Ingredients
- 1 (14.3 ounce) package Oreo cookies
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 16 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon shortening
- Valentine's Day sprinkles for decoration
Step-by-Step Instructions for Making the Recipe
- Crush the Oreos: Add the package of Oreos into a large ziplock bag. Close tightly and crush. You can use a rolling pin, or simply press down on them until they are fine crumbs. Alternatively, pulse in a food processor until fine.
- Mix the base: In a large bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the softened cream cheese. Mix well until a dough-like consistency is achieved.
- Roll the truffles: Roll mixture into 1-inch balls. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper.
- Chill the truffles: Place baking sheet in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and shortening. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.
- Dip the truffles: Remove truffles from the freezer. One at a time, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork or dipping tools to remove any excess chocolate.
- Decorate: Immediately sprinkle with your choice of Valentine's Day sprinkles.
- Let set: Place dipped truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Allow the chocolate to set completely, either at room temperature or in the refrigerator for a quicker set. Enjoy your Easy No-Bake Valentine's Day Oreo Truffles!
