Ingredients
16Oreo cookiesground into fine crumbs
4oz(1/2 package) cream cheesesoftened
18maraschino cherries with stemsdrained and patted dry
1package chocolate Candiquik or candy coating
Assorted sprinklesand/or white chocolate for drizzling and decorating
Instructions
In a medium bowl, or the bowl of your food processor, add the Oreo crumbs and the cream cheese. Stir or pulse the mixture until moistened and combined.
Grab a Tablespoonful of the Oreo truffle mixture and roll it gently around the maraschino cherry, leaving the stem exposed. I gently roll it in my palm to get the truffle to adhere to the cherry. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet and repeat with remaining truffles. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
Melt the chocolate candy coating according to package directions or until smooth. Dip the cherry truffles into the chocolate mixture, using a spoon or fork to coat the truffle completely with chocolate. Allow chocolate excess to drip off, then either dredge in sprinkles of your choice or place back on the baking sheet and drizzle with melted white chocolate candy coating. Allow chocolate candy coating to set before serving.
