Oreo Truffles

This is probably the easiest truffle recipe out there, and so good!


36 Oreo cookies, finely crushed (one standard package)
1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 pkg (8 oz) semi-sweet baking chocolate, broken up and melted

Mix the crushed Oreo cookies in with the soft cream cheese (you can reserve some crumbs for garnishing if you wish). Shape into balls and place on pan or baking dish. Refrigerate for at least one hour or until firm.

Melt the baking chocolate in a double-boiler. Once the chocolate is smooth. Dip truffles into the chocolate. Don't leave in too long or the truffle could fall apart. I found it easiest to place the truffle on a fork and lower into the chocolate and then use a spoon to spoon chocolate over the top. Once coated, place on a wax paper covered pan and repeat. Make sure to garnish before the chocolate coating hardens. Keep refrigerated.

Merry Christmas!
