Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the truffles
  • 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies about 36 cookies
  • 1 block (8 oz) cream cheese softened
For the coating and decoration
  • 1 bag (16 oz) green candy melts
  • 36 red heart sprinkles

Equipment

  • 1 18x13-inch rimmed baking sheet
  • 1 food processor
  • 1 4-cup microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

Make the truffles
  1. Line an 18x13-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Process the Oreo cookies in a food processor until finely crushed.
  3. Add the cream cheese and process until the mixture is evenly combined.
  4. Roll the mixture into 36 balls, using about 1 tablespoon for each, and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes, until firm.
Coat and decorate
  1. Put the green candy melts in a 4-cup microwave-safe bowl and microwave at 50% power in 30-second bursts, stirring between bursts, until smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes total.
  2. Dip each chilled truffle in the melted candy.
  3. Lift each truffle out with a fork, let excess coating drip back into the bowl, and return it to the baking sheet.
  4. Press one red heart sprinkle onto each truffle before the coating sets.
  5. Refrigerate for 15 minutes, until firm.

Notes

For even coating, make sure the truffles are firm before dipping and let excess candy melt drip back into the bowl. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week; freeze for up to 2 months. For a dairy-free variation, use dairy-free cream cheese and dairy-free candy melts.
