Does everyone have a specific cookie, bar, cake, candy or another tasty treat that says Christmas to them? My sister and I are going to have a day of baking and we were looking for a few new recipes. We were thinking about trying this one or another truffle recipe (we have not decided quite yet).
Has anyone ever had these?
Oreo Truffles
Ingredients
- 1 package Oreos
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 2 bags chocolate chips (semi-sweet or white or both)
- ~2 Tbsp vegetable shortening (I am thinking we will use cream or high quality butter)
Directions
- Add Oreos and cream cheese to food processor. Pulse 2-3 minutes until sticky and shiny.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour to harden.
- Roll into ~1-inch balls.
- Melt chocolate chips over double boiler, stirring constantly until smooth. Add vegetable shortening if chocolate is too thick (2 Tbsp of shortening / 12 oz of chips).
- Coat Oreo balls in chocolate, place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and refrigerate until ready to serve. (For additional decoration, drizzle white chocolate over top.)
