Ingredients List

You’ll need the following ingredients to make your Valentine Oreo Truffles:

• 36 Oreo cookies (regular or double-stuffed)
• 1½ cups milk chocolate chips
• ½ cup white chocolate chips
• Valentine heart sprinkles

Timing

Prep Time:

15 minutes

Cook Time:

10 minutes

Additional Time:

2 hours freezing time

Total Time:

2 hours 25 minutes

Servings:

Approximately 24 truffles

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oreo Crumbs

Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until you achieve medium-fine crumbs. This will form the base for your truffles.

Step 2: Mix with Cream Cheese

Add the cream cheese to the Oreo crumbs and pulse until fully combined. The mixture should be smooth and malleable.

Step 3: Form the Truffles

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll into balls. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 4: Freeze the Truffles

Freeze the truffles for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, to ensure they are firm enough to dip in chocolate.

Step 5: Melt the Chocolate

In a double boiler, melt the milk chocolate chips over medium heat. Alternatively, microwave them for 1-2 minutes at 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds.

Step 6: Coat the Truffles

Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate to coat it thoroughly, then return to the baking sheet.

Step 7: Decorate the Truffles

Melt the white chocolate in the same manner and use it to pipe decorative designs over the truffles. Sprinkle with Valentine heart sprinkles before the chocolate hardens.

Step 8: Final Touches

Add a pinch of jimmies on top of each truffle before the chocolate hardens completely.
