Oreo Truffles Two Ways
I am definitely not a baker by nature, so I appreciate any dessert recipe that has the words “no bake” in front of it. And as you can see by the crazy zig-zag lines on top of these truffles, I’m not very crafty either. So basically, if I can make these oreo truffles look pretty, you can make these look prettier.
Sprinkled with cookie crumbs and coated in dark and white chocolate shells, these sweet treats take only minutes to make and are a great crowd pleaser!
Do you have a dessert guilty pleasure? As a baker, I confess that I often take at least a little bit of pride in the amount of time that I spend developing and making my recipes.
Which is why these Oreo Truffles are something of a guilty pleasure for me, because there’s approximately ten minutes of work involved in making them, and that’s it.
My sister has been making these Oreo Truffles for years, and somehow I didn’t realize how quickly and easily they could be made until just recently, but they’ve definitely become a fast favorite, and a serious dessert guilty pleasure (just like my 10 minute edible cookie dough!).

Recipe Notes

- **If you don't own a mixer you can just blend mixer in a mixing bowl with a spoon.
