Make Oreo truffles by crushing cookies, mixing with cream cheese, shaping balls, and dipping in chocolate with adult help to practice measuring, mixing.



Step-by-step guide to make Oreo truffles
Step 1
Wash your hands and clean your workspace so everything is ready and safe.
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it nearby for the truffles to rest on.
Step 3
Put all the Oreo cookies (about 36) into a large zip-top bag and seal the bag shut.
Step 4
Crush the Oreos in the bag with a rolling pin until you have fine crumbs.
Step 5
Measure 8 ounces of room-temperature cream cheese (one standard package) and have it ready.
Step 6
Pour the Oreo crumbs into a mixing bowl.
Step 7
Add the measured cream cheese to the mixing bowl with the crumbs.
Step 8
Stir and mash the crumbs and cream cheese together until the mixture is smooth and sticky.
Step 9
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll each portion into a ball using clean hands.
Step 10
Place the balls on the lined baking sheet and chill them in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 11
With adult help, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20–30 second bursts, stirring between bursts until smooth.
Step 12
Use a fork or a toothpick to dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate and let the extra chocolate drip off.
Step 13
Put the dipped truffles back on the parchment paper and chill in the fridge until the chocolate sets, about 10–15 minutes.
Step 14
Take a photo and share your finished Oreo truffles and how you made them on DIY.org.

Help!?
What can I use if I don't have Oreos or cream cheese?
Substitute any chocolate sandwich cookies for the Oreos and use an equal 8-ounce package of softened Neufchâtel or mascarpone in the mixing bowl when combining with the crumbs.
My truffles fall apart after rolling—what should I do?
If the tablespoon-sized balls fall apart after rolling, mix in a bit more softened cream cheese a teaspoon at a time and chill the truffles longer on the lined baking sheet so the mixture firms up.
How can I adapt this activity for younger or older kids?
For younger kids, have an adult pre-crush the Oreos and measure the 8 ounces of cream cheese and let them press scooped portions into balls, while older kids can crush cookies themselves, experiment with extracts in the mixing bowl, and safely melt chocolate in the microwave with minimal supervision.
How can we personalize or decorate the truffles to make them fancier?
After dipping each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, personalize by sprinkling crushed extra Oreos or colored sprinkles, drizzling set white chocolate, or adding about 1/2 teaspoon vanilla or peppermint to the mixing bowl before chilling, then photograph the finished truffles for DIY.org.
