The Famous Oreo Truffles


Now, because dinner was simple, I went all out for dessert. I have seen this recipe several times now from various people and have wanted to try it. It's a perfect holiday dessert, gift idea, a great potluck offering, or just to eat yourself! It is a little more involved, so give yourself enough time to make them. The title is easy, and I guess they are by truffle standards. They were easy, just a little time consuming.

These Oreo Truffles only take three ingredients, but the result is a rich, creamy, decadent truffle. I was only able to eat two before I couldn't handle any more richness! I used a food processor to grind the Oreos rather than crumble them by hand. I believe the food processor was able to provide a better consistency anyways.
Enjoy! Happy Holidays!
