Rich, creamy Oreo truffles coated in white or pink chocolate and decorated with festive Valentine sprinkles. These easy no-bake treats are perfect for gifting, parties, or sweet holiday desserts.
Ingredients
Truffle Base
- 36 Oreo cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
Coating & Decoration
- 12 oz white chocolate or candy melts
- Pink or red food coloring (optional)
- Valentine sprinkles or heart candies
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Crush Oreos: Use a food processor to crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs for a smooth truffle base.
- Combine Mixture: Mix the Oreo cookie crumbs with softened cream cheese until fully combined and uniform in texture.
- Form Balls: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet for shaping.
- Chill Truffles: Refrigerate the rolled balls for 20–30 minutes until they are firm enough to dip.
- Melt Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate or candy melts according to package directions, usually using a microwave or double boiler method.
- Tint Chocolate: If desired, add pink or red food coloring to the melted chocolate and stir well for an even color.
- Dip Truffles: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each firm truffle ball into the melted chocolate until fully coated, then place it back onto the parchment paper.
- Add Decorations: Immediately decorate the coated truffles with Valentine-themed sprinkles or heart candies before the chocolate sets.
- Final Chill: Chill the decorated truffles in the refrigerator until the chocolate coating is completely set and firm.
Notes
- Use gel food coloring for the best, vibrant color results.
- Store the truffles refrigerated for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- Freeze truffles for up to 1 month for longer storage.
- For variety, dark or milk chocolate can be used instead of white chocolate.
