Oreo Truffles

As a little girl, I have been in awe of how my dad can dunk and fit three Oreos in one bite.  We have been taught the proper way to eat Oreos by dunking until the last bubble rises.  I love this recipe because it reminds me that even a grown-up can be a child at heart.

one bag of Oreos
one 8 oz cream cheese
almond bark

Method

In a food processor, chop entire bag of Oreos until almost powder fine. set aside.

Cream cream cheese in mixer.

Combine Oreos with cream cheese beat until well blended.

Use your hands to roll mixture into bite-size balls.

Refrigerate.

Place 6 blocks of almond bark in microwave safe dish for 1 to 2 minutes.  Stir till smooth.

Dip one truffle at a time. Set on wax paper to harden. Decorate with colored sugars if desired.

Chocolate Bark may be used interchangeable or to decorate.

For Christmas I like to use the cool mint oreos.  For Easter I plan to make German Chocolate, again in honor of my dad.  I think the coconut is perfect for the Easter season.

For Thanksgiving we drizzled chocolate over the tops for added interest.
