What you will need:
- 8oz Bar of Cream Cheese
- 36 Oreos (ALMOST a whole box of Oreos)
- Chocolate pieces
- White chocolate pieces (red)
Step 1:
Empty cream cheese into a bowl.
Step 2:
Place Oreos with cream cheese.
Step 3:
Mix together both ingredients . I first started using my hands…then realized I should have used my kitchen aid but since I already dirtied a bowl I whipped out my hand mixer and used that lol
You might need to stop midway threw and clean out your whisks…
ps: YES everything in my kitchen is pink…I LOVE the color. It is my fave!! And since I am making Valentines Day Oreo truffles I figured I would whip out ALL my pink utensils =)
Step 4:
Use your hands and make round balls with your mixture. I placed them on two cookie sheets.
Step 5:
Place in freezer for about 20min
Step 6:
Melt chocolate. You can use a double boiler but to make it easier I melted it in the microwave. First start with your milk chocolate pieces. ( TIP: You can use ANY kind of chocolate. I love dark chocolate…but the people I am making these for prefer milk!) Place chocolate in microwave for about 30sec at a clip take out and stir. Continue until chocolate is completely melted…you don’t want to burn your chocolate.
Step 7:
Take Oreo balls out of the freezer and place them in the milk chocolate. I used a toothpick, valentines day themed =), to pick the balls up and place in the chocolate. Dip the chocolate down and slowly lift up and place on foil.
Step 8
Let harden! Should take no more then 5 minutes. By the time I was done with the last ball the rest were hardened!
TIP: EVERYONE uses wax paper…I love it..and love using it...but for this I used foil and I must say it was fantastic! When I lifted up the balls they didn’t stick at all. I sometimes find when I use wax paper it tends to give me a little bit of resistance. – see no mess..and the bottom is firm and didn’t even leave a mark of chocolate on the foil!
Step 9:
Melt red chocolate (white chocolate) the same way you did the milk chocolate.
Step 10:
I drizzled the red chocolate over the balls.
TIP:
Get a plastic bag turn it inside out over your hand like this….
Step 11:
Place chocolate on top of the bag..then turn the bag outside to in!
Cut tip of bag and start drizzling!
Step 12:
I placed the balls back in the freezer for 5-10 minutes to “flash freeze” them so that I could store them in a freezer safe container.
This is what YOURS should look like on the outside and inside..
A chef should always taste their finished product right?? (:

These are so yummy! I always crush my oreos in a blender. Then they are smooth.
These look incredibly good! I'll bet that they would be a hit at any party!
