Tasty Thursday!

I'm watching "Shedding for the Wedding" as I type this and I almost feel guilty for always posting dessert! But hey, sometimes you just need to indulge in some chocolate here & there.

My grandma makes these oreo truffles every year for Christmas and I'm obsessed with them! I've always associated them as a holiday thing, but I think they'd make a cute idea for any occasion.
(I also found a recipe where someone swapped out the oreos for nutter butters!)



Makes 42 truffles!


Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package OREO Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, divided
  • 1 (8 ounce) package PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, melted

Directions

  1. Crush 9 of the cookies to fine crumbs in food processor; reserve for later use. (Cookies can also be finely crushed in a resealable plastic bag using a rolling pin.) Crush remaining 36 cookies to fine crumbs; place in medium bowl. Add cream cheese; mix until well blended. Roll cookie mixture into 42 balls, about 1-inch in diameter.
  2. Dip balls in chocolate; place on wax paper-covered baking sheet. (Any leftover chocolate can be stored at room temperature for another use.) Sprinkle with reserved cookie crumbs.
  3. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Store leftover truffles, covered, in refrigerator.
