Oreo Truffle Recipe Anyone?

[mrs. mac]

DS made these from a recipe I clipped from a magazine several years ago for his teachers and they loved them. He has asked to make them again and I've lost the clipping. It had crushed Oreo cookies, cream cheese and a few other ingredients. Can anyone provide this recipe? :confused3 :confused3

thanks!!

I got the recipe off of the organizedchristmas.com website and they are great!
They only contained an 8 oz brick of cream cheese and a standard bag of oreo cookies crushed. Mix them well and roll the chilled mixture into balls and dip into chocolate.
You can use the mint oreos or flavour with liquers if you like.
They are yummy!

They sound great! Can I ask how many oreos are in a "standard" pack?

Hiya Queenie
I'm not sure about sizing in the UK but here in Canada the regular bag of Oreos is about 375g. It's a pretty forgiving recipe and a few more or less won't matter much.
They taste like a chocolate cheesecake truffle and are SO good! No one would guess how little goes into them and how easy they are. Sometimes I don't tell them either! After all, if they think I've slaved over them, why disappoint them with the truth?!

bclydia---thanks so much--I couldn't remember if there were other ingredients. He needed a recipe with fewer than 5 for demo project for school !! :thumbsup2

I made those for New Years Eve and they were amazing. Really rich though, you couldn't eat too many.
