Instructions:
- Step 1: Crush the Cookies - Begin by crushing the 22 Oreo cookies and 22 red velvet Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. You can do this in a food processor or by placing the cookies in a zip-top bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
- Step 2: Mix with Cream Cheese - In a mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with 8 ounces of softened cream cheese. Mix until well combined and a dough-like consistency forms.
- Step 3: Form the Truffles - Using your hands, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Step 4: Chill the Truffles - Refrigerate the truffles for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- Step 5: Melt the Candy Coatings - While the truffles chill, melt the red, green, and white candy melts in separate microwave-safe containers according to package instructions. Stir until smooth.
- Step 6: Coat the Truffles - Once the truffles are firm, dip each one into the melted candy melts using a fork or dipping tool. Allow excess candy to drip off before placing them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Step 7: Add Decorations - While the coating is still wet, sprinkle with white sparkly sanding sugar if desired. You can also drizzle contrasting colors over the top for added decoration.
- Step 8: Set the Coating - Let the truffles sit at room temperature or refrigerate them briefly to set the candy coating.
Notes
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- For longer storage, freeze in a single layer and then transfer to a freezer-safe container for up to three months.
- Experiment with different Oreo flavors for unique variations!
