Oreo Truffles

By criscrossqz

A new recipe for me ~ but I've made it several times already. It's VERY EASY to do (kids could help) ~ they're very rich and 6-8 would make a nice gift in a tin ~ freeze well

Ingredients

• 1 16-oz package Oreo sandwich cookies
• 1 8-oz. cream cheese, softened
• 8 oz. semi-sweet chocolate melted (or 8 oz. white chocolate chips melted) ~ OR ~ can use almond or white chocolate bark

Preparation

Step 1

Crush cookies to fine crumbs (easiest in food processor). Add cream cheese and mix until well blended (also easiest to pulse in food processor). Make cookie balls, about 1” in diameter (about 40). Dip balls in melted chocolate; place on wax paper to set. Refrigerate until firm (about 1 hour). Should be stored in refrigerator.

Can drizzle same or opposite chocolate over the top ~ or shake some sprinkles or extra crushed cookie over chocolate before it sets.

These fit perfectly into bon-bon papers for gifts. You could also put sticks into them (baking section of hobby stores) to make “cake balls”. If you have a block of Styrofoam, you can put the sticks into that for the balls to set.
