Ingredients

36 Oreo cookies
8- ounce cream cheese softened to room temperature
16 ounces candy melts Ghiradelli melting wafers, or semi-sweet chocolate (if using chips, see note)

Instructions

Prep pan. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
Make Oreo mixture. Place cookies in the food processor (or you can do this in a blender, or stand mixer, or in a ziploc bag and crush with a rolling pin) and pulse into fine crumbs. Add cream cheese and pulse until smooth. If doing this by hand, I transfer the crumbs to a mixing bowl and then use a hand mixer to mix in the cream cheese.
Scoop into balls. Using a 1-inch cookie scoop, scoop cookie mixture and roll into balls using your hands. Place onto the baking sheet. Freeze for 15 minutes.
Make chocolate coating. In a small bowl, microwave chocolate for 30 seconds.. Stir and microwave again for another 30 seconds. Repeat in 15-second intervals, stirring after each addition, until fully melted. You could also melt the chocolate in a double boiler.
Dip Oreo balls. Remove Oreo cookie balls from the freezer. Using a fork, lower dip a truffle, into the chocolate coating. Shake excess from the truffle and place onto the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining truffles. Refrigerate until firm.

Notes

Storage: Oreo balls will keep in the fridge for up to 3 weeks, in an airtight container. Or at room temperature, covered, as long as it's not too warm, for up to 3 days.
Freezing: Yes you can freeze Oreo balls for up to 3 months. I then let them thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
Oreos - I recommend using regular Oreos and NOT double stuff as it's too much filling.
Cream Cheese - I recommend full-fat cream cheese for the best texture.
Chocolate -For the best and easiest results I recommend using Ghiradelli melting wafers or candy melts which are easier for dipping and create a shiny finish. You can use chocolate chips but I recommend stirring 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening to help keep the chocolate smooth and shiny.
Troubleshooting: If they are sticky while you are shaping them, try coating your hands with a little powdered sugar. Or popping the mixture into your fridge for 15 minutes before shaping.
