To embrace the Valentine’s Day spirit, I coat the truffles in a vibrant pink candy melt shell, then drizzle them with white chocolate or a different color candy melt and top it all off with some adorable sprinkles.
If you prefer to use regular white chocolate instead of candy melts, you absolutely can! Just be use to use an oil-based food coloring or one specifically designed for chocolate to prevent it from seizing. No one wants to deal with a clumpy chocolate mess. These truffles deserve that flawless finish!

How to make Pink Oreo truffles
This is how you can make this easy treat. Make sure to scroll down to the recipe card for the full detailed instructions!
- Pulse the oreos in a food processor until crumbly. You will want to crush cookies and fillings as well.
- Add in the cream cheese and mix again until fully combined.
- Roll 30 equally-sized 1-inch balls (I like using this small cookie scoop), place them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet, and freeze for 30-60 minutes or until the balls are solid. This will help keep the truffles intact as you dip them in chocolate.
- Melt the pink candy melts in a medium microwave-safe bowl in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring each time.
- Dip the Oreo balls in the melted candy melts and roll it around to coat with a fork or a chocolate dipping tool then pull it out.
- Gently shake off the excess candy coating and place the golden Oreo truffles back on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with some crushed-up Oreos, or sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet, or drizzle chocolate on top and chill in the fridge for at least 10 minutes to set again.
- Keep these truffles refrigerated at all times, but you can keep them fresh in the fridge for up to 6 days.

WHAT ARE SOME WAYS TO DECORATE THESE COOKIE TRUFFLES?
Here are some fun ideas:
- Crushed Oreos: Sprinkle a little on top for a contrast of color and texture.
- Drizzle chocolate: Use white chocolate or additional candy melts to get creative with the decoration of these truffles. This is a great time to have your little ones help you with the decoration.
- Festive sprinkles: Match the decorations to the occasion with your favs!
What if I don’t want to use Candy melts?
No problem! If you’re aiming for that stunning pink finish, you can melt white chocolate and color it with oil-based food coloring (or chocolate-specific coloring) to avoid any issues with seizing.
If the pink coating isn’t a must, you can use melted milk or dark chocolate instead. For a smoother coating, mix the chocolate with a small amount of coconut oil or vegetable shortening before melting in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each round until smooth.
Once coated, top the truffles with your favorite festive pink sprinkles and let them set completely. After that, store them in an airtight container, and you’re all set to impress!
