Ingredients
- 1 package (14.3 ounces) Oreo cookies
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 16 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (for melting)
- Optional: Sprinkles, white chocolate, or other decorations
Step-by-Step Instructions for Making the Recipe
- Crush the cookies: Place the entire package of Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until they are finely crushed. Alternatively, place them in a large resealable bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Combine with cream cheese: In a large bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and softened cream cheese.
- Mix well: Use a mixer to thoroughly mix until a smooth, cohesive mixture forms.
- Roll into balls: Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls.
- Chill: Place the Oreo balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place them in the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes. This helps them hold their shape and harden.
- Melt chocolate: Place semi-sweet chocolate chip in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.
- Dip the balls: One at a time, dip the chilled Oreo balls into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Use a fork or dipping tool to remove them and allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- Decorate (optional): Before the chocolate sets, immediately sprinkle with sprinkles, drizzle with white chocolate, or add any other desired decorations.
- Set and Serve: Place the dipped truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate them for at least another 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden completely.
- Enjoy! Once the chocolate is set, serve and enjoy these delectable Valentine's Oreo Truffles! Your Valentine's Day celebration is about to get a whole lot sweeter!
