Oreo Truffles

So here is what I spent two whole evenings making for the Halloween Party we went to. They are Oreo Truffles and they are AMAZING. Chris said "I didn't now you could make an oreo anymore fattening." Well, I love a challenge! :) The first batch took a looong time to make. If you are going to make them here is what I suggest: 1. Don't use a whole brick of cream cheese. You don't need that much. 5 or 6 ounces should be just fine. 2. Put your cream cheese in a big bowl and microwave for about 35 seconds. 3. Throw whole oreo's into a blender, 8 at a time. Pour crumbs into bowl with cream cheese and mix together. 4. Repeat, combining again after each batch of 8 oreo's. It is so much faster than trying to do it all at once. Be.Lie.Ve me. 5. If you have a ice cream scooper that is perfectly round (think of the steel kind from pampered chef that have the handle that plops them out.) USE IT. 6. Candy coating: microwave a lot in a 'tumbler' size cup. Also, The Pioneer Woman gives a good little tut for the cake balls that you can apply when doing the candy coating. 7. See the brown ones in the picture? I didn't fully candy coat those. Bad Idea. They taste so much better with the candy coating, because you get two different flavors. They are delicious. I have probably had 20 or so since thursday night when I started the first batch. Here are some more pictures.
