Oreo Truffles Ingredients
This Oreo truffle recipe is easy to make with just three ingredients:
- Baking chocolate: This easy Oreo truffle recipe starts with two packages of semisweet baking chocolate.

- Any leftover melted chocolate can be stored at room temperature for another use.

How to Store Oreo Truffles

Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise
"Whoa — these are legit," says katiesun. "Made them for Valentine's Day for my Oreo-loving husband. Tasted pro! I did leave them in the fridge for a while before I coated them with chocolate to make them easier to douse."
"I have been asked repeatedly to make them again and again," according to katharine. "I like to smash candy canes and sprinkle the peppermint dust over these once freshly dipped in the chocolate, but anything will do. I'm thinking about toffee-covered ones next. YUM!"
"These are so yummy," raves amorris80. Everyone I have made them for loves them. Try them with the other flavors of oreos. The favorite in our house is the Golden Oreos dipped in white chocolate."
