Description

Ingredients

• 36 Oreo cookies (one package)
• 1 8-oz block cream cheese, set out at room temperature for 5 minutes, divided into 4 even sections
• 16 oz Bakers semi-sweet chocolate
• Optional: sprinkles
• To make Peppermint Oreo Truffles:
• 16 oz white baking chocolate
• 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
• 3-4 finely crushed candy canes

Directions

• In a food processor, blend Oreos and cream cheese until the cream cheese is well blended. I like to divide the cream cheese into 4 even sections and then place on top of the Oreos throughout before starting the processor. This helps ensure the cream cheese gets evenly distributed.
• Using the best kitchen tools available - your hands - form 1-inch balls. Simply roll them around between the palms of your hands until they are nicely rounded.
• Place onto a baking sheet covered with wax paper or parchment paper.
• Place in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes. This really helps set the truffles and also helps the chocolate coating go on more smoothly.
• In the meantime, melt the baking chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir, then microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring well in between each one, until chocolate is just melted.
• Remove the truffles from the refrigerator and dip half of them in the baking chocolate, fully coating all sides.
• Sprinkle colored sugar sprinkles over each truffle, if you wish.
• Place coated truffles onto wax or parchment paper on a baking sheet and set aside in the refrigerator.
• Next, remove the second half of the Oreo balls from the refrigerator.
• Melt the white baking chocolate in a microwave, in similar fashion as you did for the regular chocolate.
• Repeat the dipping process with the white chocolate.
• Sprinkle each truffle with some crushed candy canes.
• Refrigerate until you are ready to serve these.
