Mint Oreo Truffles
Author: Sugar n' Spice Gals
Ingredients
- 1 package mint Oreos
- 8 oz softened cream cheese
- 11 oz package of White Chocolate Chips and 11 oz Milk or Dark Chocolate Chips
- (can also use bakers chocolate bars
Instructions
- Finely crush 2½ sleeves of Mint Oreos ( using a food proccessor would be the easiset method, but I just crush them with a metal whisk and fork or put them in a big ziplock bag and use a can or something else hard to crush them)
- Put the cream cheese in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds to soften it up a bit
- Add crushed oreos and mix thoroughly with an electic mixer
- Let dough sit in fridge for about an hour to firm up so that it will be easier to mold into balls
- Form dough into about 20-25 balls depending on how big you want them
- Place Oreo balls on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper.
- Cover with plastic wrap and place cookie sheet in freezer for about an hour
- Pour half of white Chocolate chips in a bowl and microwave for 30 seconds, then stir and microwave for another 30 seconds, and stir again
- Keep microwaving at 10 sec intervals (stirring in between) until chocolate chips are completely melted
- Dip Oreo balls one by one in melted white chocolate, and roll it with a spoon so that it is completely covered all the way around
- Then place back on wax paper
- If there are sill some small spots showing you can spoon some more chocolate over the top to cover exposed areas
- Dip half of the cake balls in white chocolate and then decorate how you want\
- (You can crumble up remaining oreos and sprinkle on top, use sprinkles, or melt some milk chocolate and drizzle on top)
- Then go through the same proccess with the dark/milk chocolate with remaining cake balls
- Allow to cool in refrigerator so chocolate sets
Notes
Freezing the cake balls first helps the cak balls stay firm while dipping in the hot chocolate. If you do not freeze them first they will start to mix with the chocolate and the chocolate will turn into a big mess...Trust me!
If you are drizzling chocolate on top of the cake balls and it is to thick (not runny enough for drizzling) add about a ½ to 1 teaspoon of oil and stir...this will make it creamier and better for drizzling
If you are going to decorate with sprinkles or crushed Oreo make sure to put them on when the chocolate is still warm and has not set so that the toppings will stick to the cake ball. If you wait till the chocolate has already set, it will be very hard to get anything to stay on top of the Oreo balls
