Candy Cane Oreo Truffles

Prep time: 25 mins
Total time: 25 mins

Serves: 30-34

Ingredients:

36 Oreos

8 oz cream cheese, softened

16 oz. white chocolate chips

¼ cup crushed candy canes or peppermint candies, for decorating

Instructions

Place the Oreo cookies in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely ground.
Add the cream cheese and pulse until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scoop the mixture into balls about 1-inch in diameter. I like to use a cookie scoop.
Place the cookie balls in the freezer until well chilled, at least 1 hour.
Remove truffles from freezer and dip in melted chocolate.
Return to baking sheet, immediately sprinkle tops with crushed candy canes then allow chocolate to set.

Store the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Start a new tradition with your children.

Creating a new tradition with your kids can make your Christmas all the more special. Here's a couple of ideas to try:


Allow your child to pick their very own personalized Christmas ornament.


Go to OrnamentsforKeeps.com and allow your child to pick their very own personalized Christmas ornament. Whether your child is a sports fan, into music, or just a HUGE fan of Santa, they can have an enjoyable experience picking out their very own personalized Christmas ornament with you.


Start the 25 books tradition.


Choose 25 books to wrap up and place under the tree. Then, starting 25 days before Christmas, let your child pick a new book from under the tree to unwrap and read with you or you can read to them.
