FAQs
Q: Can I use regular Oreos instead of Golden Oreos?
A: Yes. Regular Oreos will give a chocolate base and change the color and taste.
Q: Do I need a cookie scoop to make the truffles?
A: No. You can use a spoon to scoop and use your hands to roll the balls.
Q: Can I make these without a microwave to melt the chocolate?
A: Yes. Melt white chocolate over a double boiler on the stove, stirring until smooth.
Q: How do I keep sprinkles from falling off?
A: Press sprinkles gently into the truffle when the coating is still soft so they stick better.
