Valentine’s Oreo Truffles Recipe

Ingredients

• 36-42 golden Oreo cookies
• 6 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
• 20 drops pink food coloring, divided (adjust to color preference)
• 16 ounces vanilla candy coating
• Favorite Valentine sprinkles

Instructions

1. 1

   Crush the Oreos: Place 36 Oreo cookies in a food processor or smash them in a sealed bag until fine crumbs form.

2. 2

   Mix Ingredients: Transfer the crumbs to a mixer or keep in the processor, add softened cream cheese and 10 drops of pink food coloring, mixing thoroughly until it forms a sticky dough.

3. 3

   Shape the Truffles: Using a small ice cream scoop, melon baller, or rounded teaspoon, scoop uniform amounts of the mixture and roll between your palms into firm 1 1/4 inch balls. If mixture is too thin, add more cookie crumbs.

4. 4

   Freeze the Balls: Place the rolled balls on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and freeze while preparing the candy coating.

5. 5

   Melt Candy Coating: Break up the vanilla candy coating and microwave in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.

6. 6

   Dip the Truffles: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each ball into the melted candy coating, tapping off excess on the bowl’s edge.

7. 7

   Decorate: Place the coated truffles on parchment paper and immediately sprinkle with Valentine-themed sprinkles while the coating is still soft.

8. 8

   Repeat Dipping: Continue dipping and decorating remaining truffles until all are coated.

9. 9

   Set the Coating: Refrigerate the tray of dipped truffles for at least 15 minutes until the coating sets solid.

10. 10

    Serve: Allow the truffles to come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor and texture. Enjoy!
