Oreo Truffle Pops {No Bake} & a Hamilton Beach Giveaway

It's holiday baking time!
Time to turn up the Christmas tunes, put on a cute apron and whip up some sweets!


Up first on my Christmas treat list - Oreo Truffle Pops.
Oreo Truffle Pops are like cake pops, but much easier.
I've been making Oreo Truffles for years - everyone loves them.
You can use any flavor of Oreo's that you like.

I prefer Golden Oreo's, but I think Birthday Cake Oreo's would be fun too!

Hamilton Beach sent me their new Stack & Snap Food Processor to try.
It arrived just in time to help me whip up my Oreo Truffles Pops.
Thank you Hamilton Beach!

I am in love with this food processor!
The 10-cup sealed bowl is large enough to fit the entire package of cookies,
which eliminates the need to make multiple batches!  I can't wait to use it
when making salsa and hummus.

In a matter of seconds the cookies are pulverized into consistent cookie crumbs.
Perfect for Oreo truffles!

The processor has a Big Mouth® feed tube that saves you time by reducing the need for pre-cutting. In-bowl blade storage, cord storage and dishwasher-safe parts make for easy cleaning and storage.
The bowl fits directly on the base with no twisting - just snap it into place.
The blades, bowl and lid are dishwasher safe, making clean up a breeze!

To make Oreo truffles you just combine the Oreo cookie crumbs with 6 oz. of cream cheese and form into balls.
I use a cookie scoop for uniform size truffles.
Place them on a parchment lined baking sheet and pop them into the freezer for
10-15 minutes.

After dipping them in Candy Melts (directions below) you have adorable Oreo
Truffle Pops to serve on your holiday party buffet.
Super cute don't you think!

Over the past year I have had the opportunity to try several Hamilton Beach
appliances and I have been so impressed with their performance and quality.
I am definitely a big fan!
I'd like to offer one of you the chance to win your own Hamilton Beach Stack &
Snap Food Processor.  Merry Christmas!
*See contest entry instructions below.


Oreo Truffle Pops

1 package of Oreo cookies (I used Golden Oreo)
6 oz. cream cheese
Wilton Candy Melts
Sprinkles or colored sugar
Wilton lollipop sticks or paper straws
cupcake liners, optional

Place Oreo's into the bowl of a food processor to crumble cookies.
In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine cookie crumbs and cream cheese.
Using a cookie scoop, scoop dough and form into uniform size balls; placing
on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.  Put the truffles into the freezer for 10-15 minutes
or the refrigerator for 30 minutes for the truffles to firm.

Place Candy Melts in a glass bowl and microwave per package instructions.
Watch them carefully as they can burn quickly.
You may need to add a little Crisco to thin the icing for dipping.

To make the Oreo Truffle Pops dip one end a lollipop stick into the melted chocolate and
stick it into the center of each Oreo Truffle.  Holding the pop straight up and down,
submerge it into the candy melts.  Lightly tap the stick against the bowl to remove
the excess chocolate.
Place the truffle pop onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or styrofoam to harden.
If you are decorating with sprinkles, be sure to use them before the icing begins to harden.
When serving place the Oreo truffle pops onto cupcake liners for extra cuteness :)

Makes 20-25 Oreo Truffle Pops.
