Ingredients
  

For the truffles
  • 1 package (14.3 oz) chocolate sandwich cookies such as Oreo; about 36 cookies
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese softened
For the coating
  • 1 package (16 oz) blue candy melts
  • 0.25 cup Christmas sprinkles

Equipment

  • 1 18x13-inch baking sheet
  • 1 food processor
  • 1 microwave

Method
 

Make the truffles
  1. Line an 18x13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Process the cookies into fine crumbs.
  3. Add the cream cheese and pulse until the mixture comes together.
  4. Roll the mixture into 36 balls, about 1 inch each, and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, until firm.
Coat the truffles
  1. Melt the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring after each burst, until smooth.
  2. Dip each chilled truffle in the melted candy, letting excess coating drip back into the bowl, then return it to the baking sheet.
  3. Add sprinkles while the coating is still wet.
  4. Refrigerate the truffles for 15 minutes, until the coating is set.

Notes

For a smooth coating, dip the truffles while they are chilled and add the sprinkles before the coating sets. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; they can be frozen. For a dairy-free option, use dairy-free cookies, cream cheese, and candy melts, checking package labels.
