Valentine’s Day Oreo Truffles are rich, decadent treats made from crushed Oreos and cream cheese, coated in chocolate. These bite-sized delights are perfect for celebrating love and are easy to make for your special someone!

Ingredients

• 1 package Oreo cookies (15.35 ounces)
• 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• 12 ounces white chocolate chips (for coating)
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (optional, for smoother coating)
• Red and pink sprinkles (for decoration)

Timing

Making Valentine’s Day Oreo Truffles takes about 15 minutes for preparation and 30 minutes for chilling.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oreo Mixture

1. Crush Oreos: In a food processor, crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, you can place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
2. Mix with Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract (if using). Mix until well combined and a dough forms.

Step 2: Shape the Truffles

1. Form Balls: Using your hands, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place the truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 3: Chill the Truffles

1. Refrigerate: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up the truffles.

Step 4: Melt the Chocolate

1. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. If desired, mix in vegetable oil for a smoother consistency.

Step 5: Coat the Truffles

1. Dip Truffles: Once the truffles are firm, dip each one into the melted white chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
2. Decorate: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle red and pink sprinkles on top of each truffle for a festive touch.

Step 6: Set and Serve

1. Let Set: Allow the chocolate coating to set completely at room temperature or refrigerate for a few minutes to speed up the process.
2. Serve: Enjoy your delicious Valentine’s Day Oreo Truffles!
