Heavenly

Because I am seriously craving some chocolate.....I thought I would daydream about my absolute favorite chocolate indulgent. 


Oreo Truffles







Have you made them? Have you tried them? If you have, then you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, then I feel so sorry for you :) You are missing out! 


Here is the recipe:


Oreo Truffles

**I would suggest using a food processor to mix the oreo crumbs with the (room temp) cream cheese. You will know when the contents have combined because it will turn into one big ball of  dark "dough". 


**Also, after I made the balls, I put them on sheet pans and put the pans in my freezer. I have a large bottom drawer freezer, so I understand that not everyone can do that. It is much easier to coat the frozen oreo balls in warm chocolate than trying to coat room temperature oreo balls. (They fall apart)


**When working with bakers chocolate, you have to be careful. The chocolate dries fast. So this is what I did:  I put a bot of water on the stove and heated the water until boiling. I melted the chocolate in a pyrex bowl in the microwave. Then I set the bowl of melted chocolate in the pan of boiling water. That way the chocolate stayed nice and warm (and melted) as I dipped the oreo balls in. 


Please go make these NOW! They are amazing and cheap!  (Well cheap unless you don't have a food processor, and want one for this recipe:) )


Happy eating!
