These Oreo Truffle Brownie Bombs are a chocoholic’s dream come true! Easy, no-bake Oreo truffles are surrounded by a fudgy baked brownie and coated in chocolate!
So as you may know, I’m writing my second cookbook. It’s very exciting and I cannot wait to be finished so I can hold it and carry it everywhere and bring it up in any conversation, relevant or not.
But like, it’s hard writing a book. It’s by no means an easy, swift process. ESPECIALLY when you’re writing a cookbook.
Because unlike novels and sci-fi fiction and whatnot, you actually have to cook all of the recipes in your book and then write about them. It’s like a double whammy… until you try all of the treats because it’s your job and then you gain ALLTHEWEIGHT. So it’s like a triple whammy. (Side note: is Whammy still on the air? If so, I’d have lost and that scary red furry monster would be appearing any time now. Secondary side note: perhaps I haven’t had enough to drink to see scary furry red monsters yet. Will update you when I’m drunk).
So anyway, when I’m not writing the book, baking the book’s recipes or going to the store to buy all the groceries for the book, I’m writing for this blog, baking the blog’s recipes and going to the store to buy all the groceries for the blog.
In a word? (Okay, two). I’m exhausted.
But it’s a good exhaustion, like if you just ran a marathon (or, at least, I’m assuming. I have never and will never run a marathon) or woke up at midnight on Black Friday to elbow people in the face to get the latest video game or whatever. It’s like that: hard and trying, but in the end, so worth it.
And you know what? I’d do it immediately all over again.
ANYWAY, so it’s been kind of hard to think up ideas for both book and blog. I want to continue to bring you amazing recipes here, because this blog is my baby. But I also want to save really awesome ones for the book, so people have an incentive to buy it besides out of the kindness of their sugar-loving hearts.
So I’ve been scraping the bottom of the dessert barrel trying to find awesome recipes for you to post here. And guys! I finally found one!
These Oreo Truffle Brownie Bombs are just what I needed to surprise you guys and keep you on your feet. They’re SUPER outrageously chocolaty and fudgy and wonderful, and they would be perfect for the holidays if you give edible gifts away.
Basically, you just whip up a batch of fudgy brownies and let ’em cool. While they cool, make your Oreo truffles and freeze ’em. Then wrap the truffles with the baked brownies and let them chill for a sec while you melt your chocolate candy coating. Dunk ’em and sprinkle the tops with crushed Oreos and voila!
You can thank me for my brilliance later.
- 1 box fudge brownie mix, plus ingredients on back of box
- 2/3 pkg (about 20 cookies) Oreo cookies (regular, not Double Stuf), finely crushed
- 1/2 pkg (4 oz) cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 pkg chocolate almond bark (such as CandiQuik)
- Additional Oreo crumbs for sprinkling on top, optional but recommended
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare the brownie mix according to package directions for fudgy brownies. Pour into a greased 13×9″ rectangular baking pan and bake for 19-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with moist, not wet, crumbs. Do not bake too long as the brownies MUST be fudgy in order to make the bombs work. Cool completely.
- While brownies cool, make your Oreo truffles. In a large bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs and the cream cheese with a rubber spatula until blended and moistened. Roll Tablespoon-sized balls of Oreo truffle and place them on a foil-lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 30 minutes.
- Cut the brownies into 24 equal pieces, making sure to trim off the edges as they’re too crusty and hard to work with. Take a brownie square and gently flatten it in the palm of your hand. Wrap the brownie around the Oreo truffle, pinching and rolling the brownie in your hands to completely enclose the truffle. Place the brownie bombs onto the baking sheet. Freeze for approx. 30 minutes or until solid and firm.
- Melt the chocolate candy coating according to package directions or until smooth and melted. Dip each brownie bomb into the chocolate coating, coating it completely and allowing excess to drip off. Return to the baking sheet with a fork and sprinkle with remaining Oreo crumbs, if desired. Alternatively, you may sprinkle on chocolate or rainbow sprinkles, or drizzle any remaining chocolate over the finished bombs. Store any leftovers airtight in the fridge or freezer.
Fudgy, gooey and ultra rich, these Oreo Truffle Brownie Bombs may be my new favorite! You’ll be shocked at how easy they are to make and how they’re even easier to eat!

My fiance would go bonkers over these– must make! I think dipping some of them in vanilla candy coating would up the cookies and cream factor. Anything wrapped in a brownie and dipped in chocolate is not going to be bad!!!

Molly, your fiance (and you!) will DEFINITELY enjoy these and I LOVE the idea of using vanilla candy coating instead (or half & half!). Smart idea!!
