A festive, no-bake treat featuring rich chocolate and creamy centers, perfect for holiday gatherings or edible gifts.

This recipe has become a holiday favorite in my family; everyone loves how simple and delicious the truffles are.

Ingredients

Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a ziplock bag and crushing with a rolling pin.

Scoop out small amounts (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll into balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
