How to Make Valentine’s Day Oreo Truffles
- Prepare a baking sheet with waxed paper.
- Place the cookies into a food processor and pulse until the cookies become fine crumbs.
- Cut the cream cheese into chunks and add the cream cheese to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture is well blended and forms a large ball.
- Using a small cookie scoop, portion the cookie dough into 1-inch balls and roll into a smooth ball.
- Optional: For best results, freeze the oreo balls prior to decorating.
- Dip each ball into the melted chocolate and tap to remove the excess chocolate. Place the cookie ball on the prepared cookie sheet and immediately decorate with sprinkles.
- Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator for about 1 hour or until firm.
Tips & Tricks
- Freeze Before Dipping: Freezing the Oreo balls before coating them in chocolate helps them maintain their shape and makes dipping easier.
- Use a Fork or Dipping Tool: Place each truffle on a fork, dip it into the melted chocolate, and gently tap off the excess for a smooth finish.
- Decorate Quickly: Add sprinkles immediately after dipping the truffles—before the chocolate sets—to ensure they stick.
- Experiment with Flavors: Try Golden Oreos, Mint Oreos, or even seasonal flavors to add a unique twist.
