In a medium bowl add the brick softened cream cheese and beat with a hand mixer until light and fluffy
Add 1 1/2 cups oreo cookie crumbs, 1 tsp vanilla and 1/2 a cup of icing sugar and mix well into the cream cheese
Form the oreo cookie dough into 1" sized balls and place on a lined baking sheet. About a rounded tsp each in size. Place in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes to firm up.
Melt 1 1/2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave. I have a setting for melting chocolate but if you don't melt on low setting for 1 minute at a time and stir in between cycles until chocolate is melted and smooth. Add 1 tsp of coconut oil and mix. This helps the chocolate stay smooth and makes it easier for dipping.
Dip each ball in the chocolate and roll around the cover completely. Use a fork to lift it out and let the excess chocolate drip off before placing on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper.
Place the baking tray of oreo truffles in the fridge for an hour to allow for the outside chocolate shell to harden and set and then enjoy!

You can also freeze them for up to 4 months in an airtight container. To thaw let them rest at room temperature.
