Tips for making gluten-free Oreo truffles

A small cookie scoop is a great tool for making 1-inch Oreo ball truffles.

Melting wafers work best for this recipe. The consistency is thin enough for an even coat. You can use regular chocolate chips if needed, but they may not have the best dipping consistency and might require coconut oil to thin out.

Use a toothpick to slide the Oreo truffle off the fork onto the parchment paper.

If you notice the bottom start to crumble into the melted chocolate, pop them back in the freezer for 10 minutes.
