Ingredients

1 package Oreos (15.25 oz)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
6 oz vanilla almond bark
Food coloring of your choice (optional)
Sprinkles of your choice (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Process the Oreos in a food processor until they become fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl.
Step 2: Mix the softened cream cheese into the Oreo crumbs until well blended. Using your hands works best to evenly combine the mixture.
Step 3: Form the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them in a freezer-safe sealed container. Freeze the truffles for 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 4: Melt the vanilla almond bark in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and completely melted. Add food coloring if desired and mix well.
Step 5: Using a spoon, dip or spoon the melted almond bark over each truffle to coat completely. Add sprinkles before the coating hardens.
Step 6: Store the coated truffles in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.

Tips & Variations

Try using different flavors of almond bark or chocolate coatings, such as dark or milk chocolate, for variety.
If you don’t have a food processor, place the Oreos in a sealed bag and crush them with a rolling pin until finely ground.
For a festive look, use themed sprinkles and matching food coloring to suit holidays or parties.
Let the truffles cool on parchment paper to prevent sticking while the coating sets.

Storage

Store Oreo truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. To enjoy them at room temperature, remove from the fridge about 15 minutes before serving. If frozen, thaw in the refrigerator before eating.

FAQs

Can I use regular chocolate instead of almond bark?

Yes, you can use regular chocolate chips or bars melted carefully in the microwave or over a double boiler. Almond bark is easier to work with because it melts smoothly and hardens quickly.

Do I have to freeze the truffles before coating?

Freezing helps the truffles firm up, making them easier to dip and preventing them from breaking apart. If you’re short on time, chilling them in the fridge for an hour may work, but freezing is preferable.
