**Easy Oreo Truffles**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 package (14.3 oz) of Oreo cookies
– 1 package (8 oz) of cream cheese, softened
– 12 oz of semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
– 1 tsp of vanilla extract
– Optional toppings: crushed nuts, sprinkles, cocoa powder
**Instructions:**
1. **Prepare the Oreo Mixture:** Start by crushing the Oreo cookies in a food processor until they turn into fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, you can also place the cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Transfer the crushed cookies to a mixing bowl.
2. **Add the Cream Cheese:** Add the softened cream cheese and the vanilla extract to the bowl with the crushed Oreos. Using a spatula or mixer, combine the ingredients until well mixed and a smooth dough-like consistency is formed.
3. **Shape the Truffles:** Scoop out small portions of the Oreo mixture and roll them into 1-inch sized balls. You can use a cookie scoop or your hands to form the truffle balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
4. **Prepare the Chocolate Coating:** In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chopped semi-sweet chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate using a double boiler.
5. **Coat the Truffles:** Once the truffle balls are firm, use a fork to dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is evenly coated. Shake off any excess chocolate and place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. **Add Toppings:** While the chocolate coating is still wet, you can sprinkle crushed nuts, sprinkles, or cocoa powder on top of the truffles for decoration and added flavor.
7. **Chill and Serve:** Once all the truffles are coated and decorated, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to set completely. This should take about 15-20 minutes. Once set, transfer the truffles to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
