Truffles

Oreo Truffles

1 1-pound package of oreos
1 8-ounce package of cream cheese, softened

Pulse oreos in food processor until you have fine crumbs and no traces of the cream filling remain. Transfer into mixer bowl. Blend in softened cream cheese until totally combined. Form into 1-inch balls and place on a cookie sheet covered with wax paper. Freeze about 45 minutes or until firm. Melt 1 12-ounce package of chocolate chips. You can use milk chocolate, dark or semi-sweet. Dip balls into melted chocolate using a wooden skewer. Let excess drip and swirl off. Slide off onto another cookie sheet covered with wax paper with a fork. Drizzle with more chocolate, or do white chocolate.

Variations: these truffles can be done with mint oreos (best with dark chocolate covering). I recently tried using Nutter Butters instead with good results- Try dipping these in milk chocolate! For parties and holidays use the Wilton Candy Melts to cover the truffles or just do the drizzle. They come in practically every color. (Great for your football parties!)

Perfect balance!
