Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups peanut butter
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
- 33 Oreo cookies (about 3 cups crumbs)
Coating Ingredients:
- 20 ounces (567 grams) milk chocolate or dark chocolate for melting
Instructions
- Transform whole Oreo cookies into fine, uniform crumbs using a food processor or blender, ensuring no large cookie chunks remain.
- Incorporate smooth peanut butter with the processed Oreo crumbs in a spacious mixing bowl, using an electric mixer to create a consistent, well-integrated blend.
- Gradually introduce powdered sugar while continuously mixing, which will enhance the sweetness and help bind the truffle mixture into a moldable consistency.
- Utilize a cookie scoop to portion out uniform 1-inch (2.5 centimeters) spheres, then gently roll each portion between your palms to create smooth, perfectly rounded truffles.
- Transfer the shaped truffles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and place them in the freezer for approximately 30 minutes to firm up and stabilize their structure.
- Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe container, using 30-second intervals and stirring between each cycle to ensure a smooth, glossy chocolate coating without scorching.
- Remove truffles from the freezer and carefully dip each one into the melted chocolate, allowing excess coating to drip off before returning them to the parchment-lined surface.
- Optional: Sprinkle crushed Oreo cookies or decorative elements atop the chocolate-coated truffles while the coating remains wet.
- Allow the chocolate to completely set at room temperature, then store the truffles in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate for extended freshness.
Notes
- Perfectly pulse Oreo cookies into fine, even crumbs to create a smooth truffle base that ensures consistent texture and flavor throughout.
- Combine peanut butter and Oreo crumbs using an electric mixer to achieve a seamless blend that guarantees rich, creamy consistency.
- Add powdered sugar gradually while mixing to control sweetness and help the mixture hold its shape when forming truffles.
- Freeze truffles for at least 30 minutes before dipping to prevent them from falling apart during the chocolate coating process.
- Melt chocolate carefully using short microwave intervals, stirring between each to avoid burning and maintain a silky, smooth coating.
- Decorate with crushed Oreos or sprinkles immediately after dipping while chocolate remains wet for maximum adherence and visual appeal.
