Oreo Truffles

Oreo Truffles

*4 to 8 ounces Cream Cheese, use just enough to keep together in a ball
*Family Size bag of Oreo Cookies, Oreo centers removed and discard
*dash of salt
*1 to 2 cups of dark or milk Ghirardelli chocolate chips (Add 1 tablespoon shortening to 1 cup of chocolate chips, melt in the microwave in glass cup with shortening in 30 second increments until melted.)

Blend in food processor Oreos until small crumbs.

In a stand mixer cream together the cream cheese and Oreo crumbs until all the cream cheese is well combined into the crumbs and cream cheese is no longer visible.

Roll Oreo mixture into teaspoon sized balls, place them onto wax paper and refrigerate for 2 hours then remove a few at a time from the fridge to dip into melted chocolate, dipping each ball individually into the melted chocolate and let dry/set on a piece of wax paper, drizzle with melted chocolate, let dry/set. Then refrigerate until ready to eat. Eat truffles within a couple of days. Great for gift for Valentines, Christmas or after dinner treat.

Note: Refrigerate truffles as soon as the chocolate is set to prevent sinking.
