As Christmas approaches sweet treats are being made to bring to family functions, a great example would be the trending TikTok recipe for three ingredient Oreo Truffles.
Prep time: 5 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes
Servings: 33 Oreo truffles
The ingredients include:
38 Oreo cookies
1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese -softened
1 C white chocolate melting wafers or candy coating
For decorating: melted chocolate, Oreo crumbs, sprinkles, crushed peppermint, or chopped nuts
Instructions are as follows:
Place Oreo cookies in a food processor or plastic bag and crush the cookies until they are fine crumbs.
Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the cream cheese until it is smooth, about 1 minute. Add the Oreo cookie crumbs and mix until well combined. If you do not have a mixer you can use a fork and combine by hand.
Roll the Oreo mixture into small balls and place on a baking sheet or tray that has been lined with parchment paper or wax paper. Freeze the Oreo balls for 15 minutes.
Place the chocolate wafers (or candy coating) in a small microwave safe bowl. Place the white chocolate wafers (or candy coating) in a separate small microwave safe bowl. Melt according to instructions on packaging.
Remove the balls from the freezer and dip the balls into the melted chocolate. Make sure you cover the balls completely in chocolate. Use a fork to shake the excess chocolate off of the Oreo balls. Dip half of the balls in the chocolate and half in the white chocolate. Place the dipped balls back on the baking tray with parchment paper or wax paper. Decorate with a drizzle of chocolate, additional crushed Oreos, sprinkles, crushed peppermint or crushed nuts, if desired.
Place the baking sheet with the Oreo balls in the refrigerator and chill for at least an hour. Keep stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The Oreo balls will keep in the fridge for up to 3 weeks. You can also freeze the balls for up to 2 months.

I stumbled across this recipe while scrolling on TikTok so I decided to try it myself. This recipe was very easy to make considering it consists of only three ingredients and it really took just minutes to make. The truffles were very rich and soft, but the toppings and chocolate that hardened on top gave the bite sized snack a bit of crunch. This sweet dessert was gone within minutes because everyone loved it, 10/10 would make again!
