Instructions

Pulse the Oreos (including the cream) in a food processor or blender until they become fine crumbs. Using a hand mixer, beat the Oreo crumbs and cream cheese together until well combined.
Roll the mixture into balls and chill them in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
Melt the candy melts or chocolate chips according to package instructions. If needed, add a small amount of vegetable oil to thin the mixture. Place a chilled truffle ball on a fork, spoon the melted candy/chocolate over the ball, and tap the fork to remove excess. Slide the ball onto parchment paper.
Immediately decorate each truffle as described in note 2. Allow to dry completely before serving.
