How to Make Snickerdoodle Truffles

1. Prepare the Baking Sheet
   Line a sheet pan or rimmed tray with parchment paper and set it aside. This will prevent the truffles from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
2. Crush the Golden Oreos
   Use a food processor to crush the cookies into fine crumbs. You may need to do this in two batches, depending on your processor’s size. If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a sealed bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
3. Combine Ingredients
   In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cookie crumbs, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, blend until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
4. Roll into Balls
   Scoop out about 1-inch portions and roll them into balls with your hands. Place each ball on the lined sheet pan.
5. Chill the Truffles
   Place the truffle balls in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up.
6. Prepare the White Chocolate Coating
   When ready to dip, melt the white almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth.
7. Dip and Decorate
   Using a candy dipping tool or fork, dip each chilled truffle ball into the melted white chocolate. Let the excess drip off, then place the truffle back onto the parchment-lined pan. If using sprinkles, add them before the chocolate sets.
8. Chill Again
   Allow the coated truffles to chill in the refrigerator for at least another hour to fully set.

Tips for the Perfect Snickerdoodle Truffles

• Crush the Cookies Finely: A fine crumb ensures that the truffles have a smooth texture and hold together well
• Sticky Truffles? If your truffle mixture is too sticky, chill it for 15-30 minutes before rolling
• Extra Cinnamon Flavor: You can add a little more cinnamon if you prefer a stronger spice flavor
• Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, or freeze for up to two months. Separate layers with wax paper to prevent sticking

What to Serve with Snickerdoodle Truffles

These truffles are perfect on their own, but if you’re serving them at a party, they pair well with:

• Hot chocolate or coffee for a cozy treat
• Other holiday desserts like Saltine Cracker Candy (Christmas Crack), Peppermint Bark, or Nut Brittle for a festive dessert table

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use regular Oreos instead of Golden Oreos?
A: While you could, the classic chocolate Oreos will change the flavor profile, making them taste more like chocolate truffles. Golden Oreos keep the vanilla-cinnamon flavor closer to a true snickerdoodle.

Q: How far in advance can I make these?
A: These truffles can be made up to two weeks in advance if stored in an airtight container in the fridge, making them an ideal make-ahead treat.

Q: Can I use dark chocolate instead of white chocolate?
A: Absolutely! Dark chocolate will add a different flavor contrast, creating a richer, slightly less sweet treat.
