Supplies:

Ingredients:

Pack of golden oreos, 18 cookies
4 oz cream cheese, softened

Red food coloring

Valentines Day Chocolate Oreo Truffle Ingredients

Directions:

1. Gather supplies.

2. Place Oreos in a stand mixer with paddle attachment.

3. Mix at low speed until all of the oreos are crushed into a fine oreo crumble. Tip: a food processor can be used for this step too.

4. Add softened cream cheese to the mixing bowl.

5. Mix on medium speed until a soft dough forms.

6. Add a few drops of red food coloring to the dough and combine until it all becomes a fun shade of pink.

7. Cover the dough in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

8. Melt the white chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 15 to 30 second intervals, checking and stirring each time so that the chocolate doesn’t burn.

9. Coat the bottom and sides of the heart shapes in the silicone mold.

10. Place the mold in the fridge to set for about 10 mins.

11. Remove the mold and the dough from the fridge.

12. Scoop the dough into tablespoon sized balls and press them into the heart shaped forms.

13. Cover the back of the hearts with more melted white chocolate.

14. Place the mold in the fridge for at least 1 hour to chill and set.

15. Remove the truffles from the fridge and pop them out of the mold onto a piece of parchment paper.

16. Drizzle with melted pink chocolate and top with Valentines sprinkles.

17. Place the chocolate truffles in the fridge and allow them to set completely before serving.

Store these yummy treats in a large freezer bag or airtight container at room temperature for a few hours. They can also be stored in the fridge for a week or freezer for up to three months.

TIPS FOR MAKING THESE SWEET TREATS:

Use Wilton candy melts for best results, the wafer chocolate melts the best. Add one teaspoon of coconut oil to other melted chocolate chips to help them melt and pour better.
Lay the chocolate covered treat on a parchment lined baking sheet for easy moving and transporting before the chocolate has hardened.
Place the chocolate truffles in the fridge or freezer to completely cool before serving.

Easily make this recipe into Valentine cake pops by adding a dab of melted chocolate to the end of a lollipop stick and placing the stick into the bottom of the truffle heart.

These Valentine’s Day truffles are a fun addition to a cookie baking exchange this holiday season! Try using peppermint extract, milk chocolate chips, golden oreos, different colored candy melts, crushed candy canes, white chocolate drizzle or red sprinkles for a totally different look.
