Oreo Truffles

As you may recall, a couple months ago I made some peanut butter pretzel truffles for my dear madre. And it was so easy it got me thinking- couldn't I basically make truffles out of anything? Like, I don't know... Oreos?

And so I did.

And they were delicious.

Why does it looks like this pic was taken with Hipstamatic?

So delicious, in fact, that I had to get them out of my house before I ate them all. So I brought them with me when I went for a nighttime stroll with my friends Paul & Pete. They each ate a few... and then I ate the rest.

Mission divest-self-of-calorie-bombs FAIL. But whatevs. Totally worth it. And we walked all the way down to 72nd street and back so I like, totally burned off all the calories... right?

Oreo Truffles

Why yes, in addition to the truffles I did in fact dip a few Oreos in the leftover chocolate.

Ingredients:

• Oreos
• Vanilla icing (premade is fine)
  
• 1/2 cup melted chocolate chips

Crumble oreos (as many as you want, depending on how many truffles you want). Mix in icing one tablespoon at a time until the mixture is the right consistency for molding. Form teaspooon-sized balls of mixture and place on wax paper. Place in refrigerator for 30 minutes. Melt chocolate chips, roll balls in chocolate, place back on wax paper and chill 30 minutes or until chocolate sets.


What else do you think would be good as a truffle? White oreos? Chocolate chip cookie dough? Peppermint patties? The possibilities are endless.
