oreo truffles



These things are amazing and I don't even like oreos! My first attempt at making any kind of cake balls/truffles. A must try!


Ingredients:
1 package Oreo cookies
1 8oz. package cream cheese, softened (I use low-fat or fat-free)
Your choice of melting chocolate (I used 2 boxes of Baker's white chocolate)
1 box of dark/milk chocolate for drizzle, optional (I used Bakers dark choc)


Directions:
Finely crush package of oreos in a large food processor or place them in a ziploc bag and crush into a fine consistency.

Stir in softened cream cheese. I found it's easiest to just mix it with clean hands.


Use a small melon baller or cookie scoop and roll into small balls.


Put them in the freezer for about 20-30 minutes to keep the balls from falling apart.


Melt chocolate as directed on package (I microwave it inside of a large glass measuring cup) and then dip one at a time into chocolate (I use 2 spoons to mix ball around and cover completely, and then pick it up with one of the spoons), tap off the extra chocolate and then slide them onto wax/parchment paper to dry.

(Optional) Dip a fork into melted dark colored chocolate, then drizzle onto each cake ball.


Keep refrigerated IF you have any leftovers ;)

Variations- Using Mint Oreos and dark chocolate Bakers melting chocolate. Drizzle with green colored chocolate!  :)
