Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 36 pieces Oreo cookies
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Maraschino cherries, drained and chopped
- 12 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 ounces White chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they are finely crushed into crumbs.
Transfer the cookie crumbs to a large mixing bowl and add the softened cream cheese. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Fold in the chopped maraschino cherries until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls. Place the truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
While the truffles are chilling, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth. Stir in the vegetable oil to achieve a glossy finish.
Using a fork or a dipping tool, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate until fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the truffle back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
If desired, melt the white chocolate chips in a separate microwave-safe bowl and drizzle over the truffles for decoration.
Chill the finished truffles in the refrigerator for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is fully set.
Serve chilled and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
