🥘Ingredients

For the Truffle Filling

14 Oreo cookies
8 oz cream cheese
1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Coating

12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tsp coconut oil
Sprinkles for decorating

👨‍🍳Directions

1Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and rolling with a rolling pin.
2Set aside 2 tablespoons of the crumbs for coating.
3In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreo crumbs, cream cheese, and vanilla extract.
4Mix until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
5Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up.
6Once the mixture is firm, use a small cookie scoop or spoon to form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
7Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and return to the refrigerator while you prepare the coating.
8Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl.
9Stir every 30 seconds until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
10If necessary, add a little more coconut oil to thin the chocolate.
11Dip each truffle ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork to coat it evenly.
12Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
13Place the coated truffle back onto the baking sheet.
14While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the truffles with the reserved Oreo crumbs and additional sprinkles for decorating.
15Place the truffles back into the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to set, about 5 minutes.
