When I tell you this is one of the easiest desserts I really mean it. This is a Popil family favorite, actually it's a lot of people's favorite. However, when I think of this treat, there really is only one person I think of...LIZ, my cousin, friend, college roommate, etc. who LOVES Oreos! She sorta has a problem with Oreos but we love her for it!
This recipe yields about 40 truffles but you're better off doubling the recipe since it won't take long for those 40 truffles to disappear! The Oreo balls are good on their own but even better when dipped in chocolate (my opinion, of course). Try them both ways. I used milk chocolate but dark chocolate and white chocolate would work nicely too.
I'm pretty sure Santa will leave an extra nice gift, if you're kind enough to leave him some!
1 pkg. (8 oz.) Cream Cheese, softened
1 pkg. (1 lb. 2 oz.) OREO Cookies, finely crushed
2 pkg. (8 squares each) Semi-Sweet Chocolate, melted
Crush Oreos in food processor (if you don't have a food processor a Ziploc back with a rolling pin works just as well). Mix in cream cheese. Roll into 1 inch balls. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Melt chocolate in a double boiler or microwave...roll balls in melted chocolate and let cool on wax paper. Keep refrigerated.
These were a HUGE hit at my house warming party...I even did a "golden oreo" version with white chocolate shell which everyone raved about...yum!
