Oreo Truffles

This recipe was printed in my local newspaper in a weekly column by Kim Warmath. Kim does a family column, and she always includes a recipe. When I saw it I instantly knew it would be good, because this recipe contains one of the two things that I have learned a person can always count on in life. Those two things are:
1. Bacon
2. Cream Cheese
I've never been let down by either; they both always come through.



Oreo Truffles
1 (16.6 ounce) package Oreo cookies, finely ground
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 (24 ounce) package Almond Bark candy coating

Place the cookies in the bowl of a food processor. Process until finely ground. Add the cream cheese and process until cookies and cream cheese are blended. Place mixture in refrigerator for 1 hour to chill.
Take the dough out of the refrigerator and form into small balls. Place the balls back into the refrigerator.
Melt the Almond Bark in a double boiler. Dip the balls in the melted Almond Bark and place on wax paper until firm.

The ingredients are simple, packaged items.


Use a food processor to grind up the Oreos.

I had to grind mine up in two batches because my food processor is so small. Note to self: Shop for a larger food processor.

Add the cream cheese to the ground cookies.

Process until a dough is formed.

Refrigerate dough for 1 hour.

Make the dough into small balls.


Place the balls in the refrigerator. Melt the Almond Bark in a double boiler or the microwave oven according to the directions on the package.

Dip the balls in the melted Almond Bark. I like to use this long fork to dip them.

Place dipped balls on wax paper until firm.

These are such a yummy little treat!
