Oreo truffles

Mmmm truffles! I got this recipe from my cousin Rupel, she made these a couple of years ago, and it is seriously one of the best no-bake desserts I have ever come across! When I found out you only needed three ingredients to make this, I was sold! You can make different variations of these too! I've made mint truffles using the cool mint creme oreos, and also peanut butter-oreo truffles with the peanut butter oreos, and both are so good! These are awesome for any occasion, anytime of the year! Thanks Rupelben! :)

Ingredients

- 8oz Oreo Cookies

- 4oz Cream cheese at room temperature

- 8oz milk chocolate (baking) chocolate

Directions

- In a food processor, crush oreos until they resemble coarse crumbs.

- Using an electric mixer mix cream cheese and oreo crumbs until fully combined, mixture will have a thick paste consitency. (if the mixture is too thick and isn't mixing, add 1 TBSP of milk).

- Refrigerate mixture in an air tight container for at least 3 hours until mixture is firm. (I let it sit overnight, as it is easier to roll)

- Using a mini ice-cream scoop or teaspoon, scoop mixture and using your palms, roll into balls. Place on parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least an hour until firm.

- Melt chocolate according to instructions. (Be sure to use baking/cooking chocolate and not regular chocolate)

- Take the oreo balls and dip into the chocolate and place on parchment paper. Let the chocolate set. Refrigerate.

- (optional) Melt 1oz white chocolate. Put melted chocolate into a ziploc bag and cut the corner of bag. Drizzle over truffles.

Serving size

- Makes approximately 2 dozen truffles

Low fat version

- substitute regular oreos for reduced fat oreos.

- substitute regular cream cheese for 1/3 reduced fat cream cheese.
