Recipe Find



Okay, this recipe is pretty good, we made it for Christmas, and they were just about everyone's favorite!


                   
                       OREO TRUFFLES
Ingredients:

  • 1 package of Oreos-any kind
  • 1 package of cream cheese {regular stuff, not the whipped}
  • one package of melting chocolate
You will need a food processor and a mixer for this recipe.
Put the Oreos in the food processor and "process" till they are fine crumbs.  Put crumbs and cream cheese into mixer and mix till cream cheese is fully incorporated.
Spread a sheet of wax paper on a cleared counter or table and use a very small cookie scoop to scoop them out. Don't worry about separating them as you would cookies; you won't be baking them, therefore, they won't spread! Put them in the freezer for a few hours or until they aren't as soft.
When you think they are hard enough, take them out, and start melting your chocolate! You can use a chocolate melter, or a double boiler {if you don't have either, melt in a glass measuring cup in the microwave, stirring occasionally to make sure it doesn't burn}. As soon as the chocolate is melted, dip a cookie ball in the chocolate and make sure it's completely covered. Don't leave it in the chocolate for too long, or else it will start to melt.
Carefully place on another sheet of wax paper and let cool.
Happily eat. :)
Notes:

  • You can use regular Oreos, mint Oreos, white Oreos, or even Nutter Butters :)
  • Likewise, you can use white chocolate, milk chocolate, or dark chocolate.
  • If your house is warm, it would be a good idea to, once they are frozen, plop them into a plastic container and slip in the freezer, only taking a few out as you dip them.
  • It would also be a good idea to store them in the refrigerator {or if the outside is cold, the "outdoor refrigerator" ;)} as they are made with cream cheese.
