When my gramma passed away, I acquired a lot of her cookbooks and recipes. Most were random index cards or scraps of paper with little notes on them. Some were cut from old magazines. I noticed a lot of her baking recipes called for Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers. I’d seen them in the stores, so I decided to grab a box and create a super simple, very quick, and really easy recipe with them. Gramma definitely knew what she was doing – because these Orange Chocolate Truffles are AMAZING! I hope you like them as much as I do!
What you need:
- 25 Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers (crushed)
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon orange extract
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
Coating:
- 8 oz Vanilla Candy Coating
- 1/2 teaspoon orange extract
Make them:
Place the first four ingredients into a medium bowl and mix until well combined. You can use your hands or a plastic spatula for this.
Use your cookie scoop or hands to roll into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place each ball on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper, and put in freezer for about 15 minutes.
While the balls are chilling, melt your candy coating (you can also use chocolate for this!) in the microwave, in a small bowl. Stir in orange extract until well combined.
Dip each ball until it’s fully covered, then place them on the cookie sheet.
Sprinkle with orange zest or sprinkles, and serve!
Keep these in the fridge.
This recipe makes 12 truffles.
