Calories 250kcal
Ingredients
- 30 peanut butter Oreos
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 8 oz white chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 8 oz milk chocolate chips or chocolate variety of your choice
Instructions
- Place Oreos in a food processor and pulse until they form crumbs. Add in the cream cheese and pulse until a dough like ball forms. Roll mixture into 1 tablespoon-sized balls, I use a cookie scoop for this. Place on a parchment paper lined sheet tray. Place in freezer for 4 hours, up to overnight.
- Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on half power in 30-second intervals until melted, stirring with a spoon in between intervals. Add in the peanut butter and stir in until everything is smooth. Dip truffles one at a time into the mixture, tapping off the excess and place back on the parchment paper lined sheet. If the peanut butter coating does not harden within a few minutes then pop them back in the freezer for 5 minutes.
- Melt the chocolate chips by placing them into a microwaveable bowl. Microwave on half power in 30 seconds intervals until melted, stirring in between.
- Dip the bottom of the truffles into the melted milk chocolate. Place back on the sheet tray to harden.

Notes
- You can use any kind of chocolate chips that you like we like milk, but you can use semi-sweet or even dark chocolate.
- The filling needs time to set up so let it chill for at least 4 hours if not overnight, this is an important step so when you dunk them they will not melt and fall apart.
- To dip I like to use a fork or slotted spoon to lower the truffle into the peanut butter mixture and roll it around. You can also use a tooth pick inserted into the top!
- If you cant find peanut butter Oreos you can use regular Oreos you just won't have as much peanut butter flavor.
