Why This Easter Oreo Truffles Recipe Works

Ingredient Notes

Oreos are my favourite indulgence ever.. so these little easter truffles are just calling my name. They look delicious!
So beautiful! You do such a lovely job of decorating 🙂
I love anything with oreos in it, so I will definitely have to give these a try. Love how cute and springy these are too!
So pretty! Since my Easter is this weekend, I think I’ll give them a try. Never had these with golden Oreos but that sounds so good!
I made these yesterday for Easter and they were delicious and so pretty! Although they did not look quite as nice as yours, so any tips you can provide about how to dip the truffles would be appreciated. I unsuccessfully used a kabob stick and then I just used my fingers, but it left small bare chocolate spots on the sides. For my first time using melted chocolate though, I think they turned out pretty great. Thanks for the recipe!!!
I use a fork to dip and then tap the fork on the dish to remove excess chocolate. Voila!
