How do I make Biscoff Truffles?
Crush Biscoff Cookies. 
Mix in the cream cheese. 
Roll Biscoff mixture into balls. 
Coat Biscoff truffle into white chocolate. 
Drizzle white chocolate onto truffles and sprinkle with crumbs.
Start by taking out cream cheese so it is softened. Once softened you can get to work on the main part of this recipe.
Step 1: Crush the cookies
Crush the cookies, this is best done in a food processor. If you’re in a bind you can do this by hand by placing the cookies in a ziplock bag and bashing it with a rolling pin.
Step 2: Add the cream cheese
Set aside 1 tablespoon on cookies for decoration. Add the softened cream cheese into the crushed cookies. Mix and mix and mix until the cream cheese is completely incorporated and there are no white streaks.
Step 3: Roll into balls and place in the freezer
Take about a teaspoon of the mixture and roll into a ball. Place onto a cookie sheet or tray. Continue to roll until all the mixture is finished. It should make approximately 36 balls. Place the tray into the freezer for 15 – 30 minutes so they can firm up which will make them easier to coat in the chocolate.
Step 4: Coat balls in chocolate
Melt the chocolate in microwave safe glass in the microwave in 30 second bursts until almost melted, mix well until the melts are smooth and silky. Add a teaspoon of non flavoured oil to smoothen out the chocolate further. Remove the Biscoff truffle balls from the freezer. Place a ball on a fork and dip the fork into the chocolate, remove once coated. Gently tap the fork on the edge of the glass to remove any excess chocolate. Set the coated ball back onto the tray to set.
Step 5: Decorate
Drizzle any left over chocolate onto the balls and sprinkle with the reserved crushed cookies.

You could try, I haven’t myself. The reason I chose the sandwich cookies is because I felt they more closely resembled an oreo style of cookie. I also think the filling helps with sweetness and texture.
Nope, they’re pretty easy for such an indulgent treat. You only need 3 main ingredients and you’re good to go.
Compound chocolate is chocolate that doesn’t contain cocoa butter. This means that it is not real chocolate and therefore does not need to be tempered. Tempering is a tricky process and definitely not needed for a quick and simple dessert like this one.
These can be stored in an airtight container for 1-2 days at room temperature or 3-4 days in the fridge. The chocolate may crack after the first day, however this doesn’t change the texture or flavour.
