This is a great sweet treat for your Valentine! We've made these for various "Big Red" events, and they're always eaten. (recipe from allrecipes.com)
Easy Oreo Truffles
Ingredients;
1 (16oz) package OREO cookies, divided
1 (8oz) package Cream Cheese, softened
2 (8oz) packages Baker's Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, melted
Directions;
1. Crush 9 of the cookies to fine crumbs in food processor; reserve for later use. (Cookies can also be finely crushed in a resealable plastic bag, using a rolling pin.) Crush remaining cookies to fine crumbs; place in medium bowl. Add cream cheese; mix until well blended. Roll cookie mixture into 42 balls, about 1-inch in diameter.
2. Dip balls in chocolate; place on wax paper-covered baking sheet. (any left over chocolate can be stored at room temperature for another use.) Sprinkle with reserved cookie crumbs.
3. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Store leftover truffles, covered, in refrigerator.
Tips;
*How to easily dip truffles - Place truffle ball in melted chocolate to coat; roll if necessary. Lift truffle from chocolate using two forks (this will allow excess chocolate to run off) before placing on wax paper.
*Variation - Instead of coating in Baker's chocolate, use white almond bark, mix with food coloring, to make your truffles red and pink for Valentine's Day! (Sprinkles are also a fun touch.)
