Easy Oreo Truffles! (see below for recipe)
Hubby and I have BIG plans tonight! šÆ
I canāt even begin to tell you how excited I amā¦
Itās gonna be a roarinā good time, oh yes it is.
Tonight, we are ripping up the kitchen floorā¦
Yes, can you tell just.how.excited.I.am??? (Hopefully my major sarcasm is translating easily to you all right nowā¦) š
So while I may not be excited about the labor ahead of me tonight, I definitely AM excited to be one step closer. Weāre getting there!
Hereās the view of our new door we put in from last week.
Looks a little different, wouldnāt you say?
So, most of todayās eats werenāt all that excitingā¦
(Exhibit A ā a whole wheat Arnoldās Sandwich Thin with PB & banana)
(Exhibit B)
In case youāre wondering, thatās a 1/2 of a container of V8 Golden Butternut Squash Soup + leftover roasted zucchini; I took the picture before I heated it up, hence the unappealing, chunkiness. I must say, Iām really a fan of this soup! Iāve had it before, and itās quite good.
I did say āmostā were unexcitingā¦not all. Enter, Exhibit C. š
So since I donāt have much left to offer on the meals front, I figured it would only be fair to share a recipe tonight!
During my first Christmas Cookie Baking extravaganza this year, my mom and I were sure to whip up another family favorite:
Oreo Truffles
These truffles taste so incredibly decadent, people hardly believe when I tell them that thereās only 3 ingredients! šÆ I donāt think Iāve ever brought these anywhere where they werenāt a hit!
Start by chopping up an entire package of Oreos. After dividing the Oreos, simply mix one part of them with a block of cream cheese.
It will take a little while to get everything totally incorporated, but donāt sweat it. Think of it as a mini-workoutā¦or as an excuse for that extra piece you just snagged out of the bowl. š
Roll your mixture into balls and allow to chill in fridge for about one hour.
Once the balls are chilled, melt your chocolate and start dippinā!
Right after the balls are dipped into the chocolate comes the fun part:
Itās time to roll them in MORE Oreos!
And after giving them a little more time to chill and the chocolate to harden, youāve got yourself a big āol batch of decadent, delicious Oreo Truffles.
While Iāve only ever tried using regular Oreos, Iād be rather interested to see someone try experimenting with the other flavors that are availableā¦
Mint Oreo Truffles??
Strawberry Milkshake Oreos??
Have fun with this oneā¦theyāre pretty stinkinā amazing! š
Oreo Truffles
Ingredients:
- 1- 8 oz. block cream cheese (I use 1/3 less fat)
- 1 package Oreos, finely crushed
- 2 pkg. (8 squares each) semi-sweet chocolate, melted**
Directions:
Crush 13 Oreo cookies from package and set aside.
Crush remaining Oreo cookies and mix with cream cheese until well blended.
Shape into approx. 48 (1-inch) balls. Chill for 1/2 ā 1 hour.
Dip balls in melted chocolate; place on waxed paper-covered baking sheet. Roll in reserved cookie crumbs.
Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. Store in tightly covered container in refrigerator. ENJOY! š
**I melt my chocolate on the stovetop, using a double boiler. I find it works easiest this way and the chocolate remains easy to work with.
