Colorful Oreo Truffle Balls

Ingredients

  • 1 - 15.5 ounce package of Oreo's
  • 1 - 8 oz package cream cheese (softened)

Instructions

  • Crush the Oreos until they turn into fine crumbs (mixer or food processor).
  • Then cream together crumbs with the softened cream cheese (electric mixer works good for this part).
  • Form the mixture into small balls (smooth as possible). Place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Freeze the balls for 30-60 minutes.
  • Melt the candy melts in small microwavable cups. Read package instructions for details.
  • Place balls (cold or frozen) into the melted candy. Use a fork and skewer to hold the ball and then dip into  the melted candy.
  • Place the ball/truffle back on the cookie sheet. Decorate with candy eyes, colorful nonpareils, confectionaries, etc. while still still wet.
  •  Let harden.

Notes

TIPS for "chocolate" candy melts:
Melt candy melts (Wiltons or similar brand) in the microwave.
Read the directions on how to melt. When "chocolate" candy melts, it is ideally a smooth mixture.
However, if it comes in contact with water, it will “seize” or turn into a grainy, clumpy mess.
If you melt the candy too long (overheated), it will be thick and lumpy.
Pay close attention to the instructions and you'll melt these candies just fine.
