Ladybug Valentine’s Day Truffles

Before I had kids I wasn’t really into Valentine’s Day. Maybe that’s because I spent a few years single before I got married LOL. It’s not quite as much fun when you’re on your own!

Now that I do have kids, I remember why I liked Valentine’s Day so much when I was a kid myself…..CANDY and CHOCOLATE and SWEETS!!

Every year the kids and I make sweet treats for the occasion, like these Strawberry Ladybugs we created a couple years ago.

I loved those cute little ladybugs, so I’m excited to show you the Ladybug Valentine Truffles we have this year! They’re made with Oreos, almost like cake pops! And they’re no bake!

Easy peasy and so gosh darn adorable!!

What You Need to Make Ladybug Oreo Truffles

  • Oreo cookies — the classic cookies will work perfectly here
  • Cream cheese — about half of a “brick” or 4 ounces
  • Red candy melts — you can also make your own by combining melted white chocolate and red food coloring
  • Miniature chocolate chips — just the right size for our ladybug spots
  • Edible candy eyes — these are so versatile! We used them in our slime cookies too!

Kitchen Supplies Used:

  • Cookie sheet
  • Parchment paper or non-stick silicone baking mat — We love these silicone mats because they are washable, reusable, and nothing sticks to them!
  • Microwave safe mixing bowls

How to Oreo Truffles for Valentine’s Day

Combine crushed Oreo cookies and softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl. We used a food processor to crumble up our cookies, but you can put them in a large ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin too.

Fold the Oreo crumbs and cream cheese together until you have a dough like mixture.

Roll the Oreo and cream cheese mixture into small oval-shaped balls, about 2 inches by 1 inch. Place each truffle on a lined cookie sheet. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour.

Heat the red candy melts in 20 second intervals, stirring between, until melted and smooth. Be sure to use a microwave safe bowl and handle carefully, as the bowl may become hot.

Dip the end of each Oreo truffle into the melted chocolate, so that 3/4 of the truffle is coated. Place them back on the baking sheet.

Place mini chocolate chips on the back of your ladybugs, while chocolate is still soft. Use extra melted chocolate like “glue” to attach two candy eyes to each Valentine truffle.

Allow the Valentine truffles to set for about 30 minutes, or until chocolate has hardened. Enjoy!
