I don't even know where this recipe came from. But our kids and family have adopted it as ours...we make hundreds of them every year. Everyone raves over them when they eat them and then they want the recipe...we'll here it is! Enjoy this season!!!

Oreo Truffles
Makes about 30 large truffles, 60 small ones

1 package Oreo cookies (divided… use entire cookie including the cream center)
1 8oz. package cream cheese (softened) (I use only 3/4 of the package for a more firm texture)
1 package chocolate bark (milk chocolate or white chocolate)
White chocolate chips

1. Finely crush cookies in a food processor, blender, or place them in a ziploc bag and crush into a fine consistency.

2. Stir in softened cream cheese. Use the back of a large spoon or a rubber spatula to help mash the two together.

3. Roll the mixture into 1″" balls and place on wax paper covered cookie sheet.

4. Melt chocolate as directed on the package and then dip balls into chocolate, tap off extra and set aside on wax paper covered cookie sheet to dry. Before they dry, decorate with anything else your heart desires (I do decorating after the chocolate is set). Place the truffles in the fridge or freezer for 5 minutes.

5. Once dry, melt some white chocolate chips and put in a zip lock bag. Decorate the outside of the truffle with squiggle lines or something cute.

6. And last....enjoy!!!!!!!! Watch them disappear and everyone RAVE over them!
