Christmas Heart OREO Cookie Truffles
These Christmas Heart Oreo Cookie Truffles are as sweet as they are simple! A rich Oreo filling gets coated in festive green chocolate, then finished with a tiny red heart—Grinch-approved and totally delicious!
Equipment
- Food processor or blender
Ingredients
- 1 (13.29-ounce) package Oreo cookies
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese at room temperature
- 1 (12-ounce) package green candy melts
- 18 to 20 red heart sprinkles see note 1
- Vegetable oil optional, if needed to thin the chocolate
Instructions
- Pulse the full Oreo cookies (no need to separate cream from cookie) in a food processor or blender until it is in crumbs.
- Using a hand mixer, beat the Oreo cookie crumbs and cream cheese together until well combined. Roll the mixture into balls. Chill the balls, covered tightly, for an hour in the fridge or freeze for 20 minutes.
- Once the balls are chilled, melt the candy melts according to package directions. You may need a teaspoon (or a few) of vegetable oil to get the chocolate thin enough to dip in. Every chocolate is a little different, so if needed, I just add the oil slowly until it coats the truffles well.
- Place a ball on a fork and spoon the melted chocolate evenly over the ball. Tap the fork holding the ball to remove excess chocolate.
- Press a red heart candy in the center.
- Allow to dry at room temperature.
Notes
Note 1: There are a few options for the heart center—heart sprinkles, mini heart cinnamon candies, or piping on the shape of a heart with red candy melts. If you’re making the Santa hat along with these truffles, it might be easiest to transfer some melted red chocolate into a small plastic bag, cut off the tip, and pipe on the shape of a heart.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
