Oreo Truffles

... has a nice ring to it don't you think?

These taste even better than they sound. Three ingredients, no baking, and delicious. Perfect. The best part, other than the no baking, is that you get to alleviate some stress by crushing all those Oreos into crumbs with a frying pan. Or you could use a food processor, but where is the fun in that?

Ingredients: 

- 1 package of Oeros, crushed

- 1 brick cream cheese, room temperature

- White melting chocolate, I use 2 bags of melting chips that you can get from Michael's or any craft store

- Colored melting chocolate or dark chocolate chips (optional)

Directions:

- Cream the cream cheese and then mix in the Oreo crumbs

- Put the dough in the refrigerator for at least an hour to harden

- Remove dough from the frig and roll into tbs sized balls

- Melt about half a bag of chocolate in the microwave using directions on bag

- Dip the balls into the melted chocolate (I like to use toothpicks for this)

- Place them onto wax or parchment paper and allow to dry

- Continue melting chocolate as needed and coat each of the Oreo balls

They go from looking like this... 

To this...

- Here is the optional part, if you have a different colored chocolate or even some chocolate chips laying around you can melt them and then drizzle over the top of the truffles, or you could add colored sprinkles before they harden. The options are endless!

Don't these look great? And they make a wonderful Christmas gift for co-workers or neighbors too.

Happy Cookie Making!
