Ingredients
- 1 pound, 4 ounce package of Oreo Cookies
- 8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces white chocolate almond bark or chocolate chips
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate almond bark or chocolate chips
- Christmas sprinkles for decoration
- Milk Chocolate Candy Melts
- White Chocolate Candy Melts
- Red and Green Food Coloring
Step-by-step Directions
1. Prepare the Oreo Mixture
Pulse the Oreo cookies in a food processor until they are finely crumbled. Add the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract to the crumbled cookies and process until the mixture is thoroughly combined.
2. Chill the Mixture
Transfer the cookie mixture to a bowl and place it in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up. This makes the mixture easier to handle in the next steps.
3. Form the Truffles
After chilling, use a cookie scoop to portion the dough into small balls. Roll each portion between your palms to smooth them out, then arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Freeze the Truffles
Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let the truffles set for 15-30 minutes. This step ensures they hold their shape when dipped into the chocolate.
5. Melt the Chocolates
Melt the white chocolate, milk chocolate, and semisweet chocolate separately in microwave-safe bowls, using 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
6. Color the White Chocolate
Divide the melted white chocolate into three separate bowls. In the first bowl, add a few drops of green food coloring; in the second, a few drops of red; and leave the third bowl plain.
7. Dip and Decorate
Dip the chilled truffles into the various chocolates, allowing the excess to drip off before returning them to the parchment paper. Quickly apply Christmas sprinkles and drizzle with melted red and green candy melts for a festive look.
8. Setting the Truffles
Allow the truffles to harden at room temperature or in the refrigerator before packaging or serving.
Servings & Preparation Time
This recipe yields approximately 40 truffles. The total preparation time, including the chilling and setting steps, is about 2 hours.
Tips for Storage & Reheating
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- For longer storage, freeze the truffles on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag, allowing them to be stored for up to two months.
- There is no need to reheat the truffles; thaw frozen truffles in the refrigerator before serving.
Conclusion
The Oreo Cookie Truffles Delight are more than just a treat; they are a festive experience in themselves. With their crunchy-creamy texture and a delightful mix of flavors, they are sure to be your go-to recipe for bringing joy and festivity to your holiday events.
