Oreo Truffles, For Two

Oreo Truffles, For Two

Makes 4 truffles.

If you're at all familiar with what's "in" these days in the cooking and baking world, you are probably already very familiar with Oreo Truffles. In an attempt to offer up a new variation of an already famous recipe, I have created a small-batch version. When you're cooking for two, you don't need dozens of truffles around the house. One of two things might happen: 1) You will OD and end up wasting the rest or 2) you will become fat and resent making the truffles in the first place. So, save time, money, and your waistline and make just. enough.

6 Oreo cookies (1.8 oz. snack pack)

1 oz. cream cheese, softened

2 oz. chocolate (2 squares Baker's chocolate), melted

Using a food processor, finely crush Oreo cookies. (You can also crush these in a plastic bag, which will result in a "chunkier" consistency, but won't affect them greatly in the end. I use both methods, depending on preference and time constraints. And when you're crushing 4 cookies, it can be hard to muster the strength to get out the food processor...)

Anywho..

Blend cookie crumbs with cream cheese. Form into 4 balls. Place on a plate lined with wax paper and refrigerate for a few hours.

Melt chocolate in microwave (or double boiler) and fully coat cookie balls. Return to wax-lined plate. Drizzle additional chocolate, if desired.

Refrigerate for another few hours.
