Oreo Truffles
AllRecipes.com

Ingredients:

1 8oz package cream cheese, softened
1 32 oz package Oreos
2 bags chocolate chips {can also use 16 oz semi sweet baking chocolate}

Crush 9 Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or a ziploc bag and a rolling pin. I used the rolling pin. Set aside. Crush the remaining 36 Oreos into fine crumbs {again using whichever method you prefer} and put in a large bowl with cream cheese and mix until there are no more loose crumbs. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Roll Oreo/cream cheese mixture into 1 inch balls {I bought some latex gloves for this part, made it a LOT easier} and place on a baking sheet covered in wax paper. Insert a toothpick into each ball and refrigerate {or freeze} for an hour.

Now, the original recipe is what I followed for dipping them in chocolate. It was a nightmare. That's what reviews are for though! Everyone said to add 1 Tbsp shortening to thin the chocolate and make it easier to get a nice, even coating. Melt chocolate and shortening using a double boiler {don't have one? put a glass bowl over a pot of boiling water. make sure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl} until completely melted and smooth. Using the handy toothpicks, dip each truffle in chocolate, roll in reserved Oreo crumbs and place on wax papered baking sheet.

Refrigerate for 15 minutes, remove toothpicks and Voila! Gourmet lookin' {and tastin'} truffles! Store covered in fridge and eat at your own leisure. I've got a plate of 'em next to me with some Grey's Anatomy on Netflix

Bon bons and a chick flick ;)
