Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 cookies Chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos)
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 8 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate chips or melting chocolate
- 0.5 cup Sprinkles or crushed nuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and process until they are finely crushed into crumbs. If you don't have a food processor, place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin until fine.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crushed cookies with the softened cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until a dense, even dough forms.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill the truffle balls in the refrigerator for 1 hour or in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up.
While the truffle balls are chilling, melt the chocolate chips or melting chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until smooth and fully melted.
Using a fork or a toothpick, dip each chilled truffle ball into the melted chocolate. Make sure it is completely coated, then transfer it back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
If desired, sprinkle the truffles with sprinkles or crushed nuts while the chocolate coating is still wet.
Allow the coated truffles to set at room temperature or refrigerate them until the chocolate hardens completely, about 15-20 minutes.
Serve immediately or store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
