Timesaving Tips and Helpful Hints
- You can make the Oreo crumbs ahead of time. When making cookie truffles, it is important to pulse or crush the cookies in a food processor or blender until they become fine crumbs.
- I prefer to melting wafers in the microwave as it is quick.
- Use a small cookie scoop to help form uniform balls.
- Work in small batches - roll into 1-inch balls or 1 ½-inch balls for best results.
- You can use wax paper on your hands to help form the balls with less sticking.
- Allow dipped truffles to cool completely before serving.

Oreo Truffles
Equipment
- food processor or baggie and rolling pin
- Hand mixer
Ingredients
- 36 Oreo Cookies
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 12 oz. red candy melts
- 12 oz. blue candy melts
- 12 oz. vanilla almond bark
- 4 th of July sprinkles
Instructions
- Add half the Oreo cookies to your food processor, and blitz to crumbs.
- Add the remaining Oreos, and blitz again until they're all crumbs.
- Add the 8 ounces cream cheese, and mix in the processor until well combined.
- Roll the oreo and cream cheese mixture into 1-1 ½ inch balls, and place onto a sheet pan or cutting board covered with wax paper.
- Once all of the mixture is rolled, move them to the refrigerator to chill for 1 hour.
- If needed, after the hour is up, roll the Oreo balls again to make them more round (sometimes they will settle).
- After chilling, heat the blue candy melts in the microwave by heating for 30 second increments, stirring well in between.
- Drop blue candy over half of the Oreo balls, letting the excess drip off. Place them back onto the wax paper. For the best results, place each ball onto a fork and let the candy fall over.
- Top every other blue Oreo truffle with sprinkles, quickly before the candy sets. (We'll drizzle the others with more candy.)
- For the remaining Oreo balls, melt the red candy melts in the microwave by heating on 30 second increments, stirring well in between.
- Add sprinkles to every other red Oreo ball.
- For the white drizzle, melt the almond bark in the microwave, by heating on 30 second increments.
- Pour the melted almond bark into a plastic sandwich storage bag. Then, snip off a tiny spot from one corner.
- Drizzle the blank Oreo balls with the white candy, and quickly add sprinkles.
- Allow the Oreo truffles to set for 30 minutes, and enjoy.
