how to serve Easy Oreo Truffles

how to store Easy Oreo Truffles

tips to make Easy Oreo Truffles

Use room temp cream cheese so it mixes smooth. Do not add more cream cheese than the recipe says or the balls will be too soft. Chill the balls for 10–15 minutes before dipping to keep the shape. Use good chocolate for a smooth shell. For ideas on other sweet bars for a tray, see easy pecan pie bars.

variation (if any)

Use white chocolate instead of dark or milk.
Stir in a little peanut butter for a nut taste.
Roll balls in cocoa or toasted nuts for a new texture.
Use mini Oreos for a lighter bite.
