Ingredients
Scale
- 36 Oreo cookies (family-sized pack)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 4 ounces pink candy melts
- 4 ounces blue candy melts
- 4 ounces green candy melts
- 1/4 cup festive sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
- In a stand mixer or food processor, crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs.
- Add the softened cream cheese and mix until a smooth dough forms.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Roll the chilled mixture into tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Freeze the balls for at least 1 hour to firm up.
- Melt each color of candy melts in separate microwave-safe bowls, heating in 15 to 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth.
- Using a fork, dip each frozen Oreo ball into the melted candy coating, letting the excess drip off.
- Place the coated balls back on the parchment-lined sheet and immediately top with festive sprinkles.
- Allow the chocolate coating to set by refrigerating the truffles until firm.
Notes
- For smoother dipping, add 1-2 teaspoons of vegetable oil to the candy melts if they seem too thick.
- Use different Oreo flavors (Golden, Mint, Peanut Butter) for a variety of tastes.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week, or freeze for up to three months.
- If cracks appear in the coating, drizzle extra melted candy melts over them for a decorative look.
