I’ve been dreaming up these Golden Oreo Peanut Butter Truffles {Three Ingredients} for a long time, and I finally made them last week. HELLO!!! So yummy! I have a thing for peanut butter treats, and it seems to be getting worse. Have you tried these No-Bake Peanut Butter Corn Flake Treats, or this amazing Peanut Butter Candy Bar Fudge? Get them on your must-make list STAT!
Everybody loves the Oreo Truffles–the ones with cream cheese. Well, almost everyone. There might be something wrong with me, but I think they are just ok. (Please don’t throw rotten fruit at me for saying that.)
When Golden Oreos came out, I bought some and had the idea that they would taste great with peanut butter, so I made these little treats one day. They’re quite fantastic! If you haven’t tried them yet, you should definitely do that.
But that recipe got me thinking: What if I turned this recipe into truffles by crushing the Golden Oreos into crumbs and then mixing the peanut butter into the crumbs, rolling them into balls, and then dipping them in chocolate?
And Golden Oreo Peanut Butter Truffles were born.
Recipes for All the Peanut Butter Lovers
- No-Bake Reese’s Peanut Butter Pie
- Marshmallow Peanut Butter Crunch Brownies
- Chewy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola Bars
- No-bake Peanut Butter Energy Bites
- Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies
- Loaded Peanut Butter Reese’s Bars
Guys! These are so good. The crumbs are a little coarse, giving them the best texture and flavor! So fun to eat!
If you’ve got a peanut butter lover in your family, you’ve got to make these for them or with them.
They are fun to make. My kids love to dip things in chocolate, and they love putting sprinkles on things even more.

- Line a cookie sheet with parchment or wax paper and set aside.
- Put the cookies in a food processor.
- Mix on high until cookies are tiny crumbs.
- Next, put peanut butter in the microwave for 15-25 seconds, just enough to slightly soften. You do not want it to be melted or hot.
- Pour crumbs and peanut butter into a medium-size bowl.
- Mix together until completely combined.
- With a spoon or a 1 tbsp cookie scoop, scoop out the mixture and form it into balls.
- Place rolled ball onto cookie sheet and repeat until all the mixture has been made into tablespoon-size balls.
- Place cookie sheet of cookie balls into the freezer for 30-60 minutes. This will make them MUCH easier to dip.
- Remove the cookie balls from the freezer and quickly melt your dipping chocolate.
- Place a cookie ball into the melted chocolate. With a small spoon, cover the ball with the melted chocolate, making sure it is thoroughly coated.
- Next, carefully remove cookie ball and place back onto the cookie sheet. Add sprinkles at this point if you are using them. (If you wait too long, the chocolate will be set and the sprinkles won’t stick.)
- Repeat dipping the cookie balls until you are finished.
- I like to place each one in a mini-muffin liner and place them on a cute plate, box, or tin and give them as gifts.
- Enjoy!
Tips for making Golden Oreo Peanut Butter Truffles {Three Ingredients}
- The one part that is a little tricky, which little kids might have a hard time with, is getting them into little balls. The peanut butter makes them really sticky. So I found that having a piece of parchment paper next to where you are working is the best way to roll them out.
- Get a small scoop of dough and form it gently into a ball as best you can and sit it on the parchment paper. Then very gently with the palm of your hand roll it around until all the edges are smooth. Place it on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and move on to the next one.
- Once you have all the peanut butter balls ready, put them in the freezer for minutes to an hour, and then they will be ready to dip in chocolate.
- I like to use almond bark because it is so easy to melt and always cools with a nice hardened shell. Sometimes regular chocolate (because it doesn’t have much wax in it) doesn’t ever get that chocolate shell you are looking for with dipped truffles.

- 36 Golden Oreos
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 12-15 ounces of your favorite chocolate, melted (I use almond bark.)
- Holiday sprinkles, optional
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment or wax paper and set aside.
- Put the cookies in a food processor and process on high until cookies are tiny crumbs.
- Next, put peanut butter in the microwave for 15-25 seconds, just enough to slightly soften. You do not want it to be melted or hot.
- Pour crumbs and peanut butter into a medium-size bowl and mix together until completely combined.
- With a spoon or a 1 tbsp cookie scoop, scoop out the mixture and form it into balls. I found it easiest to keep a piece of parchment paper next to where you are working and form the scoop of mixture into a ball as best you can. Then put the ball down on the parchment paper and very gently roll it around with the palm of your hand until the edges are smooth.
- Place rolled ball onto cookie sheet and repeat until all the mixture has been made into tablespoon-size balls.
- Place cookie sheet of cookie balls into the freezer for 30-60 minutes. This will make them MUCH easier to dip.
- Remove the cookie balls from the freezer and quickly melt your dipping chocolate.
- If using Almond bark, this will take one or two minutes in the microwave. (I do 1 minute and then check and stir it. Then do 15-20 second increments until it is nice and melted and smooth.)
- Place a cookie ball into the melted chocolate. With a small spoon, cover the ball with the melted chocolate, making sure it is thoroughly coated.
- Next, carefully remove cookie ball and place back onto the cookie sheet. Add sprinkles at this point if you are using them. (If you wait too long, the chocolate will be set and the sprinkles won't stick.)
- Repeat dipping the cookie balls until you are finished.
- Store at room temperature, or if your house is hot, you can keep them in the fridge.
- I like to place each one in a mini-muffin liner and place them on a cute plate, box, or tin and give them as gifts.
- Enjoy!
