Oreo Truffles

Stevie introduced me to these yummy devils.  They are so good.  They are easy to make and fun for a party!

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package OREO Chocolate Sandwich Cookies. (I separated the cookie from the creme filling and added the creme to the cream cheese, this is optional)
  • 1 (8 ounce) package Cream Cheese, softened
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages BAKER'S  Baking Chocolate, melted  or I used a tub of the white chocolate and then some milk chocolate, I think they look prettier white :)

Directions

  1.  (Optional) I separated the cookie from the creme filling.  You can just crush the cookies whole.
  2. Crush cookies to fine crumbs in food processor. (Cookies can also be finely crushed in a resealable plastic bag using a rolling pin.) 
  3. In medium bowl mix cream cheese and creme filling together.  Add crushed cookies and mix until well blended. Roll cookie mixture into 42 balls, about 1-inch in diameter.  Put in the freezer to harden.
  4. Dip balls in chocolate; place on wax paper-covered baking sheet. (Any leftover chocolate can be stored at room temperature for another use.) 
  5. (Optional) Drizzle chocolate on top
  6. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Store leftover truffles, covered, in refrigerator.
