Ingredients
For the candy corn truffles
- 1 pack Golden Oreo's about 36 cookies
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- ½ cup candy corn chopped
For the chocolate coating
- 2 cups white chocolate chips sub almond bark if desired
- 24 pieces candy corn for topping
Instructions
To make the candy corn truffles
- Use a food processor to finely crush 36 Golden Oreo's.
- Pour the crushed Oreo's into a medium-large bowl, then add softened cream cheese. Use a fork or your fingers to mix them to together until well-combined.
- Chop candy corn (cut each piece into at least 3 pieces). Add the chopped candy corn to the Oreo/cream cheese mixture and fold them in until well-combined. Use your hands to mix if necessary.
- If the mixture feels too soft to roll into balls, cover the bowl and place it in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up.
- Remove the mixture from the fridge and roll it into 1.5-inch balls. Place the balled truffles on a plate and place them in the freezer to set while you heat the coating chocolate. Allow them to freeze for at least 10-20 minutes.
To coat the truffles
- Line a cookie sheet with wax or parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Melt the white chocolate in the microwave, stirring every 30-45 seconds, or using a double boiler.
- Remove the truffles from the freezer and use a spoon or a candy dipping spoon to fully coat them in chocolate.
- Immediately place a piece of candy corn on top of the truffle.
- Place the coated truffles on to the prepared cookie sheet and put them in the fridge to set for a few minutes.
- Once the chocolate has set, place them in a sealed container. Store them in the fridge.
