Ingredients
- 36 Oreo cookies from 1 pound 3 ounce package
- 8 ounce cream cheese softened
- 1 pound white almond bark
- 6 ounces red candy melts
- 6 ounces blue candy melts
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Using a food processor (or a large resealable bag and a rolling pin), crush cookies into fine crumbs.
- Place cookie crumbs and softened cream cheese in a large bowl. Mix together until well combined.
- Using a small cookie scoop, form dough into ball shapes. Roll the balls between your hands until the surface is smooth. Place on the lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- While dough balls are chilling, prepare the chocolate - break almond bark into squares and place in a microwave safe bowl.
- Heat the bark in the microwave for 1 minute, then stir chocolate. Continue heating for 10-15 seconds at a time, stirring after each heating cycle, until there are just a few small pieces of chocolate left. Stir until all the chocolate is completely melted.
- Using a fork, dip a chilled Oreo ball into the chocolate and tap off excess chocolate. Place on the lined baking sheet and let harden about 10-15 minutes. Repeat with a second layer of melted chocolate if necessary. Continue until all balls are coated. Allow chocolate to set & harden while you prepare the colored chocolates.
- Add candy melts to 2 separate microwave safe bowls. Start heating in microwave for 30 seconds, then stirring chocolate. Continue heating for 10-20 seconds at a time, stirring after each heating cycle. Stop when there are a few bits of chocolate left and stir until completely melted.
- Transfer melted chocolates to plastic squeeze bottles and drizzle Oreo truffle balls with red and blue chocolates.
- Immediately add sprinkles, before chocolate hardens.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
- Recipe makes 20-25 truffles. The quantity may vary based on the cookie scoop size.
- Store in refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
- Undecorated balls can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. To freeze, place a parchment paper between layers of Oreo balls.
- Recipe can be adapted for other holidays and occasions by changing the colors of the candy melts and sprinkles.
