Oreo Truffles




Mint Oreo Truffles
1 (16 ounce) package OREO's
1 (8 ounce) package Cream Cheese, softened
1 large box (Movie theater size) Jr. Mints, or a small bag of Peppermint patties
2 (8 ounce) packages BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, melted OR Almond Bark.. ****Either White or Chocolate will do. Even better do a mix of both, dip in chocolate first then drizzle the White Almond bark for a beautiful truffle.

Directions:
1. Crush cookies in blender to fine crumbs; place in medium bowl. Add cream cheese; Mint candy and mix until well blended. Roll cookie mixture into 42 balls, about 1-inch in diameter.
2. Refrigerate until firm.
3. Dip balls in chocolate; place on wax paper-covered baking sheet. (Any leftover chocolate can be stored at room temperature for another use.)
4. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Store leftover truffles, covered, in refrigerator.

*****If you really like Mintier chocolate like I do, add a few drops of Peppermint (NOT mistaken by the disgusting MINT extract, unless you want them to taste like you put toothpaste in them.) Only use PEPPERMINT extract.


To make a the box follow this link to You Tube... this was the easiest instructions I could find.
