Crush the Oreos

Form the Truffles
Using your hands, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill the Truffles
Refrigerate the truffle balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dairy-free chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
Coat the Truffles
Dip each chilled truffle ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Place back on the parchment paper.
