Oreo Truffles

I'm a chocoholic. That's a fact. Anyone that knows me can testify of that. So, when it comes to desserts and chocolate, I can't keep my hands off. I love Oreo Truffles. They're super easy to make, and addicting beyond all get out. Because of this fact, I'm placing a warning out along with this recipe.

Warning: Do NOT make this recipe if you are alone or have the munchies. You WILL eat them all in one sitting. Does also cause a side of happiness and sweet tooth satisfaction. :)

Oreo Truffles

1 pkg. (or 36) Oreos  $ 3.00
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese  $2.00
1 bag (12-16 oz.) chocolate chips  $2.50

Soften cream cheese. Crush cookies into a fine powder. Mix together cream cheese and crushed cookies until it is a smooth dough. Form dough into 1 inch balls and place onto wax paper. Put balls into freezer for about 10 minutes. Remove from freezer. Melt chocolate chips in microwave or in a double boiler. Dip balls into chocolate, place back on wax paper. Refrigerate for about an hour.

Total Estimated Cost: $7.50
Servings: 36 truffles (approximately)
Total Cost Per Serving: $.21

Tips: If you have a food processor, just crush your cookies in there. Once it's a fine powder, add your cream cheese and mix it. The food processor will do most of the work for you! To help form balls, try using a cookie dough scoop.

Ideas: For mint truffles, try mint Oreos and mint chocolate chips or white chocolate chips. Try out a summer flavor of truffles by doing the lemonade or sherbet flavored Oreos with white chocolate. Eat these while they're cold, and you'll be in heaven!
