Serves: 30
Ingredients
  • 1 Bag Oreos
  • 1 12 Oz. Bar Cream Cheese
  • 1 12 Oz. Bag Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1/4 tsp. Vanilla (Optional)
  • 1 Tbsp Shortening (Optional)
Instructions
  1. Crush one bag of Oreos by placing it in a zip lock bag and hitting them with a rolling pin
  2. Add the crushed Oreos into a mixing bowl and add the cream cheese
  3. Mix the Oreos until they have totally combined
  4. Grab a walnut sized portion of truffle center and roll into a ball
  5. Repeat for all the dough, this was 30 balls for my mixture
  6. After the balls are rolled, refrigerate until ready for coating
  7. Setup a double boiler and melt the chocolate
  8. Optionally, add the vanilla and shortening, this will serve to thin the mixture and make it easier to coat the balls
  9. Dip the balls into the chocolate,use a fork or a truffle tool to remove the ball
  10. When removing, tap the fork on the side of the bowl to even the chocolate ball and then scrap the bottom of the fork on the bowl
  11. Using a second fork, push the truffle off the first fork onto some parchment paper
  12. Once all the truffles are done, refrigerate
Notes
You can vary the taste of the filling by using other types of Oreos, try mint! Also, you can coat them with coconut, crushed nuts, or cocoa powder!
