I was served these delicious (and easy-to-make) Oreo truffles pretty much everywhere I went while visiting Kendrick’s relatives over Thanksgiving. Put them in a pretty tin, and they make a lovely, personal (and inexpensive) Christmas gift.
OREO TRUFFLES (recipe from my mother-in-law, originally via Kraft)
What you need:
1 package Oreo cookies, finely crushed
1 8 oz package cream cheese (no reduced fat stuff, please…we’re talking truffles here)
2 packages (8 squares each) semi-sweet chocolate, melted (in the microwave is easiest)
What you do:
1. Mix 3 cups of the cookie crumbs with the cream cheese until well-blended.
2. Shape cookie/cream cheese mixture into 1” balls.
3. Dip balls in melted chocolate (use two forks and sort of roll them around until evenly coated; allow excess to drip off) and place on wax paper.
4. Sprinkle over remaining cookie crumbs and refrigerate at least one hour before serving. Store in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator.
Other decorating ideas: Adorn your truffles with sprinkles, colored sugar, coconut, crushed nuts, or even edible glitter…pretty much anything goes.
