How to make the best Oreo truffles: 
These Oreo Truffles are about as no-fuss as a dessert can be! They’re basically a cheater truffle. To make them all you do is stir together finely crushed Oreo crumbs, cream cheese, and vanilla extract until combined, then use a small cookie scoop to scoop balls of the mixture and freeze until firm, around 30 minutes or so. Once firm, dunk them in melted chocolate (we mix ours with coconut oil), let them harden and…you’re done! What’s the point of adding coconut oil, you may ask? Mixing the oil with the chocolate gives that shiny luster to the chocolate coating. The oil also helps harden the chocolate, making it a firm shell around your Oreo center.
