Making the Truffle Filling

In a food processor, blend 1 package of Oreo cookies until finely crushed.

Add 8 oz softened cream cheese and mix until a smooth dough forms. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up. For tips on shaping truffles, visit snack recipes here.

Coating the Truffles

Melt 12 oz white chocolate chips or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Stir in purple gel food coloring until you achieve a vibrant hue. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, using a fork or dipping tool to coat evenly. Tap gently to remove excess chocolate and return to the parchment paper. Let set at room temperature or chill in the fridge for faster hardening.

Decorating the Truffles

Use black icing or edible markers to draw tentacle-like swirls or patterns on the truffles. Sprinkle edible glitter or colorful sprinkles for a shimmering ocean effect. Add mini chocolate starfish or shells for extra charm. Allow decorations to set before serving. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

5. Decorating the Truffles

Elevate your truffles with these final touches:

  • Draw intricate tentacle designs with black icing for a playful nod to Ursula.
  • Sprinkle edible glitter sparingly to mimic the shimmer of the ocean.
  • Add mini chocolate starfish or shells for an underwater theme.
