Ingredients

1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies (NOT thins or double-stuffed)
1 bar (8 oz) cream cheese room temperature
12 ounces vanilla almond bark
12 ounces chocolate almond bark

Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Add the Oreo cookies into a food processor and process on high speed until very fine crumbs. Do not remove the cream center from the Oreo cookies.
^{*If you don't have a food processor, add the cookies into a ziplock bag and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to finely crush the cookies into ground crumbs.}
1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies
Add the crushed Oreos into a large mixing bowl along with the cream cheese. Use an electric hand mixer and beat until well combined and it forms into a dough.
^{*If your food processor is large enough, you can just add the cream cheese into the food processor with the cookie crumbs and process until combined.}
1 bar (8 oz) cream cheese
Take 1 tablespoon of the cookie truffle dough and roll it into a ball. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet.
Put the Oreo truffles inside the freezer for 20 minutes so they can firm up for dipping.
Melt the almond barks, in two separate bowls, according to the package directions.
12 ounces vanilla almond bark, 12 ounces chocolate almond bark
Dip half of the Oreo truffles into the melted white almond bark, and the other half of the truffles in the melted chocolate almond bark. Tap the excess chocolate off before placing the dipped truffles back onto the baking sheet.
^{*The easiest way to dip the truffles is by using a plastic fork with the two center prong removed (just bend them and they break pretty easily).}
^{*You can use a toothpick to help nudge the truffle off of the fork onto the baking sheet.}
Add the leftover almond barks into two seperate Ziploc bags and snip the bottom corner off of the bag. Drizzle the melted white almond bark over top the chocolate dipped Oreo truffles, and drizzle the melted chocolate almond bark over top the white dipped Oreo truffles.
Place the truffles inside the fridge to set for 30 minutes, or allow them to set at room temperature for about 1 hour before eating and serving.

Notes

Tips : Make sure the cream cheese is well softened so it blends in smoothly and easily with the Oreo cookie crumbs. If the Oreo mixture is too sticky to roll into balls, place it inside the fridge for 25-30 minutes.

Almond Bark : I recommend using this because it's fail-proof when melting and it melts really smooth. You don't have to use vanilla + chocolate, you could just use one or the other. Other good options are white or chocolate melting wafers (Ghirardelli brand) or candy melts (any color); if using, add 1 teaspoon canola or vegetable oil when melting in the microwave. The almond bark comes in 16 ounce packages so just use part of the almond bark and save the rest for later.

Oreo Cookies : Use any Oreo cookie flavor/variety you want! Chocolate, dark chocolate, mint, golden oreo, birthday cake, peppermint, etc. Do not use thins or the double-stuffed.
