Instructions
Place the Oreos in a food processor and process until you have crumbs.
Add the cream cheese to the food processor and process until combined.
Using a cookie scoop, scoop out the dough and place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place the dough balls in the freezer for about 15 minutes or until they have firmed up.
While you're chilling the Oreo truffles dough, melt the candy melts according to package directions. If using white chocolate chips melt them in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat them.
Remove the truffles from the freezer and, using the palms of your hands, roll each truffle into a round ball.
Using a fork, dip the entire truffle into the melted chocolate, tap lightly on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate, then slide the truffle off carefully with a toothpick and set it onto a wax paper-lined cookie sheet.
Immediately place the candy eyes on the top or the side of the truffle before the chocolate hardens. If you are using sprinkles, add them at this time as well.
Return to the refrigerator and allow the chocolate to set and harden, usually about 30 minutes, before serving.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
FOOD SAFETY NOTEBecause these Oreo truffles contain cream cheese, you should not leave them out at room temperature for longer than 2 hours because there's an increased risk of bacterial growth, which can cause foodborne illnesses.
