Serves: 24 truffles
Ingredients
- 1 package Oreo cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Lucky Charms cereal
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- Sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Place the entire package of Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until they become fine, uniform crumbs. If you don't have a food processor, place cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese. Mix thoroughly using a hand mixer or spatula until the mixture is completely smooth and well incorporated.
- Crush the Lucky Charms cereal into smaller pieces, reserving some marshmallow bits for decoration. Gently fold the crushed cereal into the Oreo-cream cheese mixture.
- Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into uniform balls approximately 1-inch in diameter. Place the formed truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Place the formed truffles in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up, which will make them easier to dip in chocolate.
- Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring between each interval to prevent burning.
- Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully coat each truffle in melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle the reserved Lucky Charms marshmallow bits and additional sprinkles on top of each truffle for decoration.
- Refrigerate the truffles for 30 minutes or until the chocolate coating is completely set and firm.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Allow to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving for the best texture.
Tips
- Ensure your cream cheese is truly softened at room temperature for the smoothest mixture.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform truffle sizes to ensure even coating and professional presentation.
- When melting white chocolate, stir frequently and use low heat to prevent burning.
- Keep your hands slightly damp when rolling truffles to prevent sticky mixture.
- For extra crunch, reserve some whole Lucky Charms marshmallows for topping.
- If the truffle mixture is too soft, refrigerate for 15-20 minutes before forming balls.
- Use a dipping fork or special chocolate dipping tools for the neatest chocolate coating.
- Experiment with different sprinkle colors for seasonal or themed variations.
