Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Mixture
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 36 golden Oreo cookies (14.3 ounce package)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coating
- 16 ounces vanilla almond bark
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace: Line a sheet pan or rimmed tray with parchment paper and set aside to keep your truffles from sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Crush the cookies: Use a food processor to finely crush the Golden Oreo cookies into crumbs. Depending on your food processor size, you may need to process them in two batches for an even, fine texture.
- Mix the truffle base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, finely crushed cookie crumbs, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to blend all ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Form the truffle balls: Roll the mixture into 1-inch diameter balls using your hands or a small scoop. Place each ball onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet for easy handling.
- Chill the truffles: Refrigerate the formed truffle balls for at least 1 hour to help them firm up and make coating easier.
- Melt the coating: In 30-second intervals, melt the vanilla almond bark in the microwave, stirring well after each interval until fully smooth and melted without lumps.
- Dip the truffles: Using a candy dipping tool or fork, dip each chilled truffle ball into the melted almond bark, allowing excess coating to drip off. Place the coated truffle back onto the parchment-lined sheet. If desired, immediately decorate with sprinkles before the coating sets.
- Set the truffles: Chill the coated truffles in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the coating to harden and the flavors to meld, making them ready to serve or store.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to avoid lumps.
- You can substitute vanilla almond bark with white chocolate or candy melts as desired.
- If you don’t have a candy dipping tool, a fork or toothpick works well to dip and lift the truffles.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Adding sprinkles is optional but adds a festive touch for celebrations.
- If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin to fine crumbs.
