OREO TRUFFLES
1 pkg Oreos (1 lb 2oz)
1 8 oz block Cream Cheese
Meltable white chocolate wafers (from a Michael's or A.C. Moore craft-type store)
Blend Oreos to dust in blender, 7-8 at a time works best.
Cut cream cheese into 8 blocks.
Mix Oreo dust and cream cheese (KitchenAid mixer or similar works best) until a firm pasty dough-like consistency.
Roll into dime-sized balls (hands will get messy!) and place on wax paper on cookie trays. The mixture should make around 120-140 balls, depending on size.
Chill balls in fridge for 2-3 hours.
I melt the white chocolate wafers in microwave per directions on bag in a small coffee cup. I stab a ball with a toothpick and dip into melted white chocolate to coat and place back on wax paper. Once finished coating chill in fridge again and keep chilled until serving. I remove all the toothpicks before serving.
NOTE - There are probably more efficient ways to coat the balls with the white chocolate, that's just my method above. I have to add wafers and melt periodically throughout the coating process. If the balls start to come off the toothpicks while dipping, chill them again. I usually have 3 cookie trays going so 2 can stay chilled while I'm dipping the 1. I use red and green vanilla flavored chocolate for the holidays.
