NaNoWriMo Update!

Oreo ‘Truffles’ A.K.A. bite-sized heartache cures

Image
I’ve seen this idea floating around pintrest and last night I finally decided to try it!
Things have been crazy with school, boys, people and I was just sick of it all and craving something chocolate. So when I saw this from www.the-girl-who-ate-everything.com I rushed to the store to get the ingredients. Grocery stores 10 minutes before closing are rather strange. The 20-something cashier upon seeing the cream cheese, oreos, and bacon(for the morning) said it “sounded like his kind of Saturday night.” So, I got the ingredients and made them with my sister V. They’re not quite truffles just because they were so easy! Only 3 ingredients to deliciousness and forgetting all about life’s problems.
Oreo ‘Truffles’
Ingredients:
1 8-oz package cream cheese (I used reduced fat)
1 regular package of Oreos or oreo like cookie
1 bag Milk chocolate chips for dipping

1. Add all the oreos to your food processor and process until completely crumbled.
2. Add package of cream cheese and process until you have a big ball like so:

3. Now take bits of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place the balls on a cookie sheet.

4. Put the balls in the freezer for 45-60 minutes. Make sure you do this or many ‘saggy balls’ jokes will ensue, trust me, I know.
5. Now it’s time to melt your chocolate. I melted the chips in the microwave but you could do a double broiler instead. The microwave is just quicker.
6. Dip the cold balls in the chocolate!

7. Let the chocolate harden in the fridge then enjoy!

Delicious!
