Preparation

Step 1

In a saucepan, bring butter and cream to a boil over medium-high heat; remove from heat. Add 1 package chocolate; stir until melted. Add cookie crumbs.
Line a shallow square baking pan with foil, leaving enough overhang on both sides. Spread truffle mixture evenly into pan. Chill until firm, about 1 hour.
Remove mixture from pan; cut into 36 pieces. Shape each piece into an oval or round shape. Place on a waxed-paper lined baking sheet and flatten slightly. Chill until firm.
In the top of a double boiler set over simmering water, heat remaining chocolate and shortening or oil, stirring until melted and smooth. Remove top of double boiler from simmering water.
Place shaped truffle on a fork. Holding it over the pot, spoon melted chocolate over truffle.
Return truffle to baking sheet. Repeat process with remaining truffles. Chill until set.
Place truffles on wire racks set over waxed paper. Fill a resealable plastic bag with white chocolate; snip off 1 corner. Drizzle chocolate over truffles. Chill truffles until set.
