Print Recipe

These easy, no-bake truffles combine creamy peanut butter, crushed Oreos, and a touch of cream cheese, all coated in a glossy chocolate shell. Perfect for festive occasions, gifting, or a quick homemade treat that everyone will love.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 36 Oreo cookies (about 14 oz / 400g)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (120g)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened (115g)
  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips (225g)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening (14g)
  • Optional: crushed peanuts, extra Oreo crumbs, colored sprinkles, sea salt flakes for topping

Instructions

  1. Place all Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Alternatively, crush cookies in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin.
  2. Add peanut butter and softened cream cheese to the Oreo crumbs. Pulse or mix until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Scoop heaping tablespoons of mixture and roll into 1-inch balls (about 24 truffles). Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Chill truffle balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or freezer for 10 minutes) until firm.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler.
  6. Using a fork, dip each chilled truffle into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place back on parchment paper.
  7. Immediately sprinkle with desired toppings while chocolate is still wet.
  8. Refrigerate dipped truffles for 30 minutes, or until chocolate is set.
  9. If filling is too sticky, add more Oreo crumbs. If too dry, add more peanut butter. If chocolate thickens, microwave briefly or add more oil.
  10. For smoother truffles, wash hands in cold water before rolling.

Notes

Use room-temperature cream cheese for a smooth filling. Crush Oreos finely for best texture. Chill truffles thoroughly before dipping in chocolate. Work in batches to keep filling firm. For gluten-free or vegan adaptations, use suitable cookies and cream cheese. Truffles can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 7 days or frozen for 2 months.
