regularly to scrape down sides of bowl).
- 4
Roll into 1 Tbsp-sized balls and place on wax-paper lined cookie sheet (if filling is too messy to roll, refrigerate first for 10-15 minutes).
- 5
Transfer rolled filling to freezer and freeze for 15 minutes.
- 6
Once truffles have chilled, prepare your chocolate by heating it in the microwave according to package instructions.
- 7
Dip truffles in melted chocolate (my preferred technique for this is to balance the truffle on the width of a butter-knife blade, use a spoon to ladle chocolate evenly over the tops and sides, and then use another knife to slide the truffle back onto the wax paper) and return to wax-paper. Immediately after dipping each truffle, sprinkle with crushed Oreo cookies, if desired.
- 8
Return to refrigerator and allow chocolate to harden before serving.

Keep uneaten truffles refrigerated in an airtight container.
