of oreos, the larger or the smaller? Also is it the 8 oz package of cream cheese or the smaller square 4 oz?

Thanks all!
 
regular size box of double stuff oreos. 8 oz cream cheese
 
Where can I find the recipe for these Oreo Truffles? You guys have me curious as to what they are exactly. :D
 
Search Oreo and you should find a thread about truffles
 
In fact - if you look at the bottom of the page, you'll find several.

What's really funny is that a few years back, Jodi posted the same question!:D


(It's okay, Jodi - I laugh because I've done the same thing!)
 
Ha! Becky, I did just that and read up on that thread. It was fun reading. :D Then I came back and saw what you just wrote. How funny! I got a kick out of how you had gone to the store and forgot to buy the oreos, too. That is SO something I would do! :D

I made these a few weeks ago and these are the best things EVER!!! I only used the regular oreos as I thought that is what I was supposed to use. They were great! I can only imagine how great they would be with the double stuff ones! I stuck mine in fridge and kept munching on them. Yummy! I even bought stuff tonight to make more today!
 
we have been making these for probably 15 years way before flavored oreos came out
we only use flavored ones and never refrigerate them havent made anyone sick yet.... never occured to me to keep them cold DUH!!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What size box do I need for Oreo truffles?

For Oreo truffles, a standard 9x9 inch baking dish or a similar-sized container works well for setting and chilling the truffles. If you plan to gift them, a decorative box that can hold at least 12-24 truffles is ideal.

How much cream cheese is needed for Oreo truffles?

You will need 8 ounces of cream cheese for every package of Oreo cookies (typically 15.35 ounces). This ratio ensures that the truffles have the right consistency and flavor.

Can I use reduced-fat cream cheese for Oreo truffles?

Yes, you can use reduced-fat cream cheese, but it may slightly alter the texture and creaminess of the truffles. Full-fat cream cheese provides the best flavor and consistency.

How many Oreo cookies are in a standard package?

A standard package of Oreo cookies typically contains about 36 cookies, which is enough to make approximately 24-30 Oreo truffles, depending on the size you roll them.

How long do Oreo truffles need to chill before serving?

Oreo truffles should chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to an hour before serving. This helps them firm up and makes them easier to handle and enjoy.
