Christmas Oreo Truffles
Ingredients
- 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 12 oz white chocolate or candy melts
- Festive sprinkles (red, green, and white)
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos:Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and blend until they form fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Mix the filling:Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a bowl and add softened cream cheese. Mix until fully combined and a dough-like texture forms.
- Shape into balls:Using a tablespoon or small scoop, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill the truffles:Refrigerate the truffle balls for 20-30 minutes, or until firm.
- Melt the white chocolate:Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Coat the truffles:Using a fork or skewer, dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing them back onto the parchment-lined sheet.
- Decorate:Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle the truffles with festive sprinkles for a holiday touch.
- Set the truffles:Allow the coated truffles to sit at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate hardens.
Helpful Notes
- Storage: These truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
- Flavor Variations: Try swapping the white chocolate for milk or dark chocolate, or add peppermint extract for a minty twist.
- Gift Idea: Package these truffles in decorative boxes or cellophane bags for a simple and thoughtful Christmas gift!
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the truffle balls in advance and coat them in chocolate just before serving.
