Oreo Turkey Bites

Oreo Truffle Turkeys

*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.)

Decorating Supplies options:

*M&M’s, Yellow or Orange Candies, beak

*Candy Corns, feathers and beak

*Pecans, halved, feathers

*Candy Eyes, Wilton

Directions:

Blend in food processor Oreos until small crumbs.

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

Roll Oreo mixture into tablespoons 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 halfway into melted chocolate.

Then while the chocolate is still melted add the turkey feathers Pecans or desired candy corn etc… then place to dry/set on a piece of wax paper and add candy for the eyes and candy corn or M&M for the beak add while chocolate is still wet and then let them dry/set.

Note: I found dipping the Oreo balls in chocolate only halfway it makes it easier in decorating the turkey.

Then keep refrigerate until ready to eat. Eat truffles within a couple of days.
