Indulge in these festive Christmas Present Oreo Truffles that combine creamy chocolate and delightful Oreo crunch into irresistible holiday treats.
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 regular Oreo cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 12 oz chocolate melts (dark or white)
- Festive sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos: Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and blend until they resemble fine crumbs. Alternatively, use a ziplock bag and a rolling pin.
- Mix It Up: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese. Mix until fully blended using your hands or a spatula.
- Shape into Balls: Roll the mixture into bite-sized balls (about one inch in diameter). Arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt Your Chocolate: While the truffle balls chill, melt the chocolate melts according to package instructions in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler until smooth.
- Coat Your Truffles: Dip each chilled truffle ball into the melted chocolate using a fork, allowing excess chocolate to drip off before placing them back on the parchment-lined sheet.
- Add Sprinkles: Before the chocolate sets completely, sprinkle festive decorations over each coated truffle for added color and cheer.
- Serve or Store: Serve these delightful truffles at your holiday gatherings or package them as gifts!
