Oreo Truffles

On Saturday, I am throwing a killer bachelorette party. And, what party is complete without a little chocolate?

To satisfy our cravings, I decided to make Oreo Truffles! Delish!

Here's what you'll need:
1 package Oreo Cookies, finely crushed
1 package (8 oz.) Cream Cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
Semi-Sweet Chocolate or Candy Melts (found at Michaels, etc.)

Put package of Oreos into a food processor. Blend until cookies are finely crushed. If you don't have a food processor, you can do this the old fashioned way by using a Ziploc bag and a rolling pin.
Dump crushed cookies into mixing bowl. Add package of cream cheese (you can soften cream cheese in the microwave by heating it on High for 10 seconds) and 1 teaspoon vanilla.

Mix/blend until combined and sticky looking. It helps if you have one of these:

Roll into balls and put in the freezer for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Melt chocolate ( I used baby blue, vanilla-flavored candy melts) over a double-boiler or in the microwave (use the defrost of 50% power setting).

Dips Oreo balls in melted chocolate and place on waxed paper.

I used both candy melts (in blue and yellow) and semi-sweet chocolate chips. I found the easiest way to dip the truffles was to add two or three at a time to the bowl and roll each one using two forks.

Refrigerate (or freeze) 1 hour or until firm. Store in an airtight container.

If you're feeling really fancy, you can sprinkle some extra Oreo crumbs or sprinkles on top of the truffle before the chocolate hardens.
