Easy Oreo Truffles
1 pkg -18oz Oreo chocolate sandwich cookies, divided
1pkg (8oz cream cheese, softened
2 pkg ( 8oz each) Baker's semi sweet baking
chocolate, melted
Crush 9 of the cookies to fine crumbs in food processor; reserve for
later use (I use a blender or you can put them in a resealable
plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush them.)
Crush remaining 36 cookies to fine crumbs; place in medium bowl. Add
cream cheese; mix until well blended. Roll cookie mixture into balls,
about 1 inch in diameter. Dip balls in chocolate; place on wax paper-
covered baking sheet.
Sprinkle with reserved cookie crumbs.
Refrigerate until firm, about an hour.
Store covered in refrigerator. Makes approx 40-50 truffles
You will have some leftover cookie crumbs. I just put them in a
freezer bag and put them in the freezer. We like to use the crumbs
with ice cream.
For easy dipping, place truffle ball in melted chocolate to coat;
Lift truffle from chocolate using two forks (this will allow extra
chocolate to run off) before placing on wax paper
I also substituted mint Oreo. I had to tweak it a little bit because
there are less oreos in the 18 oz pkg.
I am not sure it this qualifies as it uses butter but it is good on spice cake, carrot cake and chocolate cake - it tastes like cool whip.
