Truffles
- 1 package of Oreos
- 4oz of cream cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
Truffle Decorating
- 12oz of semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 Tbsp of coconut oil
- 40 candy eyeballs
- 20 red M&M's
- 60 Sunnyland Junior Pecan Halves
Directions:
- Use a food processor to crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Depending on size of food processor, crushing the package of Oreos will take multiple rounds of cookies.
- Transfer to a medium bowl.
- Add softened cream cheese, cinnamon, and salt
- Mix well with utensil or hands until all ingredients are well-combined
- Scoop 1 1/2 Tbsp balls, should make between 18 and 20.
- Place balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and into the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Once truffle balls are firm, melt chocolate chips in small mixing bowl with 1 Tbsp of coconut oil.
- Dip truffles into melted chocolate one at a time, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. If truffles are falling apart, place back in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Before chocolate hardens on the truffles; place two candy eyeballs, one red M&M as the beak, and three pecan halves as feathers.
- If chocolate hardens on truffles quickly, dip each decoration into melted chocolate to act as a glue when placing on the truffle.
- Once decorated, place truffles back in the refrigerator to allow truffles and decorations to fully set. We reccommend 20 minutes at the minimum.
Keep truffles refrigerated, they will last for 1 week in a refrigerated sealed container.
