Oreo Truffles

What have you been baking this christmas? I just ended my class potluck last Friday and i attempted to make some Oreo truffles as simple christmas gifts. So sorry about it. think they look horrible. But the taste is great. I got my recipe from kraft. Oh well, almost everywhere has similar recipe. The challenge of making Oreo truffles is the last step which you coat oreo balls with melted chocolat. This can be a little tricky and you gotta do it fast because the melted chocolate may cool easily and solidfy.




Ingredients:
35 oreo cookies
1 pkg of Cream cheese ( soft: at room temperatre)
2 bars of semi-sweet baking chocolate
9 Oreo cookies ( topping)

Steps:
1. Crush 35 Oreo cookies + 9 cookies ( topping). Either you can pop them into a food processor or put them into a zip lock n hammer them w a hard n heavy object.
2. Using hands, mix the crushed cookies n the soft cream cheese together until incorporated.
3. Roll them into 1 inch balls.
4. Melt the baking chocolate with a double boiler or a microwave.
5. Coat these chocolate balls with the melted chocolate and place them on the parchment paper ( sprayed with non-stick cooking spray or lighly greased with butter)
6. Sprinkle the remaining crushed oreo cookies or any of your favourite topping ( nuts, coloured balls etc...
7. Chill it in the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours before serving.

Tip: You can vary the oreo cookies. If you prefer your oreo truffles to have a stronger cream cheese flavour, you might want to consider cutting down a few oreo cookies. Vice versa if you are going for a lighter flavour. However, too much of Oreo cookies in your mixtre may result in your oreo truffle dough to be very flaky and you are gonna have a hard time coating them w melted chocolate.
