EASY Nutella Truffle Balls
Yes, yes I am jonesing for chocolate that much that I need to make truffles no matter what. Especially when those truffles are made of just 3 ingredients: Nutella, Oreos, and chocolate.
I’m sure by now you’ve all seen that 3-ingredient Nutella Brownie video that’s going around on Facebook. I’ve actually seen that recipe making the rounds on blogs for awhile. I’ve never tried it but it looks really good and last week I was craving it. The problem is I don’t have an oven and I’m afraid to bake in my toaster oven. What’s a girl to do?
Why you’ll love this recipe
I decided to combine my love of Nutella with my love of Oreo truffles (you know, the Oreo + cream cheese recipe.) But instead of cream cheese, I used Nutella. And if you don’t like chocolate hazelnut spread, you can use any chocolate spread out there. Hershey’s, Reese’s, and some peanut butter companies all make versions. You could even use Golden Oreos!
What’s in Nutella Truffles?
- Oreos – Use regular, not double stuff. Any flavor that pairs with hazelnut spread will work.
- Nutella or other chocolate spread – this is in place of the cream cheese used in Oreo truffles.
- Melting Chocolate – Like candy melts or almond bark, for dipping.
Nutella Truffle Tips
- You need a food processor for this recipe.
- Let the cookies and Nutella process for awhile, at least a minute depending on your food processor. It’ll start to form a ball, that’s how you know it’s done.
- The batter was quite soft when it was done processing. I scooped out 1 tablespoon balls of truffle dough and chilled them for an hour until they were firm enough to dip. If you find that your mixture is too soft to scoop, chill it for 15 minutes, then scoop it, then chill it again.
- I prefer to use melting chocolate for dipping truffles because it melts easier than chocolate chips (no seizing) and dries better. You can buy melting chocolate, like Candiquik or almond bark, in the baking aisle. I melted 8 ounces but used about 6 ounces. It’s better to melt more than you think you’ll need!

3 ingredient Nutella Truffles Recipe
Ingredients
- 20 Oreo cookies
- 5 tablespoons Nutella or other chocolate spread
- 6-8 ounces melting chocolate such as Candiquik or almond bark
- Sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Place Oreos and Nutella in a food processor. Process until a smooth mixture remains and a ball starts to form while the processor is running. This will take at least a minute, depending on your food processor.
- If truffle mixture is too soft to roll, chill for 15 minutes. Otherwise, scoop 1 tablespoon balls of truffle dough onto a wax paper lined cookie sheet. Chill at least one hour. (I do not recommend chilling the mixture that long until after you’ve scooped the truffles. It becomes hard and hard to scoop, so if you need to chill the dough first, just do it about 15 minutes, then scoop, then chill again.)
- Melt chocolate according to package directions. I like to use melting chocolate like Candiquik and almond bark because it’s easier to melt and won’t seize like chocolate chips often does. You can find this chocolate in the regular baking aisle. My chocolate melted in about 1-1/2 minutes on high power, and I stirred it every 30 seconds.
- Dip each truffle in the chocolate, tap off excess, and place back on cookie sheet. Sprinkle with sprinkles, if desired. Chill to set. Store in refrigerator for up to 5 days.

The construction guys may be wondering what the heck you’re up to, but I bet if you offered them some of these, they’d never wonder again! You’d become their favorite person!
When I was in middle school, I knew I wanted to be in the band, but I had no idea what instrument I wanted to play! My mom and I went to the music store in search of an instrument. It would’ve been so much easier if I had one in mind like Jordan! PS: these are awesome truffles and I’m sure I couldn’t stop with just one 🙂
You had me at Nutella. These would a great little treat for our upcoming road trip. I can’t wait to hear how Jordan does with the violin!
I play the violin and still remember the look on my mom’s face when I said that was the instrument that I wanted to play! She definitely wasn’t sure how the first few weeks of “playing” were going to go! I hope Jordan sticks with it and loves it!
I hope so too! My fingers are crossed. 🙂
Yummy! I might add Baileys to these and see how they turn out…
YES!! Just use less Nutella to start. Enjoy!
I was already craving chocolate tonight and then I saw these… let’s just say now I’m craving chocolate AND nutella! These are so fun; I love the sprinkles!!
Sometimes I get the most intense craving for Nutella. It’s crazy!
These look so festive and sinfully good! Â Three or four years ago I took my daughter to a symphony, and afterwards we were talking with one of the musicians and he asked her what instrument she would play in an orchestra. Â She said violin also! Â But, I know that watching routine and closet-organizing you tube videos would win out every time!
Truffles with Nutella? Um, yes PLEASE! These look fantastic!!!
These look great. Did you share them with the construction guys? I’m sure they would love to be on the receiving end of your munchies!!! 🙂
LOVE these – so simple yet satisfying. I’m into it. <3
Thank you!! I was way to into them, haha!
