Oreo Truffles
If you like Oreos, this is the treat for you. If you like chocolate, this is for you. If you like cookies dipped in chocolate. THIS IS FOR YOU!!
This is a horrible picture. Horrible. Does not do the Oreo things justice. I suck at before pictures and right in the middle of the project I remember. Next time, I will take better pictures.
Another easy recipe. Makes about 25 balls depending on the size of your balls. :]
1 pkg 8 oz. Cream Cheese (softened, room temp)
1 pkg 12-16oz bag of Oreos or Tuxedos
Chocolate for coating. I used a bag of semi-sweet Nestle Tollhouse chocolate chips.
Put the cookies in a bag and pound to crumbs. They are easier to blend that way. Pour half in the blender then put half the softened cream cheese in the blender and mix. Repeat with the remainder of cookies and cream cheese. Chill to harden about 30 minutes. Scoop out into 1 inch balls or the size of ping pong balls. Put in the fridge or freezer about an hour to harden, that way when they are dipped in the melted chocolate they will still keep their shape better.
Melt the chocolate in a bowl in the microwave or in a double boiler. Dip the balls in and coat completely with chocolate. Place onto wax paper or parchment on a baking sheet. When all the cookie balls are coated in chocolate, put in fridge until ready to serve. They are bomb diggity.
I was concerned about tasting the cream cheese but honestly all I tasted was bits of heaven in each bite.
