oreo truffles

this weekend, me and carley went on a mini baking spree.
we made chocolate chip cookies (pre made dough though),
orange bars (like lemon bars, but with orange), and delicious
oreo truffles. i've made these so many times because
they're so good and really simple.
there are only three ingredients, oreos, cream cheese, and chocolate.
first you break up oreo cookies into a food processor
and add a block of cream cheese. (i usually do one row of
cookies with 1/3 of the cream cheese at a time because i don't have a
huge food processor) after the two ingredients are very well
mixed, you will have a blob of black dough. refrigerate the dough
until it is firm and not mushy. then roll the dough into bite size
balls and refrigerate again (the warmth of your hands will have
made the dough mushy again). lastly melt some chocolate to coat
the truffles in. you can use a double boiler (or make a double boiler
with two pots) or you can melt chocolate in the microwave with oil
or baking wax and mix well. coat eat ball with chocolate and set on
wax paper. if you want to add sprinkles, nuts, or oreo crumbs,
do it now before the chocolate hardens.
also, you can drizzle white chocolate or melted peanut butter
chips over the balls after the coat of chocolate has hardened.
place the truffles in the freezer or fridge until the chocolate has
hardened and then enjoy! store them in the fridge.
they're so rich and good! :)
