Ingredients List
- Sprinkles (optional): Toss on some colorful sprinkles fast, so they stick before everything sets.
- 16 ounces vanilla almond bark: Melt this for a yummy shell around your bites.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Splash in some vanilla to boost all those creamy notes.
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon: Shakes up that cozy, spicy flavor you expect from snickerdoodle sweets.
- 36 golden Oreo cookies (14.3-ounce package): Crush these up for buttery, sugary goodness inside every truffle.
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened: Your main mixer for getting those cookies to stick together just right.
Steps to Make It
- Step 7:
- Pop the finished truffles in the fridge for an hour or so and let them get nice and firm before you serve. If you like sprinkles, toss them on while the coating's still wet so they stick.
- Step 6:
- Grab a fork or your favorite candy tool and dunk each truffle into the melted coating. Let the extra drip off, then put them back onto your pan.
- Step 5:
- Melt the vanilla almond bark in a bowl in your microwave, hitting it for 30 seconds at a time and stirring each round. Stop when it's perfectly smooth.
- Step 4:
- Roll up your dough into balls, about the size of a ping pong ball, and spread them out on that lined tray. Chill them in your fridge for at least an hour so they hold together.
- Step 3:
- Stir your softened cream cheese, cookie crumbs, cinnamon, and vanilla together in a big bowl. Use an electric mixer if you've got one to make everything really creamy and well-mixed.
- Step 2:
- Break up your golden Oreos in a food processor, working in shifts if you need more space, until they’re as fine as sand.
- Step 1:
- Grab a baking tray and cover it with parchment paper—trust me, this makes clean-up a breeze.
Storing and Serving Suggestions
- These treats taste best straight from the fridge, but you can let them hang out at room temp if that's more your style.
- Got extras? Keep 'em sealed in the fridge—good for a week.
- Handing them out? Drop them in a cute bag or a box, and you've got a simple gift everyone will love.
Extra Notes
- No vanilla almond bark? White chocolate chips will work in a pinch for the coating.
- Chill the balls before dipping, so they stay perfect when you coat them.
- Want that cinnamon to shine? Go for 3 teaspoons instead of 2.
