Ingredients and Substitutions
Full Ingredient List
- 36 regular Oreo cookies
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 bag (12 ounces) pink candy melts
- ½ cup white candy melts
- 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- Valentine’s sprinkle mix
- Gold sanding sugar
Notes on Ingredient Quality
Using high-quality Oreos and full-fat cream cheese will give the best flavor and texture. Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened for easy mixing. Candy melts are widely available at craft or baking stores, and the Wilton brand is highly recommended.
If using a generic candy melt brand, test the texture before dipping. You want it creamy and smooth, not chalky.
Smart Substitutions
- Oreos: Golden Oreos or any flavored variety (red velvet, strawberry, mint) work well
- Cream Cheese: Vegan cream cheese can be used if you're dairy-free
- Candy Melts: Swap pink for red or white melts. You can also tint white melts with pink gel food coloring
- Sprinkles: Use holiday-themed or customize with your favorite color palette
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep Your Baking Sheet
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper and set aside.
Step 2: Crush the Oreos
Place your Oreos into a zip-top plastic bag. Use a rolling pin to crush them into fine crumbs. Alternatively, pulse them in a food processor until they resemble coarse sand.
Step 3: Mix with Cream Cheese
In a large bowl, combine the crushed Oreos and softened cream cheese. Use a fork or hand mixer to blend the mixture until fully combined and smooth. You should be able to press it together without it crumbling.
Step 4: Form the Truffle Balls
Scoop out small amounts of the mixture, about 1½ tablespoons each. Roll them between your hands to form smooth, compact balls. Place each one on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5: Chill the Truffles
Refrigerate the Oreo balls for 15 to 20 minutes. This helps them firm up and makes dipping easier.
Step 6: Melt the Pink Candy Coating
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the pink candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring between each. After about 3 minutes total, the melts should be fully smooth. Stir in 1 tablespoon of coconut oil for a glossy, pourable texture.
Step 7: Dip the Truffles
Using a toothpick or fork, dip each chilled truffle into the melted pink coating. Let the excess drip off by gently tapping on the edge of the bowl. Place the coated truffle back on the baking sheet.
Step 8: Melt and Drizzle White Chocolate
In a clean bowl, melt the white candy melts in the microwave for about 2 minutes, stirring halfway through. Mix in the remaining teaspoon of coconut oil.
Transfer the white coating to a piping or frosting bag. Snip a small hole in the tip and drizzle over each pink-coated truffle.
Step 9: Decorate Immediately
Before the drizzle dries, add your Valentine’s sprinkle mix and a pinch of gold sanding sugar to each truffle. Work quickly, as the coating sets fast.
Step 10: Set and Serve
Let the truffles sit at room temperature for 10 minutes or until the chocolate hardens. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for later.
Expert Tips and Tricks
How to Get the Best Texture
