Preparation Steps
Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. A food processor works best for this.
In a medium bowl, combine the finely crushed Oreos with the softened cream cheese. Mix until well combined and a dough-like consistency forms.
Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
While the balls are freezing, melt the chocolate chips. You can do this in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, or use a double boiler. Stir in the vegetable oil if using, for a smoother texture.
Dip each frozen truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Use a fork to lift the truffle and allow excess chocolate to drip off.
Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. You can add sprinkles or drizzle with contrasting chocolate before the coating sets, if desired.
Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
