Oldie but Goodie #2 - Oreo Truffles

I was searching the internet and I came across a recipe for oreo truffles and of course I had to try them.  These turned out very tasty and were very easy to put together. All you need is three ingedients, one 8 oz. package cream cheese, one package of oreos (regular not double stuf) and chocolate for dipping (I used candy melts).  For me it turned out better if I put the oreos in the food processor and crushed them finely and then blended in one brick of cream cheese in the mixer so that everything is combined.  Once combined I formed each bit of truffle dough into a cone shape and put into the freezer for the mixture to set.  once firm I dipped half of the cone into white and the other side into white and it looked like a santa hat.

I used some white sprinkles between the white and red to hide any imperfections and then toped the santa hat with a chocolate pearl

I wrapped each oreo truffle in a treat bag tied with a boy


These were a big hit at work hopefully you will be able to try these and make these in any shape you want.
