A New Type of Cookie Monster

New types of chocolate treats are hard for me to come by. 21 years of daily chocolate consumption inevitably leads to trying all different types of goodies. Yesterday was different -- I tried a new chocolate treat for the first time in a very long time! My roommate and friend kept talking about Oreo truffles. I was skeptical at first, but now I am a believer. They are delicious and require only three ingredients: Oreos, cream cheese, and chocolate chips.

1. Take Oreos and crush them in a zip lock bag. We like to improvise in my apartment, and my roommate used a hammer. No need for tools or appliances, a simple rolling pin will work.

2. Mix the Oreo crumbs with cream cheese. (Ratio 1 box of oreos to bar of cream cheese)

3.Roll the mixture into balls



4. You're supposed to put them in the freezer, but my roommate put them in the fridge for about an hour.

5.Melt chocolate (white, milk or dark) and use a spoon to drizzle them over the Oreo balls.



Oreo truffles taste like all the goodness of cookies and milk rolled up into a convenient sized bite! How can you go wrong with three ingredients and no baking. I am definitely adding this into my chocolate repertoire.

Keep it chocolate,
