Step-by-step
- Place the Oreos (filling & all) in a food processor (in batches if necessary) and process until fine crumbs are formed and large chunks are gone.
- Mix in the softened cream cheese until very well combined and the dough becomes sticky.
- Roll about 1- 1 ½ tablespoons of dough into a ball and set aside on a plate or in a container that you can fit in the freezer.
- Freeze the balls for at least 30 minutes.
- Place the white chocolate in a small microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until melted.
- Cover a few small plates with wax paper.
- Remove 1-2 Oreo balls from the freezer at a time.
- Drop them into the chocolate and roll them around carefully with a fork (try not to pierce them).
- Slide the fork underneath the flatter part and lift.
- Slide the bottom of the fork across the edge of the bowl to let the excess chocolate drip off, then set on top of the wax paper.
- Melt 6 oz. of the semi-sweet chocolate in a bowl and place the balls on a large plate once they have all set.
- Dip the tip of a fork into the chocolate and shake it a bit to let some of the chocolate drip back into the bowl.
- Raise the fork high above the truffles and wave the fork around so that the chocolate would fling off in thin streams onto the Oreo balls.
- You can also top them with sprinkles or Oreo crumbs right after they’ve been dipped- then you’re done!
