How To Make Christmas Present Oreo Truffles

1. Line two rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. You can also use a waxed paper-lined pan or cover a pan in aluminum foil sprayed lightly with spray oil.
2. Place chocolate Oreo cookies in food processor and mix until cookies turn into Oreo crumbs, then set to the side. In the same food processor, blend the red velvet Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and set aside. See notes if you don’t have a food processor.

3. Add half of the cream cheese to the chocolate Oreo crumbs and the other half of the cream cheese to the red velvet Oreo crumbs. Mix each bowl of cookie crumbs with the cream cheese and a clean silicone spatula until smooth.

4. Using a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop dough from the bowl and form into cubes. Place on the prepared baking sheet so the truffles aren’t touching each other and place in the freezer to chill for 30 minutes.

5. Place the red white and green candy melts each in a heatproof bowl, saving about 1/4 of each color of chocolate for the ribbons. Place the bowls in the microwave and heat for a minute at half power, then stir each with it’s own clean and dry spoon. Continue heating the candy melts in thirty-second increments until each forms a smooth chocolate sauce.
6. Make the bows by spooning some of each colored chocolate into the silicone molds, working in batches as needed. Be sure to wipe the edges so each bow come out clean. Refrigerate until the chocolate is set.

7. Remove half the truffles from the freezer. Working in batches, dip each truffle one at a time into the melted candy melts with a fork. Tap the fork to remove any excess chocolate then place on the prepared baking sheet.

8. Immediately top with sanding sugar or sprinkles if desired. Repeat until all the truffles both chocolate and red velvet flavored are covered in chocolate.

9. Place the truffles back in the freezer to chill for 20-30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set.
10. Once the truffles have set, place each of the remaining colors of candy melts into their own microwave-safe piping bags or freezer zip-top bag. Microwave on half power for 30 seconds, then squeeze the chocolate in each bag to make sure the chocolate melts evenly. Repeat in 30 second increments or until all the candy melts are melted.

11. Remove all of the bows from the mold and set to the side. Snip a small piece of the tips off of each bag. Drizzle the chocolate over the present to make each ribbon, then immediately top with a chocolate bow. Repeat for each chocolate present truffle.

12. Serve once the chocolate has set, or chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Enjoy!
