- 1 8 oz. block cream cheese, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 12 oz. white melting chocolate
- Sprinkles
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. Use clean hands to mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
- Step 3: Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls. For best results, freeze the balls for 10 to 15 minutes to help them firm up.

Tips & Variations

- For a different flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or peppermint extract to the mixture.
Storage
Store these truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. To enjoy, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving. Avoid freezing after coating to maintain the best texture.

FAQs
Can I use regular Oreos instead of Golden Oreos?
Yes, regular Oreos work well too and will give the truffles a classic chocolate flavor instead of the vanilla taste from Golden Oreos.
How do I prevent the chocolate from seizing while melting?
Make sure no water gets into the chocolate during melting. Use a dry bowl and utensils, and melt the chocolate slowly over low heat or in short bursts if using a microwave.
