Recipe: Red Velvet Oreo Truffles

This is another recipe that I found in my local news paper that was being advertised for Valentine's Day.  I've made Oreo truffles before, here, but this recipe was a little bit different.  It uses less cream cheese.  But they're still really tasty, and simple to make.  Below I have the recipe that was in the newspaper, but I used an extra oz of cream cheese, and I had to used 2 extra oz of the white chocolate.  

Ingredients:

18 Red Velvet Oreo Cookies

3 oz Philadelphia Cream Cheese 

6 oz Baker's White Chocolate 

2 oz Baker's Semi-Sweet Chocolate 

Directions:

Crush up the red velvet Oreo's with the cream cheese.  It's easiest to use the back of a spoon. 

Next roll the Oreo cream cheese mix into 20 1 in balls, and place on a cookie sheet covered with wax paper. Then put them into the freezer for 10 minutes.  

While the balls are in the freezer, melt the white chocolate in the microwave.  

Take the balls out of the freezer.  Roll one ball at a time in the white chocolate mix and place back onto the baking sheet. 

When the white chocolate has firmed up, melt the 2 oz of semi-sweet chocolate, place in a plastic bag, cut the corner of the bag, and then drizzle the chocolate all over the balls.  

Keep in the fridge until ready to eat. 

Enjoy!

Recipe: Oreo Truffles:

So, just a short story, I’ve been having sleeping issues, so I asked my mom to get me a package of Oreos  while she was out, so she did so, but she wasn’t clear on why I was asking for Oreos, and she only got me a small sleeve.  This sleeve included only 13 cookies (why 13, I don’t know) and so I just looked at a different set of Oreos and saw that there were 24 in a pack, so I just used 12 cookies and half of the cream cheese.  Also, I forgot to take a before everything was opened pic, so the cookies are already a little smashed.  Soz.

The full recipe down below, should make 36 truffles. 

Ingredients:

1 package of Oreos

1 8oz package of Cream Cheese 

melting chocolate

Directions:

Set out seven cookies and crumble them using a Ziploc bag or a food processor (optional.)

Crush the remaining cookies.

Add in the cream cheese and blend with the back of a large spoon.

Place the cookies on a cookie sheet on wax paper.

Melt the chocolate according to the instructions provided. 

While melting the chocolate, chill the cookies.

Roll the balls in the chocolate, then place back onto the wax paper cookie sheet. 

Let the chocolate harden.  (I put them back into the freezer.)

Enjoy!
