Since Sabrina is in Arizona working her butt off getting used to the "fun" life of a working adult and I'm sure missing her family oh so much, I decided I would send her a little care package to hopefully brighten up her day. After having the most delicious oreo cake pop last week, I knew I had to try to make my own. Once I saw the recipe for the mint ones, I knew it was the perfect treat to make for Sabrina. They ar really easy and sooooo delicious! Unfortunatly, I couldn't find the "best" candy coating, so I had to make do with the ones from Michaels. They caused me some problems and don't look as amazing as my prefectionist self would like, but they taste so darn good, I'm hoping I'll be forgiven. ;)
Oreo Truffles
adapted from: www.bakerella.com
35 oreo cookies
1 8oz. package cream cheese (softened)
white chocolate bark
1. Crush cookies and stir in softened cream cheese. Use the back of a large spoon to help mash the two together. (I used my hands)
3. Roll the mixture into 1″ balls and place on wax paper covered cookie sheet. (Refrigerate)
4. Melt chocolate as directed on the package and then dip balls into chocolate, tap off extra and set aside on wax paper covered cookie sheet to dry. (I sprinkled mine with sprinkles)
5. Once dry, refrigerate and enjoy!
Makes about 36 truffles.
Notes: It helps to freeze the uncoated balls for a few minutes to keep the mixture from starting to fall apart in the melted chocolate. If this becomes a problem, dip them in the chocolate, let dry and then dip again. They are also good dipped in regular milk chocolate bark. And for an extra twist, use the mint oreo sandwich cookies.
Recipe amended from Kraft Food & Family Fall 2006.
*For the mint oreo truffles use 22 cookies with cream centers included and 10 cookies with cream centers discarded
