I’ve been a wee-bit obsessed with Oreo truffles lately. It seems I can’t stop making them. There are just so many Oreo Cookie flavors, The Great Big List of Oreo Recipes, and Oreo cookies in my bake studio that it just has to be done.
If you want more truffle inspiration, Sarah's Truffle Studio eCookbook is here for you!
That being said, I also have to tell you about my other obsession, my Wilton Candy Melting Pot. I got one for Christmas and positively love it so much that I bought a second. I may have mentioned that before, sorry, that’s how obsessed I am with it. I may actually get another one, maybe that’s overkill?!
I digress; having the Wilton Candy Melting Pot certainly makes melting chocolate easier and a little bit more fun, but is not necessary. You can melt chocolate using the double boiler method, or your microwave. Regardless, when melting chocolate it’s important to remember low and slow, no water or alcohol, and chocolate chips are not suitable for melting.
If you want more chocolate know how - The Art of Melting Chocolate is here for you.
Now that I’ve gotten on a chocolate tangent, let’s get back to Death by Chocolate Oreo Truffles. These Oreo truffles are not for the chocolate faint at heart. We’re talking chocolate crème sandwiched between chocolate cookies, blended with cream cheese, dunked in melted dark chocolate, and sprinkled with mini milk chocolate chips. It doesn’t get more chocolatey than this!
Death by Chocolate Oreo Truffles, if you don’t like CHOCOLATE then this sweet treat isn’t for you!

What are paramount crystals? I have never used these before
Sarah says
Hi Joann! Paramount crystals help keep chocolate shiny and smooth, as well as alleviate sugar bloom and fat bloom. For more info, a good resource is The Art of Melting Chocolate. Although I recommend them when working with chocolate, you absolutely can leave them out. Thanks & Happy Baking!

Natalie @ Obsessive Cooking Disorder says
These look divine! Wilton Candy Melting Po is a nice splurge - I've struggled with a double boiler but it overheats or doesn't warm the candy enough! Nice work
Sarah says
Thanks Natalie! Yes, I highly recommend the Wilton Candy Melting Pro...in case you couldn't tell! 😉
grace says
oh, the richness! one bite might be enough, but that wouldn't stop me from eating two or three... 🙂
Sarah says
You are right, one bite might be enough, but why stop there?! 😉
