Do You Have to Refrigerate Oreo Truffles?
Yes, you do. This is because of the added cream cheese and the probability that if you leave your Oreo truffles sitting out on the counter, they just might melt or become too soft depending on the temperature of your house. Popping them in the fridge is your best bet.

🔪How Do I Make Oreo Truffles
1. In a blender, blend all cookies until fine.
2. In a small bowl, save about 2 tablespoon of the cookie mixture for later.
3. Mix together all of the cream cheese with the cookie mixture. Make sure the cheese is well incorporated.
4. Place the bowl in the fridge for about an hour to harden.
5. While that cools, melt together the chocolate. You can melt using the double broiler method on the stove, or in the microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring in between each time.
6. Form small balls with the cookie mixture. You can use your hand and choose the size, or you can use a cookie scoop. Place in the white chocolate. Using a fork or spoon, make sure the white chocolate is fully covering the cookie mixture.
7. Place the ball on a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Sprinkle a small about of the fine cookie that you reserved from earlier on top. Allow the chocolate to harden.
8. Once the chocolate has hardened, serve, and enjoy! Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Want to save some for later? Freeze them for up to 2 months and just thaw a few minutes before serving!
Totally! Try mint, golden, or even birthday cake Oreos to change up the flavor. Just use the whole cookie—filling and all.
