Oreo Truffles


The word truffle sounds expensive.  Truffle oil or truffle chocolate, either way it is going to cost you.  Here is a recipe for fun and delicious truffles made with 4 ingredients.  Not just 4 ingredients, but 4 inexpensive ingredients.  You can decorate them up with fun sprinkles or use white chocolate for contrast.  Perfect for a little gift bag or just perfect for your fridge.

What You Need
1 (1lb 2oz.) pkg Oreos
8oz. cream cheese, softened
Chocolate-Flavored Almond Bark
*1/2 tsp. vanilla (optional- may add other extracts to enhance flavor)
*Crisco if needed (to thin almond bark once melted)

What to do 
- Crush Oreos using a food proccessor, or even by putting them in a plastic bag and using a rolling pin. 
- Add softened cream cheese and vanilla (if desired) and mix until smooth.
- Make small balls out of the mixture
- Chill mixture in fridge or freezer until firm.
- In microwave-safe bowl, melt the almond bark. If you want a slightly thinner coat of chocolate on each ball, add about a teaspoon of shortening (non-flavored).

- Drop Oreo balls into melted almond bark. Make sure to coat the entire surface then use a spoon to place on wax paper or aluminum. Let almond bark harden (you can use the fridge to speed this process up). ENJOY!
