Ingredients

24 Oreos, crushed (about 2½ cups)
8 ounce block cream cheese
⅓ cup hot chocolate mix
2 cups milk chocolate melting chips

Instructions

Combine the crushed Oreos and cream cheese together in a large mixing bowl. Use an electric hand mixer to mix the ingredients together until well blended.
Add the hot chocolate mix and use the electric hand mixer to incorporate the powder. Your mixture should be dark and smooth.
Use your hands to divide the mixture into 15 evenly shaped balls. Place the cookie balls on a baking sheet and chill them in the freezer for 30 minutes.
After you have chilled the cookie balls, melt the chocolate in the microwave. Start with 30 seconds and continue in 20 second intervals until the chocolate is fully melted. Be sure to stir the chocolate after each interval.
Use a fork to dip each cookie ball in the melted chocolate and then return them to the tray. Sprinkle your truffles with a pinch of hot chocolate mix and return them to the freezer for an additional 30 minutes.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

You will want to keep these truffles stored in the freezer to keep the chocolate shell nice and set. To store them after they have set, transfer them to an airtight container. If you need to stack the truffles, separate each layer with a piece of wax or parchment paper. You can store these truffles for up to 2 months in the freezer.

The chocolate shell will soften the longer these truffles sit in the counter. As a result, I recommend letting these truffles sit on the counter for no longer than 40 minutes before returning them to the freezer.
