Substitutions And Additions

CANDY CANES: If you are going the peppermint route, you could mix ½ cup of crushed candy canes into your mixture
How To Make This Recipe For Oreo Balls
Let’s have a quick look at the steps to making these irresistible truffles.
STEP ONE: Line a baker’s half sheet with parchment paper.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
A baker’s half sheet is approximately 17×12-inches in size.
STEP TWO: Pulse Oreo cookies, complete with filling, in a food processor until you achieve fine crumbs.
PRO TIP:
If you don’t own a food processor, you can place the Oreos in a large Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin. You will want to make sure the bag is completely sealed.
STEP THREE: Reserve ¼ cup Oreo cookie crumbs from the food processor, and set aside for later.
PRO TIP:
Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so that it blends well and doesn’t leave lumps in the truffle mixture.
STEP FOUR: Add the room-temperature cream cheese and vanilla to the cookie crumbs in the food processor and pulse until fully incorporated.
PRO TIP:
If your food processor does not fully incorporate the cream cheese and Oreo cookie crumble, you can finish mixing by hand.
STEP FIVE: Use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop to measure out 21 equal-sized portions.
Roll into small balls by hand and place truffles on the prepared baking sheet.
STEP SIX: Freeze the Oreo balls until slightly hardened. This should take about 15 to 20 minutes.
PRO TIP:
Don’t skip the chilling time! The chilled balls will be much easier to work with than ones at room temperature.
STEP SEVEN: Melt shortening and wafers in 30-second intervals at a time in a microwave-safe bowl until melted. Stir well between each heating.
STEP EIGHT: Dip hardened truffles into melted wafer mixture. Turn with a fork until well coated.
STEP NINE: Immediately return to the prepared baking sheet and top with Oreo crumbs and the optional dark chocolate drizzle.
STEP TEN: Allow truffles to sit at room temperature to harden.
