Ingredients
- 1 family-size package Golden Oreos
- ½ bag mini semi-sweet chocolate chips 6oz
- 1 block 8 oz cream cheese
- 2 bags white vanilla melting wafers Ghirardelli recommended, but other brands work as well
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos: You can use a blender, or smash them in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin.
- Add the cream cheese: Mix until the mixture reaches a cookie dough–like consistency.
- Add the chocolate chips: Add about half a bag of mini chocolate chips (or more, to taste).
- Form and freeze: Roll the mixture into balls. Freeze for at least 1 hour.
- Coat with white chocolate: Prepare the vanilla melting wafers according to the package directions. Dip the truffle balls in the melted white chocolate and place them on parchment paper to harden. You will probably not need both packs of coating entirely.
- Optional decorations: Melt additional chocolate chips and drizzle over the truffles, if desired. Sprinkles are also an option, but they must be added before the white chocolate hardens.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate until ready to serve.
