Oreo Truffles

I have truly become addicted to these Oreo truffles! I never knew something so simple could be so great! I stumbled upon a recipe for the original Oreo truffles and tweaked it a little bit to make it my own. I have given this recipe to so many friends and they all receive compliments on it. They're great for parties, church, work, pot lucks, etc... I promise you there won't be one left! The key to this recipe is getting through it without cheating and sneaking a taste before they're done. Posted below is my recipe for Oreo truffles.

Ingredients
1 package Oreo's
2 packages cream cheese (softened)
2 packages of Baker's dipping chocolate

Directions
1. Take three tows of Oreos and place in sealed freezer bag. Crush the Oreo's using a soup can, rolling pen, or something similar. Make sure they are ground fine, no chunks.
2. Place both blocks of cream cheese into a bowl and gradually mix 2/3 of Oreo mixture into the cream cheese. (Do this with hands, it's much easier!)
3. Form small balls, about the size of a gumball, out of the Oreo/cream cheese mixture and place into a container. When all the balls are formed, place in freezer for two hours. (this makes the balls easier to work with and dip into the chocolate without falling apart.)
4. Heat Baker's dipping chocolate per instructions.
5. Using two forks dip each ball into the chocolate..
-Tips-
-Coat each ball and then place on one fork. Tap edge of container with fork to remove excess chocolate.
-Use second spoon to help slide truffle off of the first spoon.
6. Place balls on wax paper and allow to harden.

I personally keep these in the fridge. They just taste sooo much better that way! You can also store them in the freezer for up to a week or leave them at room temperature. Feel free to experiment a little on your own. I've used different kinds of Oreo's (Candy Cane for Christmas is to amazing!) and different kinds of chocolate (white chocolate Oreo truffles anyone?) and all of them turn our great. You really can't go wrong with a truffle. :)
