Mint Oreo Truffles

We all know I am about healthy meals but sometimes we need to have a special treat. Last year I had my very first Oreo Truffle and I was absolutely shocked at how amazing these were. I actually thought I was eating a store bought bakery made truffle. Nope, oreo, cream cheese and chocolate. It doesn't get much easier than that. I made these for my sisters Christmas party this past weekend and they were a big hit with multiple requests for the recipe. Note - I like mint so I used mint oreos, but you can use regular or any other flavor as well (I'm already thinking about regular with a scoop of PB added...I have just been told to not use double stuffed)



Mint Oreo Truffles: Makes approx 40.

1 container Mint Oreos (not double stuffed) - 15.25oz
8oz Cream Cheese (I used 1/3 less fat)
12oz White Chocolate Chips (can use dark or milk if you prefer)

In a food processor or blender beat the Oreos until they are super fine crumbles - no big chunks! Add the cream cheese and beat that into the oreos until it is completely incorporated. Place in the fridge for 20-30 minutes to firm up. Scoop the mix into approximately 1/2" balls (mine were more like 1" and were a lot to have at once). Place back in the fridge or even the freezer for 10 min or so.

Place your chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals stirring after each 30 seconds. In approximately 1.5-2.5 minutes your chocolate will be completely melted - DO NOT over cook!!! It will re-harden and never go back to that nice liquid chocolate state.

Now you want to dunk your truffle into the chocolate, roll it around to cover it and gently pick it up with a fork, and let the excess chocolate drip off, then place on a piece of wax paper to harden. Repeat with the remaining balls and when done and harden move to a covered container and keep refrigerated.

Serve and Enjoy!!
