Truffle Mixture
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 36 Golden OREO Cookies, finely crushed (about 3 cups)
- 3 tablespoons molasses
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Coating & Decoration
- 16 ounces white chocolate or white candy coating, melted
- Decorative sprinkles, optional
- Mix: Beat the softened cream cheese and finely crushed Golden OREO Cookies together until well blended. Add the molasses, ground ginger, and ground cinnamon, then mix again until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Shape: Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, shape the mixture into 48 balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a tray and freeze for 10 minutes to firm up.
- Dip: Melt the white chocolate or candy coating according to package instructions. Dip each chilled ball into the melted white chocolate, fully coating it, then immediately top with decorative sprinkles if desired. Lay the dipped truffles in a single layer on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate: Place the tray of coated truffles into the refrigerator and chill for 1 hour or until the coating is firm. Once set, the truffles are ready to serve or store.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
- Freezing the shaped balls before dipping helps them retain their shape during coating.
- You can substitute dark or milk chocolate for the coating if preferred.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- These truffles can also be frozen for longer storage—just thaw before serving.
