Mint Oreo Truffles!

So the leprachaun's brought us truffles on St. Patrick's Day, and the nice little guy happened to leave me the recipe!!! ;) So these were sooo yummy and were made with mint oreos, but they would be great on any occasion and with plain oreo's too!

Mint Oreo Truffles

1 pkg. Double Stuf Oreos – Cool Mint Flavor – (1 lb. , 1 oz. pkg.)

• use 22 cookies with cream centers included
• use 10 cookies with cream centers discarded

1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, room temperature (Yes, non fat works!)
chocolate bark or candy coating*

Finely crush the cookies in a blender, food processor or a ziploc bag with a rolling pin. Stir in softened cream cheese. Use the back of a large spoon to help mash the two together completely. Roll the mixture into 1″ balls and place on wax paper covered cookie sheet. Place covered in freezer for a few minutes to help keep their shape when dipping in the chocolate. 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. Refrigerate and enjoy!!

*If you want to make them pretty colors, use the chocolate that is already colored or a cream food coloring to color it... if you add liquid coloring it makes the chocolate all funky and gritty... hence why mine didn't turn out too great :)
