Ingredients

1 package (15.25 oz) Oreo cookies
8 oz cream cheese, softened
12 oz white or dark chocolate (for coating)
Sprinkles, crushed candy canes, or extra chocolate for decoration (optional)

How to Make Festive Oreo Christmas Truffles

Crush the Oreos: Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. If you don’t have a food processor, you can place the Oreos in a Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin until they are finely crushed.
Make the truffle filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos and softened cream cheese. Use a spatula or your hands to mix until well combined. The mixture should be thick and dough-like.
Form the truffles: Roll the Oreo mixture into small, bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the rolled truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill the truffles: Place the truffles in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up. This step is important to ensure they hold their shape when dipped in chocolate.
Coat the truffles: Once the truffles have chilled, melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Use a fork to remove the truffle from the chocolate and gently tap it on the side of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate.
Decorate: While the chocolate coating is still wet, sprinkle the truffles with festive decorations like sprinkles, crushed candy canes, or drizzle with extra melted chocolate for a fun and colorful touch.
Chill and set: Place the dipped truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
Serve and enjoy: Once the chocolate is set, your Festive Oreo Christmas Truffles are ready to serve. Enjoy them at your holiday gatherings or package them up as a sweet homemade gift!

Tips

Use softened cream cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
Melt chocolate carefully: If using a microwave, heat the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, to prevent it from burning.
Decorate with variety: Have fun with the toppings! You can use holiday sprinkles, edible glitter, or even drizzle with a different chocolate for added decoration.
Make ahead: These truffles can be made a few days ahead of time and stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.

Substitutions and Variations

Dark chocolate: If you prefer dark chocolate, it pairs wonderfully with the sweet, creamy filling.
White chocolate chips: For a smoother coating, you can use white chocolate chips instead of melting a chocolate bar.
Add flavoring: If you want to experiment with flavor, you can add a splash of peppermint extract to the filling for an extra holiday twist.
Vegan version: Use vegan cream cheese and dairy-free chocolate for a vegan-friendly version of these truffles.

Make a Healthier Version

Lower sugar: You can reduce the sugar by using sugar-free Oreos and light cream cheese.
Dark chocolate coating: Dark chocolate is a healthier option with less sugar compared to milk chocolate, and it pairs well with the sweet filling.
Healthier sweetener: You can swap out the regular cream cheese for a lighter version or a dairy-free cream cheese alternative to make them lighter.
