Notes
- Mix cookie crumbs and cream cheese completely before adding nonpareils to avoid color bleeding.
- Thin thick candy melts (especially green) with a little coconut or vegetable oil.
- Use a cookie scoop (1"–1.5") for even sizing; smaller scoop = more truffles.
- Work quickly to prevent candy melts from hardening mid-process.
- Try different Oreo flavors—classic chocolate or even mint.
- Add a splash of vanilla for extra flavor.
- Decorate simply or go all out with hearts, candy eyes, grumpy brows, and Santa hats!
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
