Santa Hat OREO Cookie Truffles
These Santa Hat Oreo Cookie Truffles are as cute as they are delicious! Creamy Oreo truffles get shaped into festive hats, dipped in red candy melts, and finished with a sprinkle-trimmed marshmallow.
Equipment
- Food processor or blender
Ingredients
- 1 (16-ounce) package regular Oreo Cookies
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese at room temperature
- 1 (12-ounce) bag red candy melts
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 18 to 20 miniature marshmallows
- White nonpareils sprinkles
- Vegetable oil optional, to make the candy melts easier to work with
Instructions
- Pulse the full Oreos (no need to separate cream from cookie) in a food processor or blender until it is in crumbs.
- Using a hand mixer, beat the cookie crumbs and cream cheese together until well combined.
- Roll the mixture into balls. Form those balls into tall triangles—the shape of a hat.
- Chill the triangle balls, covered tightly, for an hour in the fridge or place in the freezer for 20 minutes.
- Once the triangles are chilled, melt the red 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 bit different, so if needed, I just add the oil slowly until the chocolate coats the truffles well.)
- Place the triangle Oreo truffle on a fork and spoon the melted chocolate evenly over the ball. Tap the fork holding the truffle to remove excess chocolate.
- Slide the truffle carefully onto parchment paper and immediately (it hardens quickly) press the mini marshmallow on top of the hat. Allow the truffle to harden completely.
- Once hardened, melt the white chocolate in bursts of 15 seconds, stirring between each burst for 15 seconds until completely melted (see note 1).
- Dip just the marshmallow into the melted chocolate (just barely coat), then dip in a bowl of the white sprinkles. Shake off the excess.
- Repeat for the base—dip in melted white chocolate (or spoon it on), then dip in the bowl of sprinkles. Allow to set up at room temperature. Enjoy!

Notes
Note 1: Depending on how quickly you work and/or how fast the chocolate hardens, you might have to remelt the chocolate a few times.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
