MIY-Oreo Truffles

Today, I tried an Oreo Truffle. You want to know where you can get one? Well, this is an MIY or a "Make It Yourself!!!!!" Yes, that's right! I'll occasionally give recipes so that tou can make truffles yourself! These don't particularly have the creamy ganache Godiva center, but they're fun and easy and great for parties!
See instructions below the review and the pictures!

Anyways, even though I made it, I still need to review it! It had a very original cakey-taste. It tasted SO much like oreo it was awesome! You could hardly tell that there was cream cheese in it! It had a very cake texture inside, not like Godiva's smooth creamy texture, but so original. You probably wouldn't think "truffle" if you came across it unknowingly. I only had the two in the pictures, and it has a sort of deliciously sickening, like it's TOO sweet which is a near impossible task to manage. I wouldn't have that many at a time. But it's perfect for party desserts, a quick snack to pop into your mouth! 8.25/10!!
Two of the truffles. I mixed and matched white chocolate and milk chocolate!

This is the one that I made especially for me! It had way more chocolate on the top than I usually put on.

The delicious chocolateee insideee(: 

How to Make Your Own Oreo Truffles (instructions that I followed from Bakerella.com. Supposed to make about 36 truffles, but it made like 50 for me)


Ingredients
package oreo cookies (divided… use cookie including the cream center)
1 8oz. package cream cheese (softened)
white chocolate bark


Instructions
1. Finely crush 7 cookies in a food processor or place them in a ziploc bag and crush into a fine consistency. Reserve for later.


2. Crush remaining cookies and stir in softened cream cheese. Use the back of a large spoon to help mash the two together.


3. Roll the mixture into 1″ balls and place on wax paper covered cookie sheet.


4. Melt chocolate as directed on the package and then dip balls into chocolate, tap off extra and set aside on wax paper covered cookie sheet to dry. You can sprinkle the tops with the 7 crushed cookies for decoration. (I usually eat mine before they make it to this stage.)


5. Once dry, refrigerate and enjoy!


Notes: I used a small cookie cutter to push the mixture through for the heart shaped truffles. Also, it helps to freeze the uncoated balls for a few minutes to keep the mixture from starting to fall apart in the melted chocolate. If this becomes a problem, dip them in the chocolate, let dry and then dip again. They are also good dipped in regular milk chocolate bark. And for an extra twist, use the mint oreo sandwich cookies.
