Y’all know and love the humble Oreo. But if you blend two packets of them (approx 40 oreos) with a packet of cream cheese (200g) and cover in melted chocolate, you reach heaven!
– 2 (8oz packages) baking chocolate / melted
– 1 (8oz package) cream cheese / softened
– 1 pack Oreos
1. Crush 9 of the cookies to fine crumbs in food processor; reserve for later use. (Cookies can also be finely crushed in a resealable plastic bag using a rolling pin.) Crush remaining 36 cookies to fine crumbs; place in medium bowl. Add cream cheese; mix until well blended. Roll cookie mixture into 42 balls, about 1-inch in diameter.
2. Dip balls in chocolate; place on wax paper-covered baking sheet. (Any leftover chocolate can be stored at room temperature for another use.) Sprinkle with reserved cookie crumbs.
3. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Store leftover truffles, covered, in refrigerator.
They are prefect for holidays and special occasions because you can also decorate with colored sugar. Just sprinkle on top (about 3 tablespoons of sugar to one drop of color
