Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 package Oreo cookies (about 15-20 cookies)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
Coating and Decorations
- Green candy melts
- White chocolate chips or Wilton candy melts for decorating
- Red and green sprinkles
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos: Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or place them in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin until evenly crumbed.
- Mix with cream cheese: Combine the Oreo crumbs with the softened cream cheese in a bowl, mixing thoroughly until a uniform dough-like mixture forms.
- Form balls and chill: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them evenly spaced on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt green candy melts: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the green candy melts in 30-second increments, stirring between each until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip truffles: Using a fork or dipping tool, coat each truffle ball in the melted green candy, ensuring full coverage. Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment paper.
- Decorate: Before the coating hardens, sprinkle red and green sprinkles over each truffle and optionally drizzle with melted white chocolate for added decoration.
- Set and serve: Allow the truffles to set at room temperature or refrigerate until the coating is firm. Store in an airtight container and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened for easier mixing.
- If you don’t have a food processor, crushing Oreos in a sealed bag works just as well.
- Use a fork to dip and remove truffles for less mess and easier handling.
- You can swap candy melts for colored white chocolate melts depending on availability.
- Store the truffles refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week.
- Allow the truffles to come to room temperature before serving for best flavor.
