Oreo Truffles

Ahh yes. The ever popular Oreo truffle. I've made these for several years now and they are always a delicious hit. I decided to make them once again to include in my Christmas treat trays for friends and neighbors.

Oreo Truffles

1 package (1 lb 2 oz) Oreo cookies, finely crushed
1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
2 pkg (8 squares each) semi-sweet chocolate (melted) (you can also use chocolate chips)

-Mix 3 cups of the cookie crumbs and the cream cheese until well blended. Shape into 42 (1-inch) balls.

-Refrigerate for an hour or so until firm.

-Dip balls in melted chocolate (using a fork and then tapping the edge of the bowl works best to distribute the chocolate) and place on a wax paper covered cookie sheet.

-Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. Store any leftover truffles in tightly covered container in refrigerator.
