Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 36 Oreos
- 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature, chopped
Coating
- 16 oz pink candy melts (pink, red, white, or a mix)
- 2 oz white candy melts (for drizzling)
Decoration
- Valentine’s Day sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper to prevent the truffles from sticking during freezing and setting.
- Crush Oreos: Place the Oreos into a food processor and pulse until you get fine crumbs, ensuring a smooth base for the mixture.
- Make the truffle dough: Add room temperature cream cheese to the Oreo crumbs and pulse again until the mixture resembles cookie dough. Use a small cookie scooper to portion out equally sized balls and roll each between your palms until smooth. Place balls on the lined baking sheet and freeze for 30 to 60 minutes to firm up.
- Melt candy melts: In microwave-safe bowls, melt the pink candy melts and white candy melts separately, heating in short intervals and stirring until smooth.
- Coat truffles: Using a fork or chocolate dipping fork, dip each chilled truffle ball into the melted pink candy melts, rolling to coat evenly. Tap off any excess coating on the side of the bowl before placing back on the baking sheet to set.
- Decorate: Once coated truffles have started to set, drizzle white candy melts on top in a decorative pattern and immediately sprinkle Valentine’s Day sprinkles for a festive finish.
- Set and serve: Place the decorated truffles in the refrigerator and let them set for 30 to 60 minutes before serving for best texture.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Use a small cookie scooper to keep all truffles uniform in size for even coating and setting.
- If candy melts are thick, add a small amount of vegetable oil or shortening to thin for easier dipping.
- Store truffles refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Variations: swap Oreo cookies for other sandwich cookies or use different color candy melts to match other occasions.
