Merry Christmas… Oreo truffles
Our laptop has been visiting the Nerd Herd this week, so I’m just now getting to post. By way of an apology, enjoy some truffles.
My grandmother gave me this recipe, and my boys adore these truffles. I’ve already made two batches of them this year, and I’m going to make another this afternoon.
Meemaw’s Oreo Truffles
1 block cream cheese
1 package Double Stuf Oreos
1 package chocolate chips or melting chocolate
a little bit of vegetable oil
In a food processor (you can use a blender, but be careful to use the pulse feature and do small batches so as to not burn up the motor - this is thick stuff!). Then, with your mixer, blend the softened cream cheese and Oreos.
Put that in the fridge for a bit to set.
Microwave the chocolate chips with the oil (1 tsp. oil per cup of chips) until smooth. Form the Oreo mixture into balls and dip into the chocolate. Chill the dipped truffles to set the chocolate.
You can also roll them in powdered sugar. The sugar will eventually melt into the truffles and give the look of a clear glaze.
These are very rich, so make the truffles small.
