Description
Irresistible no-bake holiday candy that brings festive cheer with vibrant green coating and red accents, perfect for themed dessert tables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 36 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
- 8 oz (225 g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 12–16 oz (340–450 g) white chocolate or candy melts, divided
- 2–3 tsp green gel food coloring
- Red piping gel or small red candies for decoration
- Pinch of fine salt (optional)
- 1–2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Pulse cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs. Remove large bits if necessary.
- In a bowl, combine cookie crumbs and cream cheese. Mix until fully incorporated and holds together when pressed. Add salt/vanilla if desired.
- Scoop uniform portions with a cookie scoop and roll into tight balls. Place on lined baking sheet. Chill 30–60 minutes until firm.
- Melt 2/3 of the white chocolate in a microwave or double boiler. Add green gel color to achieve desired shade of green.
- Dip chilled truffles into green coating, tapping off excess. Place back on parchment. If needed, chill briefly between coats.
- Add red piping gel accents or attach small red candies before coating sets.
- Chill until fully set, then serve or store.
Notes
For a cleaner finish, chill truffles before applying a second coat of chocolate. If chocolate thickens, gently reheat it.
