Christmas Golden Oreo Truffles Recipe
Introduction
These Christmas Golden Oreo Truffles are a festive and irresistible treat perfect for holiday gatherings. Combining creamy white chocolate with crumbly golden Oreos, they’re easy to make and delightful to eat. They also make wonderful gifts or party snacks during the season.
Ingredients
- 1 14.3 oz. package Golden Oreos
- 1 8 oz. block cream cheese, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 12 oz. white melting chocolate
- Sprinkles for decorating
Instructions
- Step 1: Place the Golden Oreos in a food processor and process until they become fine crumbs.
- Step 2: Transfer the crumbs to a bowl. Add the softened cream cheese broken into small pieces and the vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly—using your hands works best to combine everything evenly. Just be sure your hands are clean.
- Step 3: Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls. For best results, freeze the balls for 10–15 minutes to firm up before coating.
- Step 4: Melt the white chocolate according to package instructions or using a double boiler. Dip each truffle ball into the melted chocolate, coating evenly, then place on parchment paper. Immediately sprinkle with your choice of festive sprinkles.
- Step 5: Repeat the coating process with all the truffle balls. Allow them to cool and the chocolate to set completely before serving—or enjoy them right away if you can’t wait!
Tips & Variations
- For extra festive flair, try using red and green sprinkles or edible glitter to decorate your truffles.
- If you don’t have a food processor, place the Oreos in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin until finely ground.
- You can substitute cream cheese with mascarpone for a richer flavor.
- Use dark or milk chocolate instead of white for a different twist on flavor.
Storage
Store these truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. When ready to enjoy, you can serve them chilled or let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes for a softer texture. Avoid storing them in a warm place as the chocolate coating may melt.
