Ingredients

  • 40 Oreo cookies crushed
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 24 oz white chocolate
  • 1 candy cane

Instructions

  • Place candy cane into large ziplock bag. Seal the bag and pulverize the candy cane with a mallet.*
  • Line a cookie sheet with wax paper or parchment paper. Cut licorice into forty 1-inch pieces. Set aside.
  • Crush the cookies into crumbs in either a food processor/blender or a large ziplock bag.
  • In a medium bowl, combine oreo crumbs with cream cheese into a paste.
  • Scoop out 1-inch balls, roll in your palms and place on cookie sheet. Freeze 30-60 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the chocolate in a microwaveable bowl. Microwave at 50% power in 30 second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
  • Using two forks, gently immerse the ball in white chocolate and roll to coat to coat, and then place on prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle pulverized candy cane on top.
  • Repeat the previous steps for the remaining oreo balls. Place baking sheet in the fridge to chill for at least 15 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

*If you don't have a kitchen mallet or hammer, you can try using the bottom of a small saucepan instead.
Keep truffles chilled until serving.
