Oreo Truffles


I know, right?  I went to a football party thing a while back, and one of the girls brought these.  The container was empty about 20 minutes later.  Wow. 
Healthy?  Probably not.  Delicious?  You bet your boots they're delicious.
Thanks to Bakerella for the picture and the recipe. :)

Ingredients
  • 1 Package of Oreo cookies, crushed
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 bag chocolate chips, melted or 2 packages of dipping chocolate (white, dark, milk---which ever you prefer)
Directions
  1. Mix the crushed Oreo cookies and cream cheese together in a bowl.  Use a food processor or blender to speed up this process.
  2. With your hands, roll Oreo and cream cheese mixture into small balls.
  3. Place on a baking sheet lined with wax paper.
  4. Chill in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  5. Melt chocolate chips or dipping chocolate in the microwave untiil melted
    Note: only melt for 10 seconds at a time, stirring between meltings
  6. Using a toothpick, dip the Oreo balls into the melted chocolate. Cover well.
  7. Let the Oreo balls harden on the cookie sheet in the fridge or freezer for about 15 minutes.
  8. Serve cold.
*To make a healthier version, you could try using low fat cream cheese, but really--does it make that big of a difference?

Makes about 25-40 balls, depending on how big you make them.
