Directions
- Line a 9X13-inch baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper. Set aside.
- Place the entire Oreo cookie including the cream filling and powdered sugar in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form.

- Fold in crushed pineapple (that has had all the juice squeezed out) and shredded coconut.
- Place mixture in freezer for about 20 minutes to help firm. Do not fully freeze.
- Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of truffle filling at a time. Place maraschino cherry in center of filling and form into 1.5 inch balls. Place truffle balls on prepared cookie sheet.
