Death by chocolate (Oreo Truffles)
OMG these truffles are amazing. I could really eat almost all of these. My heart would probably stop about 1/2 way through the batch, but these guys might be worth it. I made hubby promise not to eat too many when he takes them to work.
You can dip these in any flavor of chocolate that you like. My plan was to do 1/2 in dark and 1/2 in white, but I burnt the white chocolate in the microwave. I did 1/3 in dark chocolate, 1/3 in milk chocolate, and 1/3 using the chocolate/caramel swirl chips. The caramel ones were hubby’s favorite, and I’m always a fan of dark chocolate.
The original recipe for these guys comes from Kraft.com but I found this recipe from Chris of Mele Cotte. Chris recommends using condensed milk instead of cream cheese so that you don’t have to refrigerate the truffles.
Oreo Truffles – made ~100 for me
1 package Oreos
14 oz sweetened condensed milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
melted chocolate of your choice
Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Crush oreos using a food processor. I put about 12 cookies in at a time.
Add vanilla and milk. Stir until ingredients come together. Work quickly to form the mixture into small balls and place on cookie sheet. Put into refrigerator to chill (for easy dipping).
Melt the chocolate using your favorite method. I like to use the microwave. I also added some vegetable oil to the chocolate to thin it out.
Dip chocolate balls into melted chocolate and put back on cookie sheet.
I put them in mini-cupcake liners so they’re easier to handle. Everyone loved these little guys.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE brownies!!! Will definitely try out this recipe… soon.
(Just can’t let my husband know, who is a personal trainer, lol!)
These were seriously the best brownies ever! I can’t wait to re-use this recipe!
Those look outrageously delicious!!!
I love me a good brownie – but can you believe that I haven’t actually made homemade brownies. I really must change that!!
Who doesn’t love brownies?! I don’t know if I could wait a whole night and not devour these immediately out of the oven!
Yum! I love brownies! I’m thinking I actually might make some right now 🙂
You have way more willpower than I do. I rarely let brownies cool. I love when they’re warm and gooey… and yes, then throw some vanilla ice cream and hot fudge and whipped cream on top!
I was good, and I let my KAF brownies rest overnight though.
I added myself to follow your blog. You are more than welcome to visit mine and become a follower if you want to.

HAHA, I totally cracked up at this post for two reasons: I love that you used the expression “Get outta town!” and that you posted the pic of our brownies that were, the best brownies ever. See? We just knew..
Great post, as always!
These look sinfully delicious 🙂
