Oreo Truffles!

Ok so Danny and I are mildly obsessed with these now. I have made them twice in the last week. I first had these at a chocolate extravaganza I went to in DC and I went on a mad search for a recipe. You have to like Oreos to like these, because they taste like an Oreo that has been dipped in milk... except richer. I think I just proved how awful I am at explaining things.

Ingredients:
1 package Oreo cookies
1 (8 oz) package Cream Cheese, softened
2 (8 oz) packages Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, melted (I used choc chips)

Directions:
Crush cookies to fine crumbs using blender, food processor, or crush up in a bag using your muscles! Place in medium bowl. Add cream cheese; mix until well blended. Roll cookie mixture into balls, about 1 inch. Dip balls in chocolate; place on wax paper-covered baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Store leftover truffles, covered, in refrigerator.

Side notes:
I heated up the cream cheese for about 45 seconds and added it a little at a time until I got a consistency that would allow the cookie crumbs to roll into a ball. I did not use the full amount of cream cheese in the recipe.

I refrigerated the oreo balls for an hour before I rolled them in chocolate so they would hold together better when I dipped them in chocolate. To dip them easier, I rolled them around in the chocolate and took them out using two forks to allow extra chocolate to drip off.

If you search for oreo truffles online, you will see tons of different ways to decorate them! (Or just look at the link I embedded) I think I might do these for Christmas neighbor gifts!
