Oreo Cheesecake Balls

This recipe is so simple it is embarrassing, but they are very, very good. You would never know how simple they are from the taste.

Oreo Cheesecake Balls

My notes: I use 1.5 pkg cream cheese to 1 pkg cookies. Have used different cookies. Destiny loves peanut butter (Nutter Butters).

Oreo Cheesecake Balls (aka easy truffles)

1 pkg. Oreo cookies
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
2 pkg. (8 oz. each) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, melted (or use candy melts)

Crush cookies in food processor (cookies can also be finely crushed in a resealable plastic bag using a rolling pin.) Place cookie crumbs in bowl. Add cream cheese; mix until well blended. Roll cookie mixture balls about 1-inch in diameter. Refrigerate balls briefly.

Dip balls in melted chocolate and place on wax paper-covered baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle with candy sprinkles before the chocolate sets, then refrigerate. Can also drizzle with complementary color/flavor of chocolate after first layer has set.

Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Store leftover truffles, covered, in refrigerator.
