Ingredients for Heart OREO Truffles

• 1 package (36) OREO cookies (regular, not double-stuffed)
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 16 oz chocolate for dipping (white, dark, or milk chocolate)
• Optional: Sprinkles, edible glitter, or red/pink candy melts for decorating

Tools You’ll Need

• Food processor or zip-top bag + rolling pin
• Mixing bowl and spatula
• Heart-shaped silicone mold or cookie cutter
• Baking sheet
• Parchment or wax paper
• Microwave-safe bowl or double boiler

How to Make OREO Truffle Hearts

1. Crush the OREOs: Place the cookies in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. If you don’t have one, place the cookies in a sealed bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
2. Mix with cream cheese: Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and mix with softened cream cheese until fully combined. You’ll get a soft, dough-like mixture.
3. Shape into hearts: Press the mixture firmly into a heart-shaped silicone mold or roll out and use a heart cookie cutter.
4. Freeze: Place the shaped truffles on a lined baking sheet and freeze for 15–30 minutes until firm. This makes dipping easier.
5. Melt the chocolate: Microwave your chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each. Avoid overheating.
6. Dip and decorate: Dip each frozen heart in the melted chocolate, then place on parchment to set. Add sprinkles or drizzle with colored chocolate while still wet.
7. Chill: Let the truffles set fully in the fridge for about 15 minutes.

Tips for Success

• Use full-fat cream cheese for the best texture
• Don’t skip the freezing step—it helps the hearts keep their shape
• Let excess chocolate drip off before setting on parchment to avoid pooling
• Store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 2 months
