  • Use quality white chocolate or candy melts for best results.
  • Decorate immediately while the chocolate is still wet.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Can be made several days in advance.
  • Freeze for up to 2 months for longer storage.
  • Allow frozen Oreo balls to thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Golden Oreos can be substituted for a vanilla variation.
  • Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized truffles.
