Prep Time: 40 mins
Additional Time: 1 hr 50 mins
Total Time: 2 hrs 30 mins
Servings: 48
Yield: 48 truffles

Ingredients

  1. 1 (14 ounce) package cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreo®)
  2. 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  3. ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  4. 1 (16 ounce) package white candy melts
  5. 2 tablespoons colored candy sprinkles (Optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 36 sandwich cookies in a food processor.
  2. If you’d like to decorate the finished truffles with cookie crumbs, discard the filling from any remaining cookies and place the wafers in a small resealable bag. Crush with a rolling pin and set aside until needed.
  3. Pulse the cookies in the food processor until they become fine crumbs. Add cream cheese and powdered sugar; process until well mixed. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Remove cookie mixture from the refrigerator and roll into forty-eight 1-inch balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  6. Toward the end of the chilling time, place candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted and smooth. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  7. Remove balls from the refrigerator and dip, one at a time, into the melted chocolate. Shake off any excess and place back on the lined baking sheet. Sprinkle reserved cookie crumbs and/or candy sprinkles over truffles while chocolate is still wet.
  8. Place truffles in the refrigerator until coating is set, about 15 minutes.
