From Our Recipe Box to Yours....Christmas Goodies!

     Christmas is fast approaching and I don't know about you, but I am a bit behind. There are sooo many candy recipes I'd like to try, but not enough time in the month!:) Here's one that is super easy and super yummy; a great addition to your traditional treats! I found the recipe here: http://momsneedtoknow.com/oreo-truffles-recipe/

Oreo Truffles

1 - 15 oz. pkg. Oreos (chocolate sandwich cookies of your choice)

1- 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened

1 pkg. white chocolate chips or candy melts (you can also use dark chocolate chips - I like using both!)

Directions:

1. Finely crush the Oreos. This can easily be done in your food processor. Otherwise, you can place the cookies in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin.

2. Reserve about 1 1/2 T. crushed cookies. You will use these later for garnish.

3. Mix cream cheese together with the Oreos. Mix until completely combined.

4. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Shape the cookie mixture into about 40 balls and place on lined cookie sheet.

5. Place cookie sheet in the refrigerator for about an hour, or the freezer for 20 minutes. This will help make the cookie balls firm which will make it easier to coat them.

6. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until melted.

7. Working quickly coat cookie balls with white chocolate. Use 2 forks to help ensure they get coated well.

8. Place coated Oreo Truffles back on the parchment paper and sprinkle with reserved crushed cookie crumbs.

9. Return truffles to the refrigerator for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to completely firm up. 

If you happen to have any left at all, store in an airtight container!!! Enjoy!!!
