Oreo Truffles Recipe

ngredients:

Yield 40 truffles

• 1 lb Oreo cookies (3 sleeves)
• 8 ounces cream cheese , room temperature
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (using different extracts allows for subtle flavour changes...I've used mint extract, upped to 1 tsp) (optional)
• 1 lb milk chocolate
• 1/2 lb white chocolate

Directions:

1. 1
   Using a food processor, grind cookies to a fine powder. With a mixer, blend cookie powder, cream cheese and vanilla extract until thoroughly mixed (there should be no white traces of cream cheese).
2. 2
   Roll into small balls and place on wax-lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate for 45 minutes.
3. 3
   Line two cookie sheets with wax paper. In double-boiler, melt milk chocolate. Dip balls and coat thoroughly. With slotted spoon, lift balls out of chocolate and let excess chocolate drip off. Place on wax-paper-lined cookie sheet.
4. 4
   In separate double boiler, melt white chocolate. Using a fork, drizzle white chocolate over balls. Let cool.
5. 5
   Store in airtight container, in refrigerator.
