How to Make Decadent Reese’s Peanut Butter Oreo Truffles

Prepare the mixture

Place the Oreo cookies into a food processor and blitz until they form fine crumbs. Add the cream cheese, peanut butter, icing sugar, and vanilla extract. Pulse until the mixture is smooth, thick, and fully combined.

Shape the truffles

Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll into bite-sized balls using your hands. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes until firm.

Melt the chocolate

Gently melt the milk and dark chocolate together in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, or melt in short bursts in the microwave, stirring frequently until smooth.

Coat the truffles

Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Lift out with a fork and allow excess chocolate to drip away. Place back onto the lined tray.

Decorate and set

While the chocolate is still wet, decorate with white chocolate drizzle, Oreo crumbs, or chopped Reese’s if using. Leave to set at room temperature or chill briefly until the coating is firm.

Tips for Perfect Oreo Truffles

Why is my mixture too soft to roll?

If the mixture feels sticky, chill it for 10 to 15 minutes. Cold dough is much easier to shape neatly.

How do I get a smooth chocolate coating?

Make sure the truffles are well chilled before dipping. This helps the chocolate set quickly and evenly.

Can I use crunchy peanut butter?

Yes, but the texture will be slightly less smooth. Smooth peanut butter gives the creamiest centre.

How do I stop the chocolate cracking?

Avoid very cold truffles when dipping. Let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before coating.
