These were really simple to make and I have lots of ideas on what else to do with them! The cream cheese and cookies mixed together makes for a very soft, truffle-like consistency.
Ingredients:
1 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
1 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
1 16.6 oz package Oreo cookies, crushed
Almond bark in the desired flavor (vanilla or chocolate, or both!)
Directions:
Shape into 1 inch balls - your hands will get messy, but these were quite easy to mold. I stuffed a little white chocolate in the middle as well (by melting white chocolate chips until soft and spooning some into the truffle before rolling into a ball).
Crush cookies (you can either do this with a food processor, or by placing in a ziplock back and by hand/rolling pin!)
Reserve about 1/2 a cup of the crushed cookies for garnishing. Mix the softened cream cheese and rest of cookie crumbs until well blended.

Once you have molded all of the balls, melt the almond bark in a microwave safe bowl according to package directions. Using a fork, dip each ball in melted chocolate and place on wax paper to dry. Sprinkle with remaining cookie crumbs. Refrigerate for about an hour, or until firm.
Tips: There are a lot of ways you could decorate or fill these - sprinkles or crushed nuts on top, peanut butter in the middle, using a different type of cookie for the filling. It's a very versatile recipe so get creative!
Mmmm! These look delicious! I love oreos and cream cheese so I bet these are heavnely :-)
