Oreo Truffles 

1/2 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons butter
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup very finely chopped Oreo cookies

Bring cream and butter to a boil in a medium sized saucepan over medium heat. Remove pan from heat and stir in chocolate until melted. Cool saucepan in the refrigerator for about an hour, or until firm enough to shape into balls.

Roll chocolate into 35 balls, place on a small sheet pan, and freeze for about 5 minutes. Place Oreo cookie crumbs in small bowl and roll chocolate balls into the mixture, coating completely. Drizzle melted white almond bark on top, if desired.

Makes 35 truffles.

  1. Nice truffles! Scratch n Sniff Valentines - I haven't thought about those in a long time. Speaking of contests, did you send your entry into RRay? :)

  10. You should have at least posted a picture of that Titanic box before you threw it away. I want to see it! You have me all curious now.

    Veryfun idea for truffles. I'd rather get a truffles than a Superman card. I remember the corny book of popout Valentines I bought almost every year to hand otu to my class. I was nice and gave cards even to people I hated. They were sooooo cheesy with teddy bears and hearts and girls in frilly dresses.

  23. Oh these look yummy! Super easy too, which is always nice when it comes to desserts. Great idea!

    Also, regarding Titanic, I am pretty sure I saw it in the theater a few times, still watch it whenever it is on TV and still cry like a baby at the end.

  24. We have a family friend who always makes truffles as gifts each christmas and they are TO DIE FOR. She continually refuses to give me the recipe. Now- I don't need hers! Take THAT!

  27. Hi Em, I hope that you receive the best Valentine ever this year. I love the sound of your Titanic card holder - you were obviously always very creative.

    These truffles look mazing - you know me and chocolate. Lucky person who receives these for Valentines Day!

  30. Why did you not take pictures of the masterpiece? It had to have been the coolest Valentine Box ever. We were discussing that they no longer make Valentine Boxes. What a shame! This momma is going to bring back the tradition when my kids hit Kindergarten.

  31. You seem to always know my favorite foods! I mean, oreos? What's not to love! I cannot wait to try these awesome-looking truffles!

  32. Oh! that movie drove me insane! But these truffles don't...I swear you have the best stories!

  33. These look so easy to make, and of course they look delicious! Very cool recipe. Have a great valentines!

  34. It seems almost impossible to me that you can make these truffles out of only four ingredients! You are seriously talented :)

    ReplyDelete
  35. I actually am a fan of scratch and sniff, especially the ones that smell like desserts...I never saw titanic until college or high school, believe it or not :P. You need to put together a box of all these truffles you've made, now that would be an awesome valentine's day gift!

    ReplyDelete
  36. i'm all too familiar with these little suckers--i've consumed more than i ever care to admit. and big fat happy valentine's day to you, emily. :)

  37. Well, where's the picture of the Titanic model?

    I bet if you sent Leo some of these truffles, he's drop Bar in a second. Who cares about those ok pictures of her in Sports illustrated anyway?

  38. I know feel like eating oreo truffles and screaming "I'm the queen of the world" with my arms wide open!

  40. I don't think I've ever had my mouth water so much simply from a photo. I want one of these NOW!

    ReplyDelete
  41. They look absolutely divine, Em.
    I hope you enjoyed you're Valentine's Day, but then you must have done if you were scarfing these down. :-)

  42. Truffles and Oreos in one...does it get any better:D

    ReplyDelete
  43. I was a senior in High school when Titanic came out and I dragged my boyfrined to see it about 5 times.

    Pathetic.

    I still think Leo is hot though.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Yum! We love these. Our recipe is the same, but no chocolate chips.We also dip them in the chocolate, but the older I get the more I don't like them dipped so I think I will drizzle like you did next time. It's funny how people from all over have similar recipes.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Those truffles sound awesome!
    I made some at Christmas time, but it was a package of oreos, crushed-mixed with 8 ounces of softened cream cheese. Chill, then roll into balls-chills again. Melt chocolate and dip balls into it and let set. You can drizzle with another kind of chocolate. These are really rich, and yummy! lol

  46. In high school, all us girls looooved Titanic. My senior year, my mom and I made my dress- it was a replica of Rose's dress from the begining of the movie when she's going to throw herself off the back of the boat- the red one with a black overlay. The dress was gorgeous and perfect. In fact, I've lost almost 40lbs since high school, but I still can't bring myself to get rid of that dress, even though it no longer fits.

  47. Made them and ate until I got nauseous :p Lovely!
