This recipe uses just a few ingredients. I love making homemade candy. It is the perfect Easter treat.

40 Golden Oreos

8 oz. softened cream cheese at room temperature

12 oz. White Chocolate chips or candy melts

Food Coloring any color (gel coloring for more vibrant colors)

Sprinkles optional, any color

• In a food processor, place Oreos and grind them into fine crumbs. Depending on the size of your food processor, you may need to do this in two batches.

• Add in room-temperature cream cheese once you have all the crushed cookie crumbs. If cream cheese is not at room temperature, you can microwave it for 20-30 seconds. You want to make sure that the cream cheese is not hot to the touch, or your mixture will come out runny.

• Combine the crushed cookies with the cream cheese. When the dough comes together in a ball, stop combining.
• Remove the blade and fold in sprinkles using a spatula.

• Using a cookie scoop, scoop the truffles mixture, and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment or waxed paper.
• Place the dough into the freezer for 10-15 minutes until the dough is slightly hardened and has dried out a bit. TIP: You don’t want the mixture to freeze completely.

• Microwave white chocolate in a mixing bowl for 30 seconds. Stir and put back in the microwave for another 30 seconds. Stir until all the chips are melted and the white chocolate mixture is smooth. You can use a small saucepan or double boiler to melt the chocolate candy coating.
• If you are using food coloring, add it at this time. You may need to add food coloring two or three times to achieve the right coloring.

• Remove the truffles dough from the freezer. Using both hands, roll each piece of dough into balls or Easter eggs.
• Dip into the chocolate mixture and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the chocolate covers the truffle completely during the dipping process.
