Ingredients
  

For the truffles
  • 36 Oreo cookies
  • 8 package (8 oz) cream cheese softened
For the chocolate coating and decoration
  • 16 bag (16 oz) semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • 2 tbsp sprinkles gold and silver

Equipment

  • 1 13x18-inch rimmed baking sheet
  • 1 food processor
  • 1 microwave

Method
 

Make the truffles
  1. Line a 13x18-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pulse the Oreo cookies in a food processor until finely crushed, add the cream cheese, and process until evenly combined.
  3. Scoop the mixture into 1-tablespoon portions, roll into balls, and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Freeze the truffles for 15 minutes, until firm but not frozen solid.
Melt the coating
  1. Microwave the chocolate chips and oil in a microwave-safe bowl at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
Dip and decorate
  1. Dip each truffle in the melted chocolate, lift it out with a fork, and let excess chocolate drip back into the bowl; return it to the baking sheet and immediately add sprinkles.
  2. Refrigerate for 20 minutes, until the chocolate is set, and keep refrigerated until serving.

Notes

For a neat coating, work with the truffles while they are firm and add the sprinkles immediately after dipping. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; freeze for up to 2 months. For a dairy-free variation, use dairy-free cream cheese and semisweet chocolate chips.
