“Cooking” with L+L: Oreo Truffles

I am getting SO excited for my trip next week! G and I are road-tripping up the Carolina coast culminating in Richmond, VA for my bestie Leslie’s wedding!

I can’t WAIT for this union

But before Richmond, we’ll be spending 5 glorious days in Charleston with 14 of our nearest and dearest!

Hopefully we will recreate this conga line

In preparation for my trip, I thought now would be a good time to try my hand at making cake balls (darling Cari is coming to my aide tomorrow…stay tuned) and tonight…Jaimi, Stephanie and I tackled (a couple of bottles of wine and…) OREO TRUFFLES!

You guys. They are DELICIOUS and SO SO EASY!

Here’s what you need:

1 package of Oreo cookies
1 block (8oz) cream cheese
2 (8oz) packages of Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, melted

Here’s what you do:

1. Take out 9 Oreos

2. Try really hard not to eat them

3. Separate the remaining 36 Oreos and stick them in your food processor:

4. Crush them into a fine powder

5. Throw in your block of cream cheese and blend

6.   Roll into little balls (Note: it’s easier when your Oreo/cream cheese is colder, so I would occasionally stick it in the freezer for a moment or two while rolling and dipping)
7.   Dip into melted chocolate
8.   Crush up the reserved Oreos and sprinkle on top
