Oreo Truffles


So I've made these a few times now, and they are delicious. Seriously, I think these things have utterly ruined plain Oreo cookies for me. I will forever be disappointed by the cookie itself, and it's all thanks to this quick (and fun) little recipe.

Oreo Truffles Recipe adapted from Bakerella.

Ingredients:
  • 1 whole package of regular Oreo cookies
  • 8oz. cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 package white chocolate or vanilla bark/candy coating
Recipe:
  1. Split the cookies and, using a butter knife, scrape the filling off. Place the cookies and filling in separate bowls.
  2. Using a food processor (or a more manual method if you're patient - I wasn't, ha) crush the cookies into a relatively fine dust.
  3. Mix together the cookie crumbs and cream cheese, using a large spoon to mash it all together. Make sure it's combined well.
  4. Using your own judgment, add filling until there are hardly any loose crumbs left. I usually used between one-quarter and one-third of the filling. You could use all of it if you wanted to though.
  5. Form the mixture into balls and place on wax paper in preparation for the next step.
  6. Melt the bark or coating as directed on the package.
  7. Using a pair of spoons, roll the balls around in the melted bark until covered, then place back on the wax paper.
  8. Let the coating harden, then refrigerate for about an hour (not necessary, but they taste better).
These guys will keep easily for a few days in the fridge (remember, there's cream cheese in there). Also, be careful who you share these with; they'll likely keep bugging you to make more!
