Christmas Oreo Truffles

'Tis the season for holiday parties and for holiday cookie swaps!  Even though I eat healthily and share nutritious recipes I like to treat myself to all the best the holiday has to offer.  I've been waiting for months to make Christmas cookies, and these oreo truffles are my top favorite.  I made them for a Christmas cookie swap & they were a big hit so I thought I would share the recipe with you!  The best part is it is a no-bake recipe with simple ingredients. (who can't say no to that!)

Christmas Oreo Truffles 

Christmas Oreo Truffle Ingredients:

1 package Cream Cheese, softened

1 package of Oreo Cookies, crushed

2 packages Semi-Sweet Chocolate, for melting

Christmas Oreo Truffle Directions:

Place one package of  Oreo cookies in a zip lock bag and tap them gently with a hammer to Crush into Crumbs. 

Mix the softened Cream Cheese & 3 cups of the Oreo crumbs in an electric mixer until well blended

Note the mixture will be very gooey.

Using your hands shape them into 48 (1-inch) balls and place them on wax paper

Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in a pot on low heat stirring until melted

Dip each Oreo ball into melted chocolate then place on a wax paper-lined cookie sheet

Roll each ball in the remaining Oreo cookie crumbs and place back on the cookie sheet (lined with wax paper)

Refrigerate for 1 hour or until the chocolate is hard

Store in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator

Optional sprinkle confectioners sugar on top of the refrigerated truffles to serve

After the truffles have been refrigerated the melted chocolate will have hardened into a crunchy shell and the middle will be soft. 

Make sure you set a few aside for yourself  & indulge.  Then wrap the rest up and give them as gifts or bring them to your holiday party.
