These Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffles are literally the simplest candies I have ever made. You would never know how simple based on how beautiful they look and their wonderful flavor. So we can keep this our secret, right?
The rather unlikely combination of cookies and cream cheese magically transform into something completely different and delightful. The ratio of the Oreo cookies and Nutter Butter cookies makes for just the right balance of chocolate and peanut butter. I think the addition of the peanut butter candy swirl on top is the perfect finishing touch too.
These do have dairy in them, so your probably don't want to store them on the countertop. Not that storage will be much of a problem - these will disappear quickly!
You can use the same basic recipe with other cookie flavors - let your imagination run wild!
