This recipe is for a FANTASTIC dessert that appeared at the Mother of Twins club picnic on Sunday. They rivaled Kimberly’s cake balls. They were that good.
OREO TRUFFLES (the link is to Kraft foods website for recipe and picture)
1 pkg. (1 lb. 2 oz.) OREO Cookies, finely crushed, divided
1 pkg. (8 oz.) Cream Cheese, softened
2 pkg. (8 squares each) BAKER’S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, melted
Sanding Sugar (optional)
Mix 3 cups of the cookie crumbs and the cream cheese until well blended. Shape into 42 (1-inch) balls.
Dip balls in melted chocolate; place on waxed paper-covered baking sheet. Sprinkle with remaining cookie crumbs or sanding sugar.
Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. Store any leftover truffles in tightly covered container in refrigerator.
How to Easily Dip Truffles
To easily coat truffles with the melted chocolate, add truffles, in batches, to bowl of melted chocolate. Then use two forks to roll truffles in chocolate until evenly coated. Remove the truffles with forks and allow excess chocolate to drip back into bowl before placing truffles on prepared baking sheet.
Enjoy!
I have made those before and they are GREAT! 🙂 So easy. Hubby loves them and asks for them often.
I’ve had those a few times, and they are ALWAYS a huge hit. I’ve seen variations dipped in white, milk, and dark chocolate, sprinkled with nuts or sprinkles or crushed candy canes… always gorgeous and so tasty!
