These are one of the easiest and yummiest desserts to make. They are great to take to a party (which is what I am doing. Our Family Christmas party is tomorrow), or to wrap up in little treat bags as gifts. You can change them up by using different flavored Oreos or using different chocolate to dip them in (like white or dark). You can also make them a lot prettier than mine by drizzling white chocolate over them or adding some festive sprinkles. You will need a food processor for best results. This makes about 30-40 truffles, depending on how big you make them.
Ingredients
1 package of Oreos
1 8 oz block of cream cheese, softened
4 oz. milk chocolate chips
4 oz. semi sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
1) Place Oreos in a food processor and turn on High until they are fine crumbs.
2) Transfer crumbs to a mixing bowl and tear pieces off of the cream cheese and drop them in the bowl. With your hands, knead together the crumbs and cream cheese until you have a soft dough-like texture and you do not see any white from the cream cheese.
3) Roll the mixture into small balls, a little smaller than a golf ball. Place them on a baking sheet lined with wax paper and put them in the freezer for about 10 mins to set.
4) Place both kinds of chocolate chips in a microwavable bowl and microwave for about 2 mins and stir until smooth and melted. (add time in 20 second increments if it is not melted)
5) Dip Oreo balls in the chocolate and place back on the wax paper. There is no clean way to do this, you will get messy. I mainly just use my fingers, but a toothpick can come in handy too. If you are going to add any sprinkles or decorations, you would add it now while the chocolate is melted. Allow the Truffles to set in the fridge for at least 30 mins before serving.
Enjoy!
