Ingredients
Scale
- 1 family-sized package of Golden Oreos (around 36 cookies)
- 1 block of full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- Green gel food coloring
- White chocolate or white candy melts
- Red heart sprinkles or small red candies
- Optional: 1-2 teaspoons of shortening or refined coconut oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Oreos: Pulse the entire package of Golden Oreos in a food processor until they resemble fine crumbs. If you don't have a food processor, crush them in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin.
- Combine with Cream Cheese and Color: In a large mixing bowl, mix the crushed Oreos with the softened cream cheese and green gel food coloring until you achieve a uniformly green mixture.
- Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the mixture.
- Roll the Truffles: Scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into smooth, bite-sized balls, placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Second Chill: Refrigerate the rolled truffles for another 15-20 minutes.
- Melt the Chocolate Coating: Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until smooth, adding shortening or coconut oil if desired.
- Dip and Decorate: Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, and place them back on the baking sheet. Immediately add a small red heart sprinkle or candy on top.
- Final Set: Refrigerate the dipped truffles for at least 15-30 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to set.
