Oreo Truffles

By Judycakes

Ingredients

• 1 bag Oreos
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 8 oz white or dark chocolate, melted (use more)

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray.

Finely crush the cookies in a blender or food processor. If using a food processor, add the cream cheese in large chunks and pulse a few times until the candy consistency is that of dough. If you don't have a food processor, stir together the softened cream cheese and crumbs until candy is well-mixed. Place in refrigerator to firm up for about 1 hour.

Using a teaspoon or candy scoop, form 1-inch balls and roll between your hands until they are round. Place the candies on prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate them while you prepare the dipping chocolate and cookie topping.

Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted, stirring after every minute. Allow the chocolate to cool slightly, but do not let it harden. Coarsely chop additional cookies, if desired, for garnish, creating cookie chunks approx 1/2 inch in size.

Dip the candy balls in the melted chocolate and place on the baking sheet. While the chocolate is still wet, top each with a sliver of cookie. Repeat with remaining truffles, and refrigerate for 1 hour or until chocolate has hardened.
