OREO TRUFFLES

OREO TRUFFLES

Ingredients:

1 lb. Oreo Cookies (crushed)
8 ounces of cream cheese (softened)
1 lb. Vanilla favored candy coating

Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed cookies and cream cheese to form a stiff dough. Roll into 1-inch diamter balls. Place the cookie balls on a waxed paper cookie sheet and put them in the freezer for 15 minutes. When the 15 minutes is up, melt the vanilla candy coating in the microwave. Remove the tray from the freezer. One at a time put the cookie balls on the tines of a fork and dip them until covered in the melted coating. Allow the excess coating to drip off, and put each completed truffle on a waxed paper covered cookie sheet until the coating is set.

Freezing directions:

When the candy coating is set, put the truffles in a freezer bag or rigid container. Seal, label and freezer.

Serving:

Thaw truffles for a few minutes on the counter, and serve. Keep any leftovers in the refrigerator.
