Oreo Truffles (5 year old version)

Well! These are very nice and easy to make, if you love chocolate they are an absolute dream. If you are only partial they are very nice but should be eaten in moderation. As the preceding image shows Sam's appear perfect. Mine however, look like the kid who struggles in food (who by the way was usually me haha) So at least I have delivered consistently. I have never had a nack for deserts! These are easy to make, a little rich for me but nice non the less. Cook if you love chocolate :)

Oreo Truffles

In lieu of buying boxed chocolates this Valentine's, we opted to make Oreo Truffles, affectionately Oreo Balls. I had dinner at the Veldkamps' this weekend, and Mrs. Veldkamp made a delicious, simple dessert that I knew I had to make this weekend. This dessert is very rich and smooth. Store in refrigerator (as they have cream cheese in them).


Ingredients:

• 1 pkg. Oreos (or 3 sleeves), crushed
• 8 oz. brick cream cheese
• 12 oz. chocolate chips
• 2 T. shortening
• sprinkles, if desired

Directions:

1. Crush Oreos, add cream cheese and smush together. ( I used a rolling pin to crush the Oreos, a food processor works too)
2. Roll into small balls and let set in refrigerator until hard.
3. Melt chocolate and shortening.
4. Dip Oreo balls in chocolate, add sprinkles, and let set.
