INSTRUCTIONS :
Begin by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper and setting it aside.
Next, utilize a food processor (or alternatively, a large freezer bag and a rolling pin) to finely crush the Oreos into an even crumb.
In a sizable mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and Oreo crumbs. Utilize an electric mixer on a low setting to thoroughly blend the ingredients.
Add the sprinkles to the mixture and stir with a spatula to ensure even distribution. Be cautious not to overmix, as this may cause the colors to bleed.
Using a cookie scoop of approximately 1.5 tablespoons, portion out the mixture into balls. Roll the balls between your palms to achieve a smooth texture, then place them on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process until all of the mixture has been used.
Transfer the tray with the truffles to the freezer and allow them to chill for approximately 30 minutes.
Once chilled, place the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and heat them in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until they are melted and smooth.
Dip each ball into the green coating, allowing any excess to drip off, before returning them to the parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Drizzle additional chocolate over the top of each truffle and finish by adding a heart-shaped sprinkle.
Allow the truffles to set, and then indulge in their deliciousness!
