Ingredients
- 16 ounce package Oreos
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 2 bags of light green candy melts
- 1/3 cup white candy melts
- 1 tablespoon red heart sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a cookie tray with parchment paper
- Place cookies in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin, or pulse in a food processor until fine.
- Blend crushed cookies with softened cream cheese until a thick dough forms.
- Roll into small balls and place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
- Freeze the truffles for 15–30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt green candy melts and dip each ball until fully coated. Place back on parchment paper.
- Drizzle with melted white candy melts.
- Press two red heart sprinkles onto each truffle before the drizzle sets.
Notes
- Chill the truffle mixture well before dipping, so the balls will hold their shape when placed in the hot candy mixture.
- If the Candy melt mixture seems too thick, thin it with a small amount of coconut oil. Be careful, as a little goes a long way.
- Be careful not to overheat the candy melts—microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring each time until smooth.
- Always use dry utensils when dipping; even a single drop of water can cause the coating to seize.
