Notes
* Chilling the truffles before dipping helps prevent them from falling apart.
* White chocolate, dark chocolate, or colored candy melts all work well for coating.
* Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
* These truffles can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
* For extra cookies-and-cream flavor, mix a few tablespoons of cookie crumbs into the melted chocolate drizzle.
How to Make Cookies & Cream Truffle Bites
Crush the Cookies
Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until they turn into fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, seal the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Mix the Filling
Add the softened cream cheese to the cookie crumbs and mix until a thick, smooth dough forms. Make sure there are no large streaks of cream cheese remaining.
Roll Into Balls
Scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into evenly sized balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate as you work.
Chill the Truffles
Refrigerate the truffle balls for about 30 minutes, or freeze them for 15 minutes, until they are firm enough to dip in chocolate.
Melt the Chocolate
Place the chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in short intervals, stirring frequently, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Coat Each Truffle
Using a fork or dipping tool, lower each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate. Gently tap off the excess coating before returning the truffle to the lined baking sheet.
Add Toppings
Before the chocolate sets, decorate the truffles with crushed cookies, festive sprinkles, chocolate drizzle, or any toppings you like.
Let Them Set
Allow the chocolate coating to harden completely. You can speed up the process by placing the tray in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
Serve or Store
Enjoy the truffles right away or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve. They taste even better after they’ve chilled for a few hours.
