Oreogasms

This is a recipe for Oreo Truffles. The cast of "Macbeth" renamed them Oreogasms, which I find hysterical, but am not sure how appropriate it is. But once you try them, I think you'll understand why they came up with such a name!


  • On package of Oreos (Regular, not double stuffed)
  • One package of Cream Cheese, softened  (8oz)
  • One back of chocolate chips (I prefer Milk-chocolate, but semi-sweetened works too)
  • Wax Paper

  1. Blend the entire bag of Oreos in a blender/food processor until the Oreos are a powder. You can blend 5 or 6 Oreos at time (or however much your blender can handle) until all the Oreos have been added. You don't want any cookie chunks left. Take out 1/3 cup of Oreo Powder, and set aside. 
  2. Once all the Oreos are blended, slowly mix the Oreos powder and cream cheese together. You'll probably want to use your hands for this, and knead it like bread until the Cream Cheese has turned a consistent dark Oreo color.
  3. Roll Oreo and Cream Cheese mixture into tiny balls, and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  4. Melt bag of chocolate chips in a pan (or double boil). DO NOT ADD BUTTER OR WATER, this will ruin the consistency. Keep the stove on Low.
  5. Begin dipping the chilled Oreo balls into the chocolate, and place on plates covered in wax paper. 
  6. While doing this, (after every 3 or 4 Oreo balls that you dip) take out the 1/3 Oreo Powder that has been set aside, and sprinkle a little bit onto each ball, dipping and sprinkling as you go. **It is best to do this soon after you dip, so the Powder will stick and stay to the melted chocolate while it is still melted.
  7. Chill in refrigerator for 1 hour.  After chilled, remove from wax paper, serve, and enjoy!!
Here are a couple different picture ideas for serving and for chocolate melting/decorating.
