- Work in small batches – roll into 1-inch balls or 1 1/2-inch balls for best results.
- You can use wax paper on your hands to help form the balls with less sticking.
- Allow dipped truffles to cool completely before serving.

Instructions

- After chilling, heat the blue candy melts in the microwave by heating for 30 second increments, stirring well in between.
- Drop blue candy over half of the Oreo balls, letting the excess drip off. Place them back onto the wax paper. For the best results, place each ball onto a fork and let the candy fall over.
