Notes

Optional Toppings for Oreo Balls

I like to coat my Oreo Balls in two different kinds of chocolate - I coat half of them in white chocolate and the other half in regular chocolate.
Drizzle the balls with the opposite chocolate - so, for the white ones I drizzle them with regular chocolate and the chocolate ones with white chocolate!
You can also top your Oreo Balls with more crushed Oreos.
Or, sprinkle the tops with finely chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts.
You can also decorate the balls with colored sprinkles!
For a peppermint twist, top the balls with crushed peppermint candies.

How to dip Oreo Balls

You can just drop the Oreo ball in the melted chocolate and, using a spoon or fork, roll it around in the chocolate and then lift it out but this can get a little messy and your truffles may not be as pretty! So here is another way to do it so you get evenly coated Oreo balls:

Insert a toothpick into each ball.
Use the toothpick to dip the ball in the melted chocolate and roll it around to completely coat it.
Lift the ball out and allow the excess chocolate to drip off before placing the ball on the baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the balls.
Once the balls are chilled, remove the toothpicks and drizzle each ball with chocolate and chill them again to set the chocolate.
