Ingredients
– 1 package (15.35 oz) Oreo cookies

Instructions
Making Oreo Cream Cheese Truffles is a delightful adventure. Follow these simple steps to create your truffles:
1. Crush Oreos: In a food processor, crush the Oreo cookies until they turn into fine crumbs. You can also place them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos and softened cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is well-combined and creamy.
3. Form Balls: Use your hands to scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Chill the Balls: Place the tray with the truffle balls in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This chilling step helps firm them up for easier coating.
5. Melt White Chocolate: While the truffle balls are chilling, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 15-30 second increments, stirring after each increment until smooth. You can add vegetable oil for a thinner consistency if desired.
6. Coat the Truffles: Remove the chilled truffle balls from the refrigerator. Dip each ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Use a fork to lift them out and allow the excess chocolate to drip off.
7. Add Toppings: Before the white chocolate sets, sprinkle your desired toppings on each truffle or place them in a candy coating.
8. Set: Once all truffles are coated, return them to the baking sheet and let them sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens. You can also refrigerate to speed up this process.
9. Serve: Enjoy your delicious Oreo Cream Cheese Truffles straight from the fridge or at room temperature!
