Oreo Truffles – Kim Bradshaw
(stolen outright from the ‘Bakerella’ blog (which everyone should see!)
1 package oreo cookies (divided… use cookie including the cream center)
1 8oz. package cream cheese (softened)
white chocolate bark
1. Finely crush in a food processor or place them in a ziploc bag and crush into a fine consistency. Reserve for ¼ cup for later.
2. Stir in softened cream cheese. Use the back of a large spoon to help mash the two together. (I put in my bosch mixer.)
3. Roll the mixture into 1″ balls and place on wax paper covered cookie sheet.
4. Melt chocolate as directed on the package and then dip balls into chocolate, tap off extra and set aside on wax paper covered cookie sheet to dry. You can sprinkle the tops with the crushed cookies for decoration before they dry.
5. Once dry, refrigerate and enjoy!
Makes about 36 truffles.
Notes: It helps to freeze the uncoated balls for a few minutes to keep the mixture from starting to fall apart in the melted chocolate. If this becomes a problem, dip them in the chocolate, let dry and then dip again. They are also good dipped in regular milk chocolate bark. And for an extra twist, use the mint oreo sandwich cookies.
