Oreo Truffles


So, these are the new love of my life! Seriously one of the best things I've ever had! And so super easy to make. And also, you only need 3 to 4 ingredients. Which makes grocery shopping a whole lot easier! As a side note, the vanilla is just to add a little extra flavor, so if you have everything but that, then just go without it. I personally prefer it with, but it just makes the truffles a little better. They are still so good without it.

Ingredients
  • 1 lb Oreo Cookies (3 sleeves)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (using different extracts allows for subtle flavor changes. For mint flavor, add 1 tsp mint extract.)
  • 1 lb milk chocolate
Directions
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.)

Roll into small balls and place on wax-lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate for 45 minutes.

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 sheets.

With a fork, drizzle chocolate over balls. Let cool.

Store in airtight container, in refrigerator.

Camber, I haven't ever made these, but I have tasted them, and they are yummy, however they called them raindeer poop, and used white chocolate instead of milk, either way I am sure they both taste great. I will for sure try!
