Oreo Truffles - A appetizing and Easy to Make Treat!

Sometimes you want a treat that is just a step above the traditional cookies. Maybe a friend is having a party and you are supposed to bring something, but you want something a slight special. But who has the time or the know how to make a glutton dessert? No need to slave in the kitchen all day to make something great - just whip up a batch of Oreo Truffles. You will be the hit of the party.

What are Oreo truffles you ask? Just one of the most yummy treats that you can make! If you like Oreo's you will love truffles made from these fun cookies. They are easy to make and I have yet to find whatever who doesn't love them.

Kitchenaid Blender

All you need to make this fun treat is:

• 1 holder of Oreo Cookies. Get the quarterly kind, not double stuff.
• 1 - 8 oz holder of softened cream cheese. You can use quarterly or the reduced fat kind
• Dipping chocolate. You can also melt milk chocolate or white chocolate chips for dipping, but the consistency of dipping chocolate is better.

To make the truffles, crush the Oreo's thoroughly until there are no chunks. I have found the easiest way to do this is to put a few at a time in the blender and turn it on high. I put the crushed cookies into a bowl and then crush a few more. This formula may take a slight longer, but the cookies are thoroughly crushed when I am done.

Now mix the crushed Oreo's with the softened cream cheese. I like to put the whole aggregate into my KitchenAid and then let it mix for a few minutes. Now, make small balls out of your cookie/cream cheese mixture. I like to use a cookie scoop or a melon ball scoop. This will give you an idea of how big to make the truffles. Set them on a cookie sheet and get ready to dip in the chocolate.

Now it is time to melt your chocolate. You can melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stove or in the microwave. To melt in the microwave, use a glass bowl, microwave at half power in 30 second increments. Stir and do it again if the chocolate isn't thoroughly melted. When you take it out of the microwave to stir, this will melt a lot of the un-melted chunks. You don't want to cook it too long or it will become grainy and unfit for dipping.

Dip the truffle balls into the melted chocolate and set on a try lined with waxed paper to dry. Once they have set, drizzle white chocolate over them for a yummy and ornamental addition. Store the done truffles in the refrigerator.

I certify you the truffles will be the hit of any event! Make sure you print out some recipes and have them close by because population will ask how you made them.
