Oreo Truffles

I saw this recipe on Pinterest a while ago and am finally getting around to trying it out. I was so excited because it only has 3 ingredients and 1 of them is my favorite cookie - Oreos!!

The whole process from pantry to mouth took about 30 minutes (because of freezer/setting time).

No Bake Oreo Truffles

Ingredients:
1 package Oreo cookies
8oz cream cheese, softened
1 package baking chocolate/candy coating

Cooking Directions:
1. Finely chop Oreos in a food processor or blender. Set some aside for a garnish later.

2. Mix cream cheese and Oreos (you may not need to use all of your cream cheese. start with about half and continue adding in until you reach a doughy consistency) and roll into bite-size balls. Place on a cookie sheet covered with wax paper and put in freezer for 15 minutes.

3. While truffles are chilling, melt chocolate in a small bowl.

4. Once truffles have chilled, one at a time dip them in the chocolate and return to cookie sheet and sprinkle with the Oreo crumbs you set aside earlier.

5. Let chill and devour!

I ended up only using half of the package of Oreos and only about 3oz of the cream cheese dipped in 1/3 of the melted candy coating (which made 15 truffles). But after tasting them, I just might have to make the other half of the package!

The best way to describe the taste of these is that they taste just like Oreos dunked in milk. They have a gooey texture and are completely delicious. Good thing, each one is pretty filling so you won't want to eat too many at once, which just leaves more for later!

Make these. Love them. And remember them the next time you have a party or get together, they'd be perfect!
