- 8 oz dark chocolate, melted
- 8 oz white chocolate, melted
- Pink food coloring (gel-based), optional

Instructions
- Crush Oreos: Add Oreo cookies to a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form, ensuring a smooth base texture.
- Make Dough: Add softened cream cheese to the Oreo crumbs and blend until a smooth, uniform dough forms.
- Shape Truffles: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and shape into balls by hand or press into heart-shaped silicone molds for fun shapes.
- Freeze: Place the shaped truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 20 to 30 minutes until firm to make dipping easier.
- Melt Chocolates: Melt dark and white chocolates in separate bowls using a double boiler or microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Tint White Chocolate: Optionally, add pink gel food coloring to part of the melted white chocolate for a festive look.
- Dip Truffles: Dip each chilled truffle into your choice of chocolate coating, ensuring a smooth, even layer, then place back on parchment paper to set.
- Decorate: Drizzle with contrasting chocolate colors and add sprinkles or other decorations as desired for a beautiful finish.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the coated truffles until the chocolate is completely set, then serve in decorative wrappers or on a platter.
Notes
- Use softened cream cheese to ensure the dough blends smoothly.
- Freeze truffles thoroughly before dipping to prevent melting chocolate.
