Oreo Truffles



The promised Oreo truffles at last!  Friday night Kevin and I went to a "Marriage Night" at Southeast, for people who have gone through the "DC" discipleship training program and their spouses.  We needed to bring a dessert, so we opted for the super simple and inexpensive Oreo truffles!  They were a hit!  Seriously, these are too easy and too good not to try!



Ingredients:
8 oz. cream cheese
1 pkg. Oreos
1 pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 pkg. white chocolate chips





First, finely process the Oreos in a food processer.  (I have a stick blender with attachments that is also awesome for making smoothies!!)




Mix together the softened cream cheese with the Oreos.  Honestly, I used my hands.  It was much easier.



Melt the semi-sweet (or white) chocolate in a double boiler, (or in a glass bowl sitting on a pot of boiling water), stirring continuously.


Roll the mixture into 1 inch balls, then dip or roll a few of them at a time in the chocolate.  There is just no easy way to do this.  I am determined to work on the aesthetics of dipping chocolate!



Melt a small amount of the white chocolate for a minute or two on MED in the microwave, taking it out and squeezing the bag every so often to blend it.


Cut a tiny tip off the end and drizzle the truffles however you would like.  Obviously the variations are endless...either way, these are delicious!




Enjoy...and don't forget the milk! :)
