Oreo Truffles

Oreo Truffles. If you're on Pinterest like I am you'll have seen the Oreo truffle recipe everywhere lately and you've drooled...Well my drool puddle was found out and my dear husband added to the drool puddle then begged for me to make these tasty, oh-so-naughty Oreo balls.

So, here are my horrible looking photos of the Oreo Truffles I made this last week for my husband's office potluck. (Someday I will have a better camera that will actually focus on food items.)

 I made three packages of Oreos worth of truffles trying to make the perfect consistency and method of dipping...No wonder I had a three day migraine after all the sugar and dipping madness. Along with gaining the two pounds I had lost the week before...

But not to worry, it was totally worth the weight gain. Maybe not the three day migraine...
Here is what I ended up with:

Oreo Truffles/Balls

1 package of chocolate cream oreos (I was cheep and used walmart brand oreos)
6 oz of Cream Cheese
6 squares of white or chocolate Almond Bark

Take the whole package of oreos and pulverize in food processor. You want crumbs, no chunks, no lumps, you're looking for cookie dust.
In a big mixing bowl put in 6 oz of cream cheese and your cookie dust. Mix together with your hands until you make a big ball of dough like madness. :)
On a cookie sheet covered with tin foil roll mixture into 1 inch balls.
Freeze balls on cookie sheet for 30 minutes. While balls are freezing milt almond bark on very low heat. Follow instructions on almond bark for correct times and etc.
I used my deep small sauce pan to milt bark and to dip my truffles, less dishes to do in the end.

I found that when dipping balls if you use a fork to pull truffle out of the milted bark it will not be as bulky on the truffle. I also used a toothpick to take off any excess chocolate while ball was still on fork after pulling it out. Then returned the chocolate covered oreo ball back onto tin foil covered cookie sheet to set.

When all done put into the fridge to set fully and to keep them fresh. They do have cream cheese and from my understanding cream cheese needs to be refrigerated at all times, I may be wrong but better safe than sorry. Just as warning, if you're anything like me, you will grab one every time you open the refrigerator. They are just that good and totally worth the time and effort to make.

If you would like more info or to try the recipes that I based off of I will link them below.
