Ingredients

6 oz cream cheese
36 Oreos
10 oz chocolate candy melts
5 oz white candy melts for decorating

Instructions

Start off by placing 36 Oreos (including the filling) into a food processor. Place the lid on, then pulse a few times at high speed or until the Oreos are crushed up to a very fine crumb.
Then add 6 ounces of softened cream cheese into the food processor. Mix on high speed again, until the cream cheese and Oreos are well combined. It should resemble a chocolate cookie dough texture once it's well mixed.
Remove the blade from the food processor and transfer the oil truffle mixture into a bowl. Now use a medium-sized cookie scoop or a cake baller to scoop out even amounts of Oreo mixture. Then please it into your hand and roll it out to a ball.
Then transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once all of the Oreo truffles are shaped, transfer them to the freezer and freeze them for 15 minutes.
In the meantime please 10 ounces of chocolate candy melts into a microwave-safe bowl and melt the chocolate in 20-second intervals with mixing in between.
After the chocolate candy coating is thoroughly melted, begin covering the Oreo truffles in the candy coating.
I find that the best way to do this is by placing a small amount of melted candy melts onto the thickest part of a butter knife, then placing one Oreo truffle on top of the blob of chocolate (to help hold it in place). Then use a small spoon to scoop melted chocolate over the truffle. Once the truffle is fully coated in chocolate, slide it onto a wax paper-lined baking sheet using another butter knife. Continue doing this with all of the Oreo truffles.
Once the Oreo truffles are set, melt 5 ounces of white candy melts into a bowl and then pour into a disposable pastry bag and snip off a small part of the end. Then drizzle the melted white candy melts over the Oreo truffles. Let them set for about 20 minutes before serving.

Notes

If you don’t' have a food processor, you can crush up the Oreos by placing them in a gallon-sized ziplock bag and beating them with a rolling pin. Then whip the cream cheese in a bowl with an electric hand mixer and then mix in the crushed Oreos.
If your candy melts are too thick, you can thin them out with 1-2 teaspoons of coconut oil.
Make these in advance up until the final step of decorating. Then keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 weeks or freeze for up to 2 months.
