Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 14.3 oz chocolate sandwich cookies 1 package (405g), do not remove the cream filling.
  • 8 oz cream cheese 1 block (226g), softened to room temperature.
  • 12 oz vibrant green candy melts 340g, for the smooth glossy candy coating.
  • 1 tbsp refined coconut oil 15ml, used to thin the candy melts for dipping.
  • 2 oz red heart sprinkles 56g small container, for decoration.

Equipment

  • 1 Food Processor Used for finely crushing the sandwich cookies.
  • 1 Microwave-safe bowl Used to melt the green candy coating smoothly.

Method
 

Making the Truffles
  1. Place the entire package of chocolate sandwich cookies into a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Reserve 1 tablespoon of crumbs for garnish.
  2. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl. Add the softened cream cheese and mix until no white streaks remain and a dense, speckled dough forms.
  3. Scoop 1 tablespoon portions of dough, roll them into smooth balls, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for exactly 15 minutes.
  4. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the green candy melts and coconut oil. Microwave at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  5. Dip each chilled truffle into the green coating, tapping off excess. Place back on the parchment paper and immediately top with a single red heart sprinkle slightly off-center.

Notes

Make sure your cream cheese is completely softened to room temperature for the best fudgy texture.
Do not chill the truffles for more than 15 minutes in the freezer, or the hot candy coating may crack as it sets.
