• 1 cup pastel-colored candy melts (assorted colors)
• Easter-themed sprinkles

Directions

Step 1: Make the Oreo Truffle Filling

1. Crush the Oreos – In a food processor, blend the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. (No need to remove the filling.)
2. Mix with Cream Cheese – In a large bowl, mix the crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese until fully combined and smooth.

Step 2: Shape and Chill

3. Form Truffles – Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Chill – Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until firm.

Step 3: Melt the Candy Coating

5. Melt Candy Melts – In separate bowls, melt the yellow/white candy melts and pastel-colored candy melts according to the package instructions (microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between).

Step 4: Coat the Truffles

6. Dip the Truffles – Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled truffle into the melted candy coating, ensuring it is fully covered. Let excess coating drip off.
7. Decorate – Place the coated truffles back on the parchment paper and immediately add Easter-themed sprinkles before the coating hardens.

Step 5: Chill and Serve

8. Set the Coating – Let the truffles sit at room temperature or refrigerate for 15 minutes until the coating is firm.
9. Enjoy! Serve chilled or at room temperature.

FAQs

1. Can I use different flavors of Oreos?

Yes! Try golden Oreos, peanut butter Oreos, or mint Oreos for a unique twist.

2. How do I prevent my truffles from cracking?

Make sure the truffles are not too cold before dipping into warm candy melts, as the temperature difference can cause cracks.

3. What’s the best way to dip truffles without making a mess?

Use a fork or truffle-dipping tool to lower the truffle into the melted candy, tap off excess coating, and place it on parchment paper.

4. Can I use white chocolate instead of candy melts?

Yes, but add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable shortening to help it melt smoothly.

5. How do I make my candy melts smoother?

If the melted candy is too thick, add a small amount of vegetable shortening or coconut oil to thin it out.

6. Can I decorate the truffles differently?

Absolutely! Try crushed candy canes, chocolate drizzle, or edible glitter for extra flair.

7. How long do these truffles last?

They stay fresh in the refrigerator for about a week and can be frozen for up to 3 months.

8. Can I make these without a food processor?

Yes! Place Oreos in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin until fine crumbs form.

9. Do I need to refrigerate the truffles before serving?

Yes, refrigeration helps the chocolate set and keeps the filling firm.

Yes! These truffles are perfect for making a few days in advance and storing in the fridge until needed.
