Caramel Oreo Truffles take a rich and buttery caramel and crushed Oreos to create a sweet, rich, caramel/cookies and cream truffle covered in melted chocolate. If you love classic Oreo Truffles you are going to love these!
What a pick me up for the middle of the week eh? As I write this post, I am sitting with a YouTube video playing as background noise, munching on one - or three - of these truffles. The flavour of these truffles is so hard to put into words but I shall try to do my best.
By now, I'm sure a lot of you are award of Oreo Truffles. Super quick and easy and absolutely showstopping. If I go anywhere and I need to bring a food, Oreo Truffles are my go to for sure!
They're my Mother's favourite treat of mine and honestly, I look for excuses to make a batch almost daily!
I've played with the classic recipe before on this blog including Nutella Oreo Truffles and Oreo Truffle Red Velvet Bars but never with caramel. The idea never actually crossed my mind until I had leftover Oreo crumbs and leftover Caramel Filling from other recipes. I was thinking of ways to use them up and the idea just popped into my head.
These will only work with the caramel recipe listed below or a really thick, store bought caramel. I recommend making the caramel below because 1) its super easy 2) it's amazing! 3) you won't get any artificial caramel taste.
The flavour of these is like a sweet, buttery, slightly caramel flavour with a an undertone of Oreos that's soft and melting in the mouth and just a hint of chocolate from the chocolate coating. I know the description may not make complete sense but just trust me, you will understand once you make them!
