I'm making these (not ) RIGHT NOW for a party....want one? Picture inside.

[Papa Deuce]

ok, you got me...I made these today for work for one of my co-workers birthdays. Boy are they sweet!! I could eat one but no more than that!

But were they good?

Shameless bump, because these are GREAT at holiday parties.

 

[bettyann29]

wow.. those look so yummy!

 

[SoonerGirl]

My SIL makes these every Christmas. She uses just the white chocolate and calls them 'snowballs'. They are yummy!! We rarely have any left over.

 

[SoonerGirl]

They look fantastic, but I don't like chocolate.

 

[camreesmom]

My twin boys don't like chocolate either, they're 15. Don't know where they get that from because I LOVE chocolate and their dad can eat a can of chocolate frosting straight out of the can!!! Anyway, these look yummy and I think I just found my recipe for our annual cookie exchange. Thanks for sharing!

 

[MickeyMouseGal]

Here is a twist...
Use Mint Oreos!!! They tast just like Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies!
I think my family likes these better than the 'regular' ones!

 

[MickeyMouseGal]

Bump... as I'm making these tonight and wanted to share! Mmmmmm!!!

 

[Papa Deuce]

I'm actually mixing the milk chocolate with dark chocolate... you know, so it gets even MORE CHOCOLATY!

I make the Oreo Truffles every year, but I haven't tried mixing them like that. I may have to this year.

I make Oreo truffles every year during the holidays, and they are always a big hit. Some tips I have learned:

I melt my chocolate in the microwave. Add a tablespoon of Crisco to the almond or chocolate bark so it melts better and stays smooth.

They freeze well. I freeze most of mine without chocolate, and then dipped them fresh, but you can do both. A bag of say a dozen can be pulled out for a family snack, or to top on ice cream for dessert, and a few bags can come out to make a plate for a party.

Set them onto baking trays that previously were in the freezer (perhaps chilling the balls), and lined with nonstick baking paper - they set quicker and peel off the paper easily.

Make sure they are nice and hard and cold before dipping in chocolate (or bark).

It's easier to use 2 forks to manipulate them in the dipping chocolate.

If you melt white chocolate in a ziplock bag and snip the corner, you can drizzle over the brown chocolate coated balls so they look like expensive chocolate truffles!!

Placing each ball into a tiny petit four paper case when decorated like this makes people thing they are just SO extra special -and they all wonder at your greatness.

Thanks
DH walked by as I opened the thread and said yummy.
Now he will ask for these everyday till I make them.
But they do look good

Oh! I have a holiday cocktail party I am hosting in less than 2 weeks and these would be great! One question, what kind of chocolate do you use? Like melted chips or a special kind?

couldn't find the drooling smiley!

I used one of the bars of choclate you find in the baking aisle at the grocery store.

 

[Pumbaa_]

wow, just wow. these are now on my list of things to make for christmas

thanks for the tips too on how to make it simpler yet dress it up

I am wondering about using a higher end bark. Has anyone done that rather than the more inexpensive chocolate?

 

[C.Ann]

They look yummy!

 

[marshallandcartersmo]

These look so good!!

Do I have to refridgerate them after making them (because of the cream cheese) or can they be left out??

And can I poke them w/a toothpick to dunk them in the melted chocolate??? I don't have a slotted anything!!! Seriously, I don't bake.

You can use a fork to lift them from the melted chocolate.

Good idea!!

Anyone know about storage afterwards?? I imagine they'd have to stay in the fridge......
