I'm not a huge Oreo cookie fan, but these truffles are REALLY yummy and easy to make. I made them for a couple different events in February and they were a hit. I dipped some of them in white almond bark, too, just for variety.
Ingredients:
1 pkg. (8 oz.) Cream Cheese, softened
1 pkg. (18 oz.) OREO Cookies, finely crushed (about 4-1/4 cups), divided
2 pkg. (8 squares each) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, melted (or 16 oz chocolate chips)
Instructions:
MIX cream cheese and 3 cups cookie crumbs until well blended.
SHAPE into 48 (1-inch) balls. Dip in *melted chocolate; place on waxed paper-covered baking sheet. Sprinkle with remaining cookie crumbs.
REFRIGERATE 1 hour or until firm. Store in tightly covered container in refrigerator.
*How to Melt Chocolate:
Place unwrapped chocolate squares in microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 2-1/2 min. or until chocolate is completely melted, stirring every 30 sec.
How to Easily Dip Truffles
To easily coat truffles with the melted chocolate, add truffles, in batches, to bowl of melted chocolate. Use 2 forks to roll truffles in chocolate until evenly coated. Remove truffles with forks, letting excess chocolate drip back into bowl. Place truffles on prepared baking sheet; let stand until firm.
yay, Mandi's back!
ReplyDeleteI make something similar sometimes, but with cheesecake as a filling. Just bake a cheesecake without a crust, cool, roll into balls, roll the balls into finely crushed graham crackers, and then coat in the chocolate like Mandi explains.
