My most requested Christmastime recipe...

Even the folks at work are clamoring for it!

Oreo Cookie Truffles

1 (550g) bag Oreo cookies
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temp
2 cups milk chocolate chips

Crush the oreo cookies in a food processor, half of the bag at a time, until fine crumbs. Mix the softened cream cheese with the crushed cookies until completely mixed together with no white streaks from the cream cheese. (If you have a stand mixer, this process is painless.) Roll into half inch balls and place on a foil lined cookie sheet. Freeze (or at least refrigerate) for 30 minutes. Dip in melted chocolate. Try not to eat them all before you finish the batch...

Sometimes I alternate with coating them with white chocolate and milk chocolate, for a variety. The chocolate center does show through the white chocolate, though, so make sure you're okay with that. You can also drizzle the milk chocolate onto the white chocolate cookies, and white chocolate onto the milk chocolate cookies. It looks cool and professional that way.

Almond bark is easy to work with, but I don't think it tastes as good as the real thing. It does provide a nice crunchy outer chocolate coating, though.

Okay, now I'm hungry.
