Using a small melon baller, scoop out truffles. Roll in coco, powdered sugar, crushed hazelnuts(or any nut I guess), or what ever you want.
A neat variation, roll in dried, crushed lime zest and a ouch of curry powder. Sounds odd, but it is great.
The Dessert Diva said:1 pkg any flavor oreo cookies
1 8 oz pkg cream cheese
1 tbsp vanilla flavoring (or other flavor like lemon, almond, cherry, rum, etc)
1 pkg semi sweet choc chips
soften cream cheese. place oreos into food processor, crumb. place crums in lrg ziplock bag and add cream cheese. add vanilla. squish and mix together. scrape into bowl. using scoop, scoop into balls and place on waxed paper on cookie sheets, chill overnight.
melt chocolate chips (add a Tbsp of shortening if desired). Take chilled truffle balls out of freezer 30 min prior to dipping in chocolate mixture. place back onto waxed paper and chill again. voila! truffles!!
use peanut butter oreos and add peanuts
use golden oreos and add caramel candies
use mint oreos and add candy canes (sprinkle them on the chocolate, too)
use the halloween colored oreos and add candy corn
the ideas are endless!!!
