Valentine Oreo Balls

I'm always on the lookout for any opportunity to make Oreo truffles, and Valentine's Day is a perfect time! These Valentine truffle treats make great gifts or snacks and are so addictive. They're definitely worth a try.

This was inspired by my mint Oreo truffles recipe and my chocolate Rice Krispie balls on this site, and pairs well with my amazing Oreo frappuccino recipe.

Ingredients

Golden Oreos: Any other vanilla or flavored sandwich cookie will work.
Cream Cheese: Use full fat cream cheese for this recipe to achieve the best results. Light just isn't as creamy and won't work as well.
White Bark or Melts: These melt in an ideal way and are softer to bite into than melted chocolate chips or chocolate.
Pink Gel Food Coloring: Use red, your favorite color or a different seasonal color instead.
Valentine sprinkles: Your favorite sprinkles, seasonal sprinkles of your choice cookie crumbs, crushed peppermint, toffee bits, finely chopped candy, chopped nuts, coconut or drizzle some melted chocolate on top will also look great.

Optional

Coconut or Vegetable Oil: If using chocolate chips a ½ to 1 teaspoon should be enough to smooth the chocolate out if necessary. If that doesn't work you might have to start over using fresh chocolate.

See the recipe card below for the exact quantities of each ingredient.

Instructions

Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs in a blender or food processer, then mix them with cream cheese. I recommend making your cookie crumbs in a food processor first and then adding cream cheese to it afterwards for best results or a wooden spoon works too. Just not as quickly.

Place scoops of the mixture on a baking sheet. Place into the freezer for an hour. You must freeze the cookie mixture inside your freezer before rolling into balls and dipping into the chocolate or the cookie balls can fall apart during the dipping process.

You will now be able to shape them into balls.

Melt the almond bark, then stir in pink gel food coloring. If the chocolate is melted and too thick, add a bit of coconut oil. Dip the balls into the pink chocolate, then place them back on the baking sheet. Decoate the Valentine's truffles with sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet. Chill until hardened.

Recipe Tips

Your chocolate will sweat when temperature changes too quickly causing moisture to release. This is ok and may happen if chocolate covered cookie balls aren't kept somewhere between your refrigerator and room temperature.
If using a double boiler keep your element on medium, water below a rolling boil and only add your top pot when your water is hot and ready. Stir chocolate constantly until smooth and shiny.
If you heat your chocolate inside your microwave I recommend using 50 percent power so your chocolate doesn't burn at 30 second and then 15 second intervals. Stirring in between each interval.
I recommend rolling your cookie mixture into balls and freezing them until you're ready to dip in chocolate and decorate for best results.
Avoid water getting inside your chocolate candy bowl or it will ruin the chocolate.
Use a fork or two to gently adjust each truffle around in the melted chocolate and then place on parchment paper. I have a spoon in the chocolate to help make sure each truffle is covered in chocolate, if needed.
Allow the excess chocolate to drip down back into the bowl through the tines of the fork. Tap your hand, not the fork, on the side of your bowl to protect the truffle from damage.
Add sprinkles immediately after placing on parchment covered baking sheet. Use sprinkles to hide imperfections.

Storage Directions

Refrigerator: Store these for up to 2 weeks in an air-tight container.

Freezer: Store the truffles in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw them in the fridge for a few hours when you want to eat them.

Make Ahead: You can make the cookie mixture a day in advance. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you're ready to dip in chocolate.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use regular chocolate chips instead of melting candy?

You definitely can but your truffles will have a different texture and won't be as soft to bite into. You'll also need to add a half a teaspoon to a teaspoon of vegetable or coconut oil to make the chocolate smooth.

Can I use different flavors of sandwich cookies?

You most definitely can. Use your favorite and you won't be disappointed.

Why won't my candy melt?

If your candy is older, or if it's already melted and re-hardened, it may not be able to melt. You can add a teaspoon or two of coconut or vegetable oil and stir until smooth. If that doesn't work you may need to start over with a new batch of chocolate candy.
