Oreo Truffles: Tutorial

{ O R E O    T R U F F L E S }

 

A coworker of mine metioned that I should make some truffles for Evelyn's 2nd Birthday.

She gave me this ultra easy recipe and says they are a huge hit.

They require only a few ingredients.

{ I N G R E D I E N T S }

:: bag of oreo's ::

:: 1 stick of cream cheese ::

:: chocolate (I used white) ::
:: shortening (optional) ::
:: food coloring (optional) ::
:: sprinkles (optional) ::

I made these treats today, one day before the party.

{ S T E P S }

{1} Crumble up all the oreo cookies (very fine) use a food processor if you have one {2} Mix room temp-ish cream cheese with the oreo crumbles (by hand) {3} Roll the mixture into small 1-1.5 in. diameter balls {4} Melt 12 oz of chocolate and 1 tbs of shortening in the microwave (make sure not to burn and stir often!) Total time for me was around 1:30 minutes. {5} Add food coloring to the chocolate. {6} Dip the truffle balls in the chocolate {7} Lay on a baking sheet covered with wax paper, add sprinkles and stick in the freezer/refrigerator to solidify {8} Remove after an hour or until they are hard and place in an air tight container.

How simple is that?

They look so adorable and they are amazingly delicious.

In addition to the truffles I made some chocolate covered pretzels.

Next week starting on Monday I will have a week full of {free} Sweet Shoppe Party printables! If you are hosting a little girls birthday or even a bridal shower and need some ideas check back next week.
