Peanut Butter OREO Cookie Balls
Peanut Butter OREO Cookie Balls the ultimate holiday treat to share with family and friends! This is a sponsored post through Yummly on behalf of OREO.
If there is one holiday treat that I simply can’t resist it would be the OREO Truffle! They are so good and I just want to eat them one right after another.
Of course you know I can’t help but do a little recipe experimenting. Last year I made OREO-Coffee Ice Cream Truffles, which were out of this world amazing. This year I kept it pretty simple by adding a little peanut butter in the mix. The results were just as amazing.
There are just so many possibilities with this classic holiday treat. There are lots of fun ideas over on Snack Works. I’ve seen some pretty fancy OREO Truffles on Pinterest decorated like a snowman or reindeer, they are just too cute! Talk about a fun idea for school parties.
I bake a lot of cookies and my one exception for store bought cookies is the OREO cookie. When I was a kid my favorite holiday cookie was the white chocolate dipped OREO. When you crush up the OREOS with cream cheese and dip them in chocolate, it is something magical.
If you have not tried an OREO Truffle, now is the time. Stop what you are doing and head to the store, you must do this! OREO Truffles are so easy to make, a great treat to make with the kids and share with your family and friends.

Can these be made in advance and frozen?
Hi Theresa,
Yes you can freeze them. Just add in a single layer to a zip top freezer bag or wrapped in a few layers of plastic wrap and then a layer of foil.
Good luck!

Great, thanks. Also can natural peanut butter be used?
