This recipe is my go-to for holiday parties because it is quick and loved by all ages.

Truffle Base: 36 Oreo cookies (about 300 g), 225 g (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
Coating & Decoration: 300 g (10 oz) white chocolate or candy melts, 50 g (1.75 oz) dark chocolate (optional, for drizzling), Christmas-themed sprinkles or crushed candy canes

Step 1:: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2:: Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a ziplock bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
Step 3:: In a large bowl, mix the Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese until fully combined and smooth.
Step 4:: Scoop out small amounts (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll into balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5:: Freeze the balls for 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 6:: Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth.
Step 7:: Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Use a fork to lift out and let excess drip off. Place back on the baking sheet.
Step 8:: If desired, drizzle with melted dark chocolate and decorate immediately with festive sprinkles or crushed candy canes.
Step 9:: Chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes, or until set.
