Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 20 pieces golden Oreos
  • 1 cup roasted hazelnuts shelled, roasted and cooled
  • 8 oz white chocolate chopped or melted
  • 1/4 cup gold sprinkles for decoration

Equipment

  • Food processor
  • Mixing bowls
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Dipping spatula
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Place the Oreos in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed into crumbs.
  2. Add the roasted hazelnuts to the food processor and pulse a few times to break them into small chunks, but not too fine.
  3. Transfer the cookie and hazelnut mixture to a mixing bowl, then pour in the melted white chocolate and stir well with a spatula until fully combined and cohesive.
  4. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes to firm up slightly, making it easier to shape.
  5. Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the mixture and roll each into a small ball about 1 inch in diameter, placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Once all truffles are shaped, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes until they are firm and cool to the touch.
  7. Melt the white chocolate gently in a microwave or double boiler until smooth and glossy.
  8. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate using a dipping spatula, rotating to coat evenly, then place back on the parchment-lined sheet.
  9. Decorate each coated truffle with a pinch of gold sprinkles before the chocolate sets completely.
  10. Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes until firm and shiny.
  11. Arrange the finished truffles on a serving platter or store them in an airtight container, ready to enjoy or gift.

Notes

For extra flavor, lightly toast the hazelnuts before adding them to enhance their nuttiness. Handle melted chocolate carefully to prevent seizing. These truffles taste best when kept refrigerated but are best served slightly chilled for optimal texture.
