    Oreo Truffles



    1 (18 oz.) pkg Oreo sandwich cookies, finely crushed

    1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened

    1 lb. white baking chocolate, melted (dark chocolate can be substituted for the white chocolate)



    In large mixing bowl, combine crushed cookies and cream cheese. Beat with mixer on low speed until well blended. Form 1-inch balls by hand. Dip balls in white chocolate; place on baking sheet covered with waxed paper. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. To store, cover and refrigerate.



    Make 50 truffles.



    Hope my self-restraint holds up after I make these...all may not make it over to the family on Christmas eve! lol

    Really good when made with mint Oreos (add 1 tsp mint flavoring) 8 oz. cream cheese and dipped in melted green mint chips with about 1 oz. (about 1/4 of one brick of paraffin added....not 1 brick of paraffin!).
    Make them small, as they are very rich.

    A friend of mine does these with cake. She bakes a cake, cools it, cuts it up into small pieces and mixes in a can of icing. Then she chills it until it hardens, uses a melon baller to scoop it out and dips the balls in the chocolate. My favorite is Red Velvet with Cream Cheese icing dipped in white chocolate.

    Hi Jeane! I use "paraflakes" (made with cocoa butter), they can be found at most cake decorating supply stores and online. Use 1/4 c. for each 1 pound of candy melts or chips called for in the recipe.
