Ingredients
Scale
- 22 regular Oreo cookies
- 22 Red Velvet Oreo cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature, divided
- 10 oz red candy melts divided
- 10 oz dark green candy melts divided
- 10 oz white candy melts divided
- white sparkly sanding sugar optional
Instructions
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Pulse the Oreo cookies in a food processor until finely ground and place in a bowl.
- Repeat with Red Velvet Oreo cookies, placing them in a separate bowl.
- In a medium mixing bowl, blend half of the cream cheese until smooth.
- Add regular Oreo crumbs to the blended cream cheese and mix thoroughly.
- Repeat the blending process with the remaining cream cheese and Red Velvet Oreo crumbs.
- Using a 1.5-inch cookie scoop, form evenly sized Oreo cream cheese balls and shape them into cubes. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for two hours.
- Melt the desired color of candy melts for the bows in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between.
- Pour the melted candy into silicone bow molds and refrigerate until set.
- Melt the candy melts for dipping the truffles using the same microwave method.
- Dip each Oreo truffle into the candy melts using a fork, letting excess chocolate drip off before placing on the baking sheet.
- Top with sanding sugar and sprinkles if desired.
- Repeat the coating process with the remaining truffles in different colors.
- Melt the remaining candy melts for drizzling over the truffles.
- Use a piping bag to drizzle the melted chocolate over the truffles to create a ribbon effect. Add mini bows once the drizzle sets.
- Let the decorations set completely before serving.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easier blending.
- You can use any color candy melts to match your festive theme.
- Allow truffles to cool completely after coating for the best texture.
