- 20 Golden Double Stuffed Oreos
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 10 oz dark green candy melts
- Large red sprinkles to decorate
Line your work surface with parchment and place on a plate or cutting board that will fit in the fridge/freezer.
Using a food processor, grind the Golden Oreos into a fine crumb.
20 Golden Double Stuffed Oreos
Place the crumbs in a medium bowl and combine with the softened cream cheese. Mix until combined.
4 oz cream cheese
Scoop out a heaping tablespoon’s worth of the dough and roll into a round ball. Place on the parchment and repeat until all the dough is used up.
Chill the rolled dough in the fridge/freezer for about 20 minutes.
Melt the green candy melts in a microwave safe bowl, heating in 30 second increments and stirring well between each interval.
10 oz dark green candy melts
Using a spoon, dip each chilled dough ball in the green candy melts and coat. Scoop out the ball and tap off the excess candy melt on the side of the bowl. Transfer the truffle ball to the parchment again and use the tip of the spoon to cover up any areas that appear thin or where the spoon left an indent. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Once all the truffles have been dipped, transfer the remaining candy melt to a piping bag. Cut off a small hole in the end and quickly drizzle over the top of the truffles.
Place a single large red heart sprinkle on top of each truffle.
Large red sprinkles
- Do not add green food coloring to white chocolate chips or candy coating. It will seize up and you will be unable to use it. Candy melts can be found in some local grocery stores, craft stores and online.
- Chocolate and candy melts can scorch easily. Make sure you do not over cook them.
- Candy melts set quickly especially on chilled dough. Work quickly and in small batches to ensure time to place the sprinkles before it sets up.
