Hosting a Nut Allergy Friendly Party: Oreo Truffles

[ChefLaur]

My host on Sunday just advised that her nephew will be in attendance and he is severely allergic to nuts. My dessert that I was intending to make will no longer work and I would like something quick and easy to make, as I will also be demoing the tangy pepper pecan brie (sans pecans). I'm just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for recipe ideas. I was thinking perhaps making the oreo truffles ahead of time and then letting the guests use the coating trays and tool to dip their own truffles.

Recipe please? Haven't heard of this one. Chocolate chip sensation would be another good one - just don't put nuts on the top.

I had warm nutty caramel brownies planned for a show and due to an allergy just replaced the nuts with mini choc. chips - no one minded the extra chocolate (served it with vanilla bean ice cream of course!)

 

[vwpamperedchef]

1 regular size pkg. of double stuffed oreos
1 8oz. pkg cream cheese (not a tub)
a dash of vanilla
Chocolate for dipping


The "real" directions say to chop the oreos with the food chopper, but I just put mine in a large Ziploc bag, and smash them to smithereens. Once I've done that, I add the cream cheese and vanilla and smush it all up together. Then I take my small scoop and scoop balls of it onto parchment lined cookie sheet. Place that in the freezer for 20-30 minutes. Melt the chocolate, and dip the truffles in the chocolate, and then place them back on the parchment to dry.

YUM!

I did the warm nutty brownies with pretzels, they were really good. I also offer Chocolate Chip Sensation and let the host pick out what she wants to top it with (hershey's bar grated in DCG, hershey syrup, chocolate chips, m&m's, etc). There should be different kind of triffle recipes that don't involve nuts if you have the triffle bowl.

I did my oreos with the mix n chop in a bowl, works really good. I always have a problem accidently ripping the bag when I do it like you mentioned. The truffles are very very good! It was taking too much time to dip the whole truffle in the chocolate so I ended up just dipping the tops. White almond bark was a bigger hit than the chocolate almond bark ones I made.

My family is addicted to the Truffle Brownie Bites from SB.But I am going to have to try the Oreo Truffles - they sound soooo good!

you could also use resse's peanut butter cups instead of oreos (for those of you not allergic to nuts). I havent tried it, but it does sound so yummy
