Preparation

Step 1

Crush 9 of the cookies to fine crumbs in food processor (or in a resealable plastic bag using a rolling pin), reserve for later use. Crush remaining 36 cookies to fine crumbs, place in medium bowl. Add cream cheese, mix until well blended. Roll cookie mixture into 42 balls, about 1".

Dip balls in chocolate; place on wax paper covered baking sheet. (Any leftover chocolate can be stored at room temperature for another use.) Sprinkle with reserved cookie crumbs.

Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Store leftover trufles, covered, in refrigerator.

Hint: For easy dipping, place truffle ball in melted chocolate to coat, roll. Lift truffle from chocolate using 2 forks (this will allow excess chocolate to run off) before palcing on wax paper.
