Good Eats and Yummy Treats: Oreo Truffles

My friend Hannah made these forever and ever ago and I just loved them.  I finally took the time to look up the recipe and make them this past Christmas.  My family just loved them!  I found the recipe for them on Bakerella.  They are so easy and so delicious!

Oreo Truffles

1 package oreo cookies (if desired, set aside 7 for topping)
1 8oz. package cream cheese (softened)
White chocolate bark

Finely crush 7 cookies in a food processor or place them in a ziploc bag and crush into a fine consistency. Reserve for later.  Crush remaining cookies and stir in softened cream cheese. Use the back of a large spoon to help mash the two together.  Roll the mixture into 1″ balls and place on wax paper covered cookie sheet.  Chill for 15 minutes or so to harden.  Melt chocolate as directed on the package and then dip balls into chocolate, tap off extra and set aside on wax paper covered cookie sheet to dry. I had left over bark that I used to drizzle over the tops of all of them once they were dipped.  You can sprinkle the tops with the 7 crushed cookies for decoration. (I usually eat mine before they make it to this stage.)  Once dry, refrigerate and enjoy!

Makes about 36 truffles.
