Transfer the mixture to a bowl and leave to cool for 20 minutes.
Once cooled, mix the powdered (icing) sugar into the melted chocolate, 1/2 a cup at a time until the mixture starts to hold its shape when rolled (see note 1 below).
1.5 cups powdered sugar
Roll 1-2 tablespoons of mixture into a ball, flatten slightly and place on lined tray.
Place tray in the fridge for 1 - 2 hours until firm.
Chocolate coating
When you are ready to dip the truffle balls, melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a double boiler or in the microwave (see note 2 below).
1 cup milk chocolate chips, 1 tbsp coconut oil
Once melted, remove the bowl from the heat and take your truffles out of the fridge.
Place each truffle on a fork and gently dip into the chocolate to coat.
Place chocolate dipped truffle balls on the parchment lined tray and garnish with the crushed Oreos.
5-6 java chip Oreos, crushed
Leave to set for 20 minutes or until chocolate is dry.
Serve or store in the refrigerator in a sealed container.
Notes
1. The amount of sugar you need will depend on the type of chocolate used. I used a thick milk chocolate. If you use wafers or less dense chocolate you may require extra icing sugar to achieve the right consistency.2. Use low heat to the melt chocolate in a double boiler. If using the microwave, set the timer for 20 seconds at a time and stir in between each time. Do not overheat or the chocolate may separate.3. I have used milk chocolate, but dark chocolate also works well for both the truffle mix and the chocolate coating. You can also use milk chocolate inside and dark chocolate on the outside.
