Oreo Truffles

Most of you may already know the bliss that is Oreo Truffles, but I just had to share it again. It's too easy & everyone is always so impressed with these little guys. You don't have to have food processor, but it really makes the process much quicker, easier & less messy! I like my truffles with white chocolate coating on the outside, but you can do regular chocolate too if you prefer. They are fun to decorate with sprinkles for whichever occasion you are making them for. I made these for G's brother & his family at Christmas time. They were wrapped tightly in a tin and survived the mail!



One trick, I always use the same kind of almond bark- I think its called Candi Quick and it comes in a blue package. I have tried other kinds (even expired versions my mother had of the same kind!) and they did NOT give the same results. Another trick is to refrigerate/freeze the balls before you dip them in the bark. These keeps them pretty.


These don't even taste like cream cheese, they just taste like amazingness!! I hope you make these soon- they are great for crowds & can be made a few days ahead. I always keep mine in the fridge & serve cold.

How to Make Peppermint Bark (and impress your neighbors)


I found this recipe last year after I discovered the world of blogs and all the wonderful things they had to offer! I made a bunch to hand out to people at G's office as well as some friends and maybe some for myself too... :)


It's SO good. No really- its THAT good. In case you think I'm just bragging, here is one of about 10 comments I got after passing this out at work:


"So- I have to tell you...I went to a Christmas party and it was held by a professional baker. She made peppermint bark too, and yours is a million times better!"
