How do I crush the Oreo cookies effectively?

Use a food processor for fine crumbs or place cookies in a ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin until evenly ground.

Can I substitute the cream cheese?

Softened cream cheese provides a smooth texture and tang; alternatives may alter consistency and flavor.

Melt white or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth to prevent burning.

Freeze the balls for about 30 minutes to firm up before dipping in melted chocolate.

Yes, festive sprinkles or crushed candy canes add color and texture, but nuts or cocoa powder can also be used.

Keep truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness.

A festive, no-bake treat featuring rich chocolate and creamy centers, perfect for holiday gatherings or edible gifts.

This is one of my favorite holiday treats to make because it brings family and friends together with minimal effort.

Truffle Base: 36 Oreo cookies (about 300 g), 225 g (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
Coating & Decoration: 300 g (10 oz) white chocolate or candy melts, 50 g (1.75 oz) dark chocolate (optional, for drizzling), Christmas-themed sprinkles or crushed candy canes

Step 1:: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2:: Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a ziplock bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
Step 3:: In a large bowl, mix the Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese until fully combined and smooth.
Step 4:: Scoop out small amounts (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll into balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5:: Freeze the balls for 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 6:: Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth.
