Oreo Truffles

These little truffles are so decadent, and they are a perfect holiday treat! They do take a little bit of time, but they are pretty easy (except when you try to grab your hot burner with your bare hand and give yourself a second degree burn, but that is a different story).

1 package oreos
14 oz. condensed milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Almond bark or melting chocolate



First, crush the oreos in a ziploc bag or a food processor. Then, add the condensed milk and mix together. Form into small balls (a cookie scoop is a great way to do this) and place in the freezer to set for about half an hour. In the meantime, prepare your melting chocolates according to the package instructions in the microwave or double boiler. Then, dip the balls in chocolate (I used toothpicks to hold the balls in the chocolate) and allow to cool on parchment or mini candy cups. Decorate with a white chocolate drizzle or sprinkles, if desired.



I got about 30 or so truffles out of the recipe, but I made them bigger than I would have liked. They were so large that you could barely eat a whole one because they were so rich. They also were a little too large for the mini muffin wrappers I was using. I will definitely be making these again, just with a smaller scooper!
