What you will need
This recipe uses 5 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 36 whole Oreo cookies
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 2 cups white or semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons sprinkles for decoration
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Crush the Oreos
Place all Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Alternatively place them in a zip lock bag and crush with a rolling pin until no large chunks remain.
Step 2: Mix the Filling
In a large bowl combine Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until a uniform dark dough forms. The mixture should hold together when pressed.
Step 3: Roll Into Balls
Scoop about one tablespoon of mixture and roll between your palms to form smooth balls. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 4: Dip and Decorate
Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil until smooth. Dip each truffle using a fork letting excess chocolate drip off. Place back on parchment and immediately add sprinkles before chocolate sets. Refrigerate 15 minutes.

Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:

- Not chilling the balls before dipping which makes them fall apart in warm chocolate
