Oreo Truffles

These are so fabulous and so easy. I can't tell you how great they taste. Make them immediately, you will be amazed.

Makes about 40 truffles 

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Oreo cookies (3 sleeves)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 lb milk or dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 lb white chocolate, chopped (this ingredient/step is optional)

Directions

Using a food processor, grind cookies to a fine powder. Add cream cheese and vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.
Roll mixture into small balls (truffle sized) and place on wax-lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate for 45 minutes.
Line two cookie sheets with wax paper. In double-boiler, melt milk chocolate (you can also do this in a microwave in a large bowl, just stir every 15 seconds or so and keep a close eye on the chocolate). Dip the balls in the chocolate and coat thoroughly. With slotted spoon, lift balls out of chocolate and let excess chocolate drip off. Place on wax-paper-lined cookie sheet.
In separate double boiler (or in microwave, same deal), melt white chocolate. Using a fork, drizzle white chocolate over balls. Let cool.
Store in airtight container, in refrigerator.
