Ingredients

15 ounce golden Oreo sandwich cookies
8 ounce full fat cream cheese softened, cut into chunks
food coloring optional
16 ounce melting chocolate candy melts or almond bark
7 ounce bag shredded coconut

Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
In a food processor add in Oreos, combine until the Oreos are in crumbs.
Add in the cream cheese chunks. Pulse until it starts forming a ball and is well mixed.
Split the dough into thirds or fourths. Add a couple drops of the chosen color to each ball of dough until you get the color you desire. I used red and blue to make purple. Added drops of blue with a couple drops of green to make the blue. And just red to make a pink color. I then gently mixed them together to make a marbled effect. I also kept part of the dough its actual color and didn't add any color.
Chill the dough for 30-45 minutes in the refrigerator in individual bowls.
Form dough into 1 tablespoon sized balls, rolling between your hands. Place the truffle balls onto the prepared baking sheet.
Tear off small pieces of the dough and put them into a bigger bowl, varying the colors. Smush all of it into one big ball and twist the dough to make a marbled effect.
Use a tablespoon sized dough scoop to scoop the dough, rolling between your hands. Place the truffle balls onto the prepared baking sheet. Chill the Oreo balls for 30-60 minutes in the freezer or until they are firm.
Pour the coconut flakes into a shallow bowl, set aside.
Melt the almond bark according to the package instructions. My instructions said to heat for 15 seconds at a time, stirring in between each heating cycle.
Place a truffle on a fork and use a spoon to scoop the melted chocolate over the truffle to make sure it's completely covered. Tap off any excess chocolate.
Immediately sprinkle on coconut flakes and place back on cookie sheet. Repeat until you are through all the Oreo balls.
Chill according to the package directions on the melting chocolate (mine said 2-5 minutes).

Notes

Decorate quickly. After dipping a truffle into the melted chocolate immediately coat it with the coconut before the chocolate hardens or else it won't stick.
White chocolate. Make sure not to add any water or food dye to the actual white chocolate because it will cause it to seize. You can add one teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening to candy melts if you are using them to make the mixture creamy.
Cream cheese. Only use full fat block style cream cheese. Any of the low fat or whipped varieties may not set up correctly. Make sure that it is at room temperature before using.
Use a fork. I like to use a fork when dipping the truffles into the white chocolate, it's super helpful.
Keep in fridge. Store these in the refrigerator since they are made with cream cheese.
