Oreo Cookie Chocolate Truffles for Mom!
This month’s ‘Life with Baby Series’ is put on hold for a very important update. “Where my mamas at?” This month is for you for being awesome! Whether you’re a dog, cat, bird (…the list goes on) or human Mama, it’s your time to be spoiled. What better way to do that (in my opinion) than with chocolate!
Calling all Dads, sons and daughters who have a special someone in their life they call Mom. Mother’s Day is upon us! Have you made plans yet? If not, I’ve got you covered. Mom will love these Oreo cookie chocolate truffles. The bonus is they’re great to make with your kids.
Ingredients:
12 Oreo cookies (I like to use the chocolate stuffed Oreos)
1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon chocolate syrup
1/2 teaspoon unsalted butter (room temperature)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Coating:
1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
1/3 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 teaspoon vegetable oil
Directions:
- Pulse whole Oreo cookies in food processor until crumbly. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
- Add sweetened condensed milk, chocolate syrup, vanilla extract and butter. Mix well.
- Roll into bite-sized balls.
- Place on parchment or wax paper and freeze for 30 min.
- In a double boiler, add chocolate, vanilla extract and oil.
- Melt chocolate mixture on low heat until it has reached a runny consistency.
- Dip truffles one at a time until coated.
- Using a fork, place dipped balls on parchment paper.
- Decorate as you like! You can use sprinkles, coloured sugar or drizzle melted white chocolate.
- Refrigerate until chocolate is hard to touch – about 15-20 min.
- Serve once ready or keep in fridge until ready to give to Mom!
