Oreo Truffles

What a great great great easy recipe for a holiday dessert!! I decorated them for Christmas but could be easily decorated for any holiday or party…Use this for a quick but impressive dessert! Found on recipezaar.com

ENJOY!

40 truffles (approximately)

• 1 lb Oreo cookies (3 sleeves)
• 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (using different extracts allows for subtle flavour changes..) (optional)
• 1 lb milk chocolate
• 1/2 lb white chocolate

1. Using a food processor, grind cookies to a fine powder.
2. With a mixer, blend cookie powder, cream cheese and vanilla extract until thoroughly mixed (there should be no white traces of cream cheese).
3. Roll into small balls and place on wax-lined cookie sheet. (I used my cookie scoop, refrigerated it for a while, then rolled them and this made it A LOT less messy!)
4. Refrigerate for 45 minutes.
5. Line two cookie sheets with wax paper.
6. In double-boiler, melt milk chocolate.
7. Dip balls and coat thoroughly.
8. With slotted spoon, lift balls out of chocolate and let excess chocolate drip off. (I used a skewer dipped them and it made it A LOT easier)
9. Place on wax-paper-lined cookie sheet.
10. In separate double boiler, melt white chocolate.
11. Using a fork, drizzle white chocolate over balls. (I then sprinkled with colored sugars)
12. Let cool.
13. Store in airtight container, in refrigerator.
