It’s the holiday season, it’s okay to indugle yourself a little more often. Or atleast that is what I’m trying to convice myself. That, and with finals overtaking my life, I deserve a snack every now and then (more now, than then).
Baking also helps destress me, therefore giving me the best excuse ever to whip up some orea truffles the other night. And not just one batch, two whole batches. After passing some off with friends, I’m still “stuck” with a whole tray full. Well the tray isn’t so full anymore.
These oreo truffles are easy to make, and simply delicious. I recieved tons of compliments on them, that I will make them again soon, just for the attention!
OREO TRUFFLES
What you need:
1 package Oreo cookies, finely crushed
1 8 oz package cream cheese (no reduced fat stuff, please…we’re talking truffles here)
2 packages (8 squares each) semi-sweet chocolate, melted
What you do:
1. Mix 3 cups of the cookie crumbs with the cream cheese until well-blended.
2. Shape cookie/cream cheese mixture into 42 1” balls.
3. Dip balls in melted chocolate (use two forks and sort of roll them around until evenly coated; allow excess to drip off) and place on wax paper.
4. Sprinkle over remaining cookie crumbs and refrigerate at least one hour before serving. Store in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator.
Other decorating ideas: Adorn your truffles with sprinkles, colored sugar, or even edible glitter.
