In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely crushed Oreo crumbs with the softened cream cheese. Mix thoroughly with a sturdy spoon or your hands until a uniform, dense, and pliable dough forms. Ensure there are no streaks of cream cheese remaining.

Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. This recipe should yield about 24-30 truffles. Place the rolled truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Once all truffles are rolled, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes, or until firm. This will help them hold their shape during coating.

While the truffles are chilling, prepare your white chocolate or candy melts. Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, use a double boiler over low heat, stirring constantly.

Remove the chilled truffles from the refrigerator. Using a fork or a dipping tool, dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it's completely coated. Gently tap off any excess chocolate.

Immediately after coating each truffle, sprinkle the reserved 1/4 cup of finely crushed Oreo crumbs over the wet chocolate for garnish. Return the coated and garnished truffles to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
