Instructions
Preparation Steps
Begin by crushing the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor or place them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin. In a bowl, mix the cookie crumbs with softened cream cheese until everything is well incorporated and forms a smooth dough.
Roll the mixture into small balls, about one inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once all are shaped, chill the truffles in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm them up.
While the truffles are chilling, melt the chocolate candy melts according to the package instructions. Once melted, dip each chilled truffle into the chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Use a fork to lift and allow excess chocolate to drip off before returning them to the parchment paper.
Sprinkle the crushed Oreos on top of each truffle while the chocolate is still wet, then let them sit until the chocolate hardens. Enjoy your homemade Oreo truffles as a delicious snack or treat!
Notes
Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate for coating, or even add toppings like sprinkles for extra flair!
