INGREDIENTS
  • 1 15.25 ounce package Candy Cane OREO cookies
  • 1 8 ounce package cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 12 ounce package dark chocolate Ghirardelli melting wafers
  • 3 tablespoons paramount crystals (optional)

PREPARATION
  1. Gently crush OREO cookies and place in the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment.
  2. Add cream cheese and mix on medium-low speed until fully incorporated and smooth.
  3. Using a one-inch cookie scoop, scoop OREO mixture from bowl, leveling off so that a half dome is released onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate domes for thirty minutes.

  5. Cover each dome in chocolate and return to parchment paper to set.

  7. Allow truffles to set completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
