Can I use regular Oreos instead of Golden Oreos?

Absolutely! Regular Oreos will give you a cookies-and-cream look with the dark crumbs visible through the pastel coating. The flavor will be chocolate rather than vanilla, but equally delicious. You could even try other Oreo flavors like birthday cake or lemon for different taste variations.

Why did my white chocolate seize when I added food coloring?

This typically happens when using water-based food coloring with chocolate. Always use oil-based or specially formulated candy coloring for chocolate work. If your chocolate does seize, you can sometimes rescue it by immediately stirring in 1-2 teaspoons of vegetable oil or coconut oil to smooth it out again.

Can I make these truffles without a food processor?

Yes! While a food processor creates the smoothest texture, you can place the Oreos in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin until very fine. Then mix with the softened cream cheese using a hand mixer or strong spoon and plenty of elbow grease until well combined.

How far in advance can I make these for a party?

These truffles can be made up to five days ahead and stored in the refrigerator, or up to two months ahead if frozen. This makes them perfect for holiday preparation when you have multiple dishes to coordinate!

Instructions

Make Oreo Crumbs: In the bowl of a large food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies until fine, even crumbs are formed.
Blend with Cream Cheese: Add softened cream cheese to the Oreo crumbs and blend until completely smooth, with no lumps remaining. Remove the bowl, cover, and refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes until the mixture firms up.
Shape the Truffles: Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a small cookie scoop or a spoon to portion the chilled mixture, about 1.5 tablespoons each. Roll each portion into a ball between your palms and place onto the baking sheet. Cover the tray and freeze for 15 minutes to set.
Melt Candy Coating: While truffles chill, melt the white chocolate chips or candy coating according to the package instructions.
Tint the Coating (Optional): If desired, divide the melted coating into 4 bowls and color each with pastel oil-based food colorings. Mix well until smooth and free of streaks.
Coat the Truffles: Working quickly, dip each chilled truffle ball into the melted candy coating, using a fork to lift them out, letting excess coating drip off. Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined tray.
Decorate: Drizzle extra colored coating over each truffle and add sprinkles on top, if desired. Allow truffles to set and harden completely.
Serve or Store: Once set, serve the truffles or store them in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

Use room-temperature cream cheese for ultra smooth blending.
Use only oil-based food coloring to prevent seizing of the chocolate.
If the coating seizes, add a teaspoon of coconut or vegetable oil to recover texture.
For neat decorating, use a piping bag to drizzle colored chocolate.
Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
