Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 36 Regular Oreos
- ½ cup whipped cream cheese spread
- 12 ounces vanilla almond bark
- Green gel food coloring, as needed
- 18 red heart sprinkles
Instructions
- Crush Oreos: Use a food processor to crush the Oreos into fine crumbs, ensuring even texture for the truffles.
- Combine with cream cheese: In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the Oreo crumbs with the whipped cream cheese spread until a uniform dough forms.
- Form balls: Using a cookie scoop, portion out the mixture and roll each into smooth balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet for easy handling.
- Chill the balls: Refrigerate the formed balls for 30 minutes to 1 hour to help them firm up and hold their shape better during coating.
- Melt almond bark and color: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the vanilla almond bark until smooth, then stir in green gel food coloring to achieve your desired festive green shade.
- Dip truffles: Dip each chilled truffle ball into the melted almond bark, making sure to coat completely. Let the excess coating drip off to avoid clumps.
- Add sprinkles: While the coating is still wet, press a red heart sprinkle onto the top of each truffle for a charming decorative touch.
- Final chill: Place the coated truffles back in the refrigerator until the coating sets completely, about 15-30 minutes, before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the whipped cream cheese is softened for easy mixing.
- Use a food processor for finely crushed Oreos for smoother truffles.
- You can substitute almond bark with white chocolate chips if desired.
- Adjust the green gel food coloring quantity to reach your preferred shade.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
